    WHILE equities, foreign exchange and bonds are primarily traded electronically today, the trading of corporate loans has remained largely a manual and relationships-based exercise.

    Seeking to enhance the efficiency and liquidity of this market - which has traditionally thrived on roadshows, voice calls and Rolodexes - Singapore-based fintech iLex is creating a digital platform that allows automation for loan syndication and trade execution from start to finish.
