SGX launches structured certificates; first product linked to Hong-Kong listed Alibaba

SINGAPORE Exchange (SGX) is launching structured certificates, becoming the first exchange in Asia to list and offer the trading of such products.

Available to Specified Investment Products (SIP)-certified retail investors, these products are part of SGX’s bid to offer a wider range of instruments for investors of various profiles and needs.

These products are third party-issued financial instruments that offer benefits such as yield enhancements and growth payoffs. Returns are largely dependent on the performance of the underlying asset they are linked to, which can be a single stock or an equity index.
