Singapore Exchange (SGX) will from 14 April 2014 standardise how shares of listed companies are identified on their trading counters and on investors' Central Depository (CDP) statements.

The initiative is part of efforts to improve the securities market for investors and listed companies. By standardising the names of listed companies' shares across both information channels, investors can more easily recognise what shares they have invested in.

This enhancement will only apply to a company's ordinary shares. All other information relating to the names of other types of securities such as bonds, warrants, structured warrants, preferences shares, and exchange traded funds, as well as the stock code of companies and the legal names of companies will be reviewed and amended as appropriate at a later date as we continued with our improvement initiatives.
