SINGAPORE (Oct 25): The Thomson Reuters and Singapore Exchange Fixed Income Indices (TR/SGX SFI) has been chosen as the recommended fixed income benchmark by United Overseas Bank (UOB) after the discontinuation of the UOB SGS Index.

The TR/SGX SFI provides a wide coverage of over 60 government, statutory board and corporate bond indices, and time-specific assessment of the fair market value of SGD bonds by the Thomson Reuters Evaluated Pricing Service.

“Interest in Singapore’s fixed income market has grown recently, particularly in the Corporate and Statutory Board bond segments, alongside the need for trustworthy index products for benchmarking,” says Stephan Flagel, global head of Indices, Thomson Reuters.
