Den of The Lion Investor

One publication that I read regularly is The Edge Singapore. It covers a wide range of financial news and analysis, some of which include equities, unit trusts, forex and property. This weekly newspaper is quite useful and the articles are more insightful than what you find in The Straits Times and The Business Times.

The Edge Singapore is available from major bookstores at $3 a copy. If you order a yearly subsciption, you can get it at $1.50/copy. Renewal prices are usually at $1/copy.

My subscription of The Edge Singapore was due for renewal, so I decided to try my luck and look for around for any promotions.

True enough, I found one at the DBS website.

DBS Cashline customers would be able to order a years’ subscription at only $39 ($0.75/copy). The order has to be paid with a cashline check, so if you do not want to incur interest, make sure you credit money to your cashline account first.

If you do not have a DBS cashline account, look for a friend who has one and simply indicate his name (but your address) on the order form.

A few days ago, Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX) announced some rule amendments that will allow product offerings on a broader suite of asset classes in the securities market.

The new rules expand the application of existing Singapore Exchange Securities Trading (SGX-ST) Rules and Central Depository (CDP) Clearing Rules to allow trading of listed structured products based on futures prices.

With the rule change, financial institutions will probably be coming up with more innovative products to offer to retail investors.

Listed futures?

However, unless there is sufficient interest and liquidty, we will probably still need the issuers to be a market maker for these products for them to be successful.

Today, we celebrate the birth of the Lion Investor.

Why was this blog set up?

Well, the short anwer is to reach out to more people and increase their financial literacy.

For the long answer, you can read all about it on the about page.

Thank you for visiting the Den of the Lion Investor; hope you find it useful.
