Read? SGX launches initiatives to enhance listing, trading of fixed income products

Fixed Income Strategy

By spreading out the market risk using a portfolio of SGS, Corporate bonds A rated and Dividend Yielding stocks (at least 8%), it is possible to generate at least 4% returns.

    SGX has also appointed Ms Tng Kwee Lian, formerly from UOB Asset Management, as Senior Vice President and Head of Fixed Income to drive the promotion of bond trading to high net worth and individual investors.

    I think SGX will change the current $100K per lot to $XXK per lot. Let us wait and see
