October 23rd, 2010 admin Lawrence Mijares – AHN News Contributor
Sydney, Australia (AHN) – Singapore’s stock exchange is poised to take over its counterpart, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), forming a US$13.8 billion alliance, through a US$6 billion bid by Singapore to be announced Monday, according to media reports.
Commenting on the reported merger, a spokesman for the Australian exchange said Friday, “ASX does not have any information to disclose at this time but has observed an increase in the ASX share price today.” The ASX called for a two-day trading halt last week prior to the start of the weekend.
Former Merrill Lynch Australia chief executive Greg Bundy told The Australian that the merger was in line with the global trend towards consolidation between exchanges, ahead of the planned merger of the Japanese and Hong Kong bourses.
“Singapore and Australia are the most progressive of the exchanges in this time zone, they are the market leaders, and it could be they are getting together to pre-empt the involvement of Japan and Hong Kong both of which have had their issues,” he said.
The merger would still be subject to government approval, particularly by the Foreign Investment Review Board. It is expected to enhance cultural ties between the two countries as well as accelerate financial links into Asia by Australians who can now invest easily in Asian shares, and vice versa for Asian investors over Australian shares.
Singapore stock exchange chairman J.Y. Pillay and its chief executive, Magnus Bocker, will maintain the same positions in the merged exchange while ASX chairman David Gonski will assume the post of deputy chairman.

Private vs Professional Investors
November 14th, 2009 admin

Proponents of pooled funds argue that there is a great uncertainty on the stock market, and that it is dangerous for the private investor to play there, as they get prone to high losses and costs. Although there is a grain of truth in this, the argument for holding an investment in a unit trust or investment trust is just as good as that for holding equities. In the long term, returns from holding equities have outstripped returns from safer investments such as corporate bonds, gilts and deposits. In spite of these gains, the fact still remains that professional investors have some advantages over private investors. The advantages enjoyed by professionals span three main areas, namely:
(i) information gap
(ii) economies of scale and
(iii) expertise, and these shall be considered in turn.
Professional investors, fund managers to be specific, have become increasingly powerful as the (more…)
