[SINGAPORE] It is a Monday night, but the event space for an investment seminar by the Republic’s oldest stockbroking firm, Lim & Tan Securities (LTS), is packed to the brim. About 180 people are mingling, and there’s a palpable buzz as conversations flow and name cards are exchanged. It could easily be mistaken for a product launch or a corporate gathering – but it’s a seminar on investing in the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
“We reached full capacity, and had to pull up extra chairs for the event, and even reject people,” Nicholas Yon, research manager at LTS, told The Business Times.
Those who could not be accommodated had to join the seminar via an online broadcast.
