SGX, SPH to launch finance portal

• New free portal between SGX and SPH
• Advertisements on the website
• Marketed by the AsiaOne Network

Singapore - Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) have signed an agreement to develop a free financial portal with combined news and information, targeted for launch in the second half of 2010.

The portal aims to provide the investing public with integrated content from both SGX and SPH. At the website users will be able to obtain SGX's live market data, company announcements, research reports, regulatory news as well as SPH's breaking news on companies and stock markets.

Users will also have access to an Investor Relations (IR) section maintained by SPH-owned ShareInvestor.com (SI), which is a financial internet media and technology company. The IR section provides users corporate information of over 200 companies listed on SGX.

The English portal will be launched first, followed by a Chinese version in due course.

SPH will facilitate online advertisements on the portal, which provide advertisers the reach to a large audience of the investing public. The portal will be marketed as part of SPH's AsiaOne Network.

Alan Chan, chief executive officer of SPH, said in a statement: "SGX's website is very much the de facto website for the investing public to access stock market information. We believe this collaboration will provide an even more useful portal to the investing public by adding SPH news and Shareinvestor's investor relations information to the SGX website content."
