Singapore Exchange Ltd is pushing for Chinese fund managers to invest in Asian markets such as India through the city-state’s bourse, chief executive officer Hsieh Fu Hua (謝福華) said yesterday.
“Singapore’s exchange allows Chinese fund houses to look beyond the mainland and Hong Kong, in particular at India, where we’re making a big push, and also in Japan and Taiwan,” Hsieh said at a press briefing in Beijing.
Singapore’s exchange is also encouraging Chinese funds to invest in commodities through the bourse, said Hsieh, who met Chinese fund houses with overseas investment quotas under the so-called qualified domestic institutional investor program.
Hsieh was speaking at a briefing marking the opening of Singapore Exchange’s first office in China. The company, also known as SGX, runs Singapore’s securities and derivatives markets.
Rivals NYSE Euronext, NASDAQ Stock Market Inc and London Stock Exchange Group Plc opened offices in China following a change in regulations last year to vie for an increasing number of Chinese firms going public.
There are 141 Chinese companies listed on Singapore’s exchange with a total market capitalization of S$45.1 billion (US$33 billion).
Of the 40 new initial public offerings by foreign companies in the nine months since July 1, 27 of them are from China, SGX said on Monday.

The popular Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) arbitrage trade might soon see a change in dynamics that could affect the trading of the US listing versus the local one. And for anyone who wants to monetize the elevated premium, Goldman Sachs Group Inc highlights potential trades. A note from the bank’s sales desk published on Friday said that demand for TSMC’s Taipei-traded stock could rise as Taiwan’s regulator is considering an amendment to local exchange-traded funds’ (ETFs) ownership. The changes, which could come in the first half of this year, could push up the current 30 percent single-stock weight limit
PROTECTION: The investigation, which takes aim at exporters such as Canada, Germany and Brazil, came days after Trump unveiled tariff hikes on steel and aluminum products US President Donald Trump on Saturday ordered a probe into potential tariffs on lumber imports — a move threatening to stoke trade tensions — while also pushing for a domestic supply boost. Trump signed an executive order instructing US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to begin an investigation “to determine the effects on the national security of imports of timber, lumber and their derivative products.” The study might result in new tariffs being imposed, which would pile on top of existing levies. The investigation takes aim at exporters like Canada, Germany and Brazil, with White House officials earlier accusing these economies of
