Singapore Exchange (SGX) and global index provider FTSE Russell have expanded their alliance to create new Asian multi-asset solutions.

The partners will co-develop and market a multi-asset index derivatives offering. This new solution will target Asian and Emerging Markets, said SGX.

Meanwhile, core products will focus on FTSE’s global benchmark indices for Fixed Income, Listed Real Estate, Global Equities and Currencies.

This will cater to institutional investors’ demand for SGX solutions in multi-asset, ESG, dividend, sector and duration strategies.

SGX CEO Loh Boon Chye said: “Together with FTSE Russell, we have built one of the largest and most liquid FTSE equity index derivatives franchises for Asian markets.

“With this expanded agreement with FTSE Russell, we will develop more unique tools to match evolving investor needs.”

FTSE Russell CEO Waqas Samad said: “We are delighted to expand our successful relationship with SGX with this new strategic partnership, which will help support growing client and investment demand across Asia for access to index-based listed futures and options markets as well as ETFs.”

SGX already has plans to introduce Asia’s first international REIT futures based on the FTSE EPRA Nareit Asia ex-Japan Index.

Over the coming months, the partners will launch products for global investors who seek to diversify their portfolios for investment opportunities and cost efficiencies.
