SGX RegCo Moves to Broaden Use of Broker Custody Accounts to Modernise Market Infrastructure

The latest announcement is out from Singapore Exchange ( (SG:S68) ).

Singapore Exchange Regulation is proposing rule amendments to encourage broader use of broker custody accounts for SGX-listed securities, aligning Singapore’s post-trade custody framework with global market practices. By shifting more investors towards an omnibus broker custody model, SGX RegCo aims to allow retail investors to consolidate local and foreign portfolios with a single broker and access value-added services such as fractional trading, robo-investing and portfolio management, while making it easier for internationally active asset managers—already familiar with omnibus structures—to participate in Singapore’s market. The regulator emphasises that as the infrastructure is modernised, the custody framework will remain robust, with stronger and more consistent operational standards across intermediaries intended to safeguard investors and support wider adoption of the broker custody model, thereby bolstering Singapore’s competitiveness as a trading and investment centre.

The most recent analyst rating on (SG:S68) stock is a Buy with a S$21.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Singapore Exchange stock, see the SG:S68 Stock Forecast page.
