SGX Group (Singapore Exchange) is strengthening its global derivatives franchise with a comprehensive expansion of its equity derivatives shelf. Under a new licensing agreement with MSCI, SGX will introduce up to 100 new contracts. The initial phase comprises around 40 futures and options contracts across major developed and emerging markets economies.
These contracts span MSCI’s flagship global developed market benchmarks, key Asia-Pacific single-country indexes and EM Asia sector indexes, expanding the tools available to investors to manage equity risk across global portfolios. This marks a material broadening of SGX’s equities derivatives franchise. Building on its established listed access to key Asian exposures, including China, Japan, Taiwan and ASEAN, SGX is extending its shelf across more of the global, regional and sector-specific building blocks investors use to allocate capital and manage risk.
The expansion reflects how institutional portfolios are now managed across benchmark suites and regions and strengthens SGX’s role as a trusted offshore venue for centrally cleared portfolio hedging and benchmark exposure on one platform.
