Singapore Exchange — Latest Securities Entity to Select CameronFIX Engine in Asia Pacific
London UK, Friday August 13, 2004 — Leading global Financial Information Exchange (FIX) Engine solutions provider Cameron Systems today announced Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX) is the latest securities entity in the region to select the CameronFIX Engine.
SGX will use CameronFIX for the SGXAccess Gateway to provide seamless electronic order routing to the SGX securities market using the FIX protocol. SGX will also integrate CameronFIX with its Order Routing and Market Data Trading Link to enhance ease of connectivity between SGX and other exchanges.
The CameronFIX site license purchased by SGX will enable the Singapore bourse to install the CameronFIX Engine at all its trading Members’ sites. This will allow SGX’s member firms to trade in Singapore’s securities market from anywhere in the world through their own trading terminals.
Said Mr. Chew Hong Gian, Executive Vice President and Head of Technology at Singapore Exchange, "We are pleased to use CameronFIX to provide more efficient global access to our marketplace through SGXAccess, which is key to our growth strategies of extending our reach and increasing market depth and liquidity."
"We look forward to working with the Singapore Exchange to provide their customers with a proven, high performance and robust FIX solution," said Cameron Systems sales director, Mr. Glenn Cruickshank. "CameronFIX demonstrated ‘best fit’ for the Singapore Exchange and given the increasing demand for FIX throughout Asia Pacific, this comes as a timely response for solving Singapore Exchange’s FIX customisation issues now and into the future."
About Singapore Exchange Ltd.

Leveraging on the combined strengths of the former entities, and through its innovative approach, broad range of products, strong international alliances and cutting-edge technology, SGX aims to establish itself as a leading integrated exchange and expand its presence in the global financial marketplace. On November 23, 2000 SGX became the first exchange in Asia Pacific to be listed via a public offer and a private placement. SGX is listed on its own Mainboard.
