of PhillipCapital, is the first in Singapore to launch the
online sale of Singapore Government Treasury Bills (T Bills),
via its Internet trading platform – Phillip’s

issued by the Singapore government. They work like a savings
product, similar to Fixed Deposits, which reward the investors
with interest rates at the end of an agreed term. For people
who are looking for a short-term investment that provides
a good yield, T Bills are good choice as they provide higher
interest rate than simple Fixed Deposits.
Launch of OTC Capital

platform for the shares of unlisted Singapore companies. It

and requirements that are set out in the OTC Trading Rules.
This also allows investors, who need not to be in the league
of Venture Capitalists or Private Equity Firms to invest in
unlisted securities via the OTC Trading Platform. This platform
allows smaller investors to diversify into riskier assets
such as unlisted securities and this allows for greater diversification
in asset allocation for investors.

and machinery loans as well as investments. It has further
diversified in the last few years into credit insurance and
guarantee, mezzanine capital and structured finance, as well
as cross border loans and finance. A name change is thus appropriate
to reflect its diversity. The new name, IFS Capital Limited
retains the historical brand name, IFS, as well as identifies
with its growing diversification into other services.

them the opportunity of seeking potentially higher returns
in international stock markets as well as widening their risk
management options via greater diversification of equity portfolios.

us and Phillip Securities is seamless via an internet platform
base compared to the broker assisted method. Speed of execution
and confirmation is tremendously improved. It is similar to
using our current Bursa Malaysia "Broker Front End"
system, in which a dealer takes an order from a client, executes
and confirms electronically," RHB Securities chief executive
officer, Dr Zaha Rina Zahari said.

Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Dongwon Securities Co. Ltd.
(Korea), Polaris Securities Co. Ltd. (Taiwan), Tai fook Securities
Co. Ltd. (Hong Kong), which currently use Aizawa Securities'
on-line trading service, will also participate in the online
trading through CqConnect. Aizawa's president, Mr. Shuzo Yoshida,
said that this service will eventually be extended to Brazil,
Russia, China and India. Mr. Yoshida expects the overseas
online turnover to rise at least 50 percent with this tie-up.
Representing PhillipCapital
at the signing is Executive Chairman, Mr. Lim Hua Min. "We're
looking at the long-term implications of exposing both our
markets to each other," Mr Lim said. "While costs
are low, the benefits from a global link-up are tremendous.
A company that becomes a member of the CqConnect family will
gain immediate access to 9 countries and 11 major exchanges,
representing a significant volume of the world's equity business."
