Here’s an extract from the talk:  ,
Andrea Heng:
When it comes to what is listed on the SGX, the financial organizations are highly favored by Taiwanese investors. Some analysts now claim that the SGX lacks variety, making it safer than other markets. This seems to be a little contradictory. If it’s secure and safe, how does the lack of diversity actually hamper us more than make us happy?  ,
Yang Eu Jin:  ,
We’re certainly a very different business. Surely in terms of the value of the stocks, we have around 600 over listed firms. Of course, they come from a variety of businesses, but many of them are pretty small. In the financial industry, the big boys are therefore three. Yes, we are a healthy industry, and we are a steady business. ( If you ) compare us to virtually any other market out there, we are a lot more stable.  ,
Andrea:
But are we boring?  ,
Eu Jin:  ,
Sure we are, but that’s not a terrible thing. There is an investment firm whose motto is” Be boring, make money”.  ,
