To boost trading liquidity, waive commissions and fees on trading of structured warrants
I REFER to the article “It’s time to employ innovative strategies to boost valuations in Singapore stocks” (BT, Mar 27, 2024).
As a long-time investor in Singapore stocks, I fully agree with the sentiments voiced in the article. The stocks listed on the Singapore Exchange are listless and unexciting. It has been more than 16 years since the Straits Times Index (STI) peaked and to date, the index is nowhere near its previous high, while US stock indices have gone on to more than treble.
I would like to suggest a quick and easy way to boost the trading liquidity and valuation of stocks listed on SGX – SGX and brokerage companies should waive commissions and fees on the trading of structured warrants.
