Singapore Exchange (SGX) today announced it is licensing three futures-based indices to Yuanta SITC, the leading ETF provider in Taiwan. The futures indices provide inverse, leverage and market exposure through the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Futures.

We are delighted to be partnering with Yuanta SITC, the largest ETF issuer in Taiwan, to help them fulfill their ambitions and develop indices that will enable investors to express their views on emerging markets across varying market cycles.”
