    RETAIL participation in the Singapore market has fallen in the last 18 months, but it is also less speculative today, a senior executive at the Singapore Exchange (SGX) suggested on Friday.

    Speaking at a Bank of Singapore conference, SGX's head of sales and clients Chew Sutat said daily retail participation is now a "tad lower" at 35-40 per cent over the last 18 months, compared to a year before.
