Few pickings on SGX for those seeking to ride disruption wave (Amended)
Analysts also warn that some old-school stocks are in danger of going the way of the dodo if they don't evolve faster
Singapore
INVESTORS seeking to capitalise on the disruption theme via the Singapore stock market may need to look elsewhere for buys. Disruption plays are still few and far between and although blue chips have been setting up start-up accelerators and venture capital (VC) arms, it is too early to tell how effective those will be, analysts say.
The Singapore Exchange has yet to attract prominent tech start-up initial public offerings (IPOs) and is itself in danger of being disrupted as an equities investment platform by new technologies, they add.
