Brokerage now offers direct access to Asia’s most international exchange
Blackwell Global Hong Kong announces today its admittance as a member of the Singapore Exchange Derivatives Trading (SGX-DT). Global clients will gain direct access to the Asian derivatives market through the SGX Asian Gateway.
As the subsidiary of Blackwell Global Hong Kong, Blackwell Global Futures’ membership of the SGX-DT allows the brokerage to offer the Exchange’s derivative contracts to both Hong Kong and international investors, bringing them highly competitive futures trading fees along with direct connectivity to Asia’s most international and connected exchange. Investors will be able to trade with exchanges in the biggest economies of Asia, such as Tokyo in Japan, and Shanghai and Shenzhen in China.
Michael Syn, Head of Derivatives, SGX, said, “We are delighted to welcome Blackwell Global Futures to our growing community of members, and look forward to supporting them as we continue to grow the liquidity and global network within our derivatives market.”
Michael Chai, Chairman of the Blackwell Global Group said, “We’re very honoured to be formally admitted as a Derivatives Trading Member of SGX. This is a significant development in our ongoing commitment to offer our clients trading products and services of esteemed repute, especially with the rapidly growing demand for Asian markets.”
Blackwell Global Hong Kong was launched in 2015 offering precious metals investments, with the SFC stocks and futures licences attained in 2017. The SGX-DT membership is in addition to the SFC asset management licence acquired this year, marking itself as a strong newcomer to the financial industry.
