SGX CEO Loh Boon Chye will step down in 2027. SGX has started searching for a successor, and Loh said there will be “ample time” for a smooth handover.

SGX posted record 2026 results. Revenue rose 13.9% to $1.5 billion, and adjusted net profit rose 24.6% to $759.5 million.

Loh said SGX will keep growing as a multi-asset platform. Plans include gold clearing, physically deliverable gold futures, and tokenisation of securities collateral.

SINGAPORE – The Singapore Exchange has begun its search for a new chief executive, as current CEO Loh Boon Chye will step down from his role in 2027.

Loh, who took the helm of the SGX Group in July 2015, announced his decision at the company’s annual general meeting (AGM) on Oct 23, held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention centre .

He said that the bourse’s strong performance and foundation presented an opportunity to be “equally thoughtful and deliberate about the leadership that will take SGX into its next phase of growth”.

He said he had shared his intention to plan the CEO transition with SGX chairman Koh Boon Hwee before the AGM, and the two executives would work together to find his successor.

Loh, whose contract runs until mid-July 2027, said: “We are doing so from a position of strength – with a clear strategy, strong momentum and a highly capable leadership team.

“This gives us the opportunity to plan thoughtfully and with confidence for the future.

“To me, this is part of building a strong and enduring institution; one that continues to grow, evolve and achieve greater success in the years ahead.”

No date has been set for the transition yet.

Loh noted that the bourse will have “ample time” to plan the transition and ensure a smooth and seamless handover, with continuity in SGX’s strategy, business and relationships with its stakeholders.

SGX recorded all-time highs in revenue and net profit for the 2026 financial year ended June 30. Revenue rose 13.9% to $1.5 billion, while adjusted net profit reached $759.5 million, up 24.6%.

Loh had described 2026 as an “exceptional year” for the stock market, marked by improving participation, liquidity and trading activity.

Retail participation hit a five-year high, with net revenue from cash equities up 28.1% to $502.9 million, accounting for 34% of total net revenue.

Securities daily average value also increased 34.9% to $1.8 billion, while the total securities traded value increased 35.5% to $455.7 billion.

In his address to around 400 shareholders, Loh also cited SGX’s multi-asset strategy as a key driver of the bourse’s performance and said it will continue to expand its product suite to build the bourse with multiple engines of growth and resilient earnings.

This includes a platform for clearing gold trades, as well as a physically deliverable gold futures contract.

Responding to a shareholder’s question, he added that SGX is looking to implement the tokenisation of securities collateral, which could entail issuing digital tokens to represent ownership of traditional securities such as stocks and government bonds.

“My ambitions for SGX are greater than ever. I want us to accelerate our growth, expand our global reach and take SGX to a new level. That is what I intend to drive forward.

“We have built something strong together, and I genuinely believe our best opportunities are still ahead of us,” said Loh .

Koh said Loh stepped into the role in 2015 “in the middle of a crisis” as the bourse had been hit by a number of outages that led to trading halts.

“Being at the top of a company like SGX comes with a tremendous amount of pressure,” Koh added.

He credited Loh with stabilising the situation by strengthening its information technology capabilities, which was instrumental in transforming SGX from a cash equities market to a global multi-asset platform.

Citing SGX’s strong financial performance and rising share price, which is up by more than 21% since the start of 2026, Koh said the company has seen a significant track record under Loh’s leadership and described his decision to step down as a “bittersweet moment”.

Shares of SGX briefly fell about 0.4% to $20.57 after the market opened on Oct 23, before climbing to $20.73 by the midday break.

新加坡交易所首席执行官罗文财将于2027年卸任。新加坡交易所已开始寻找继任者，罗文财表示将有“充足的时间”实现平稳交接。

新加坡交易所公布了创纪录的2026年业绩。营收增长13.9%至15亿美元，调整后净利润增长24.6%至7.595亿美元。

罗先生表示，新加坡交易所将继续发展成为多元资产平台。相关计划包括黄金清算、实物交割黄金期货以及证券抵押品代币化。

新加坡——新加坡交易所已开始寻找新的首席执行官，现任首席执行官罗文财将于 2027 年卸任。

罗先生于 2015 年 7 月接管新加坡交易所集团，并于 10 月 23 日在滨海湾金沙会展中心举行的公司年度股东大会上宣布了他的决定。

他表示，交易所强劲的表现和基础为“认真思考和慎重选择能够带领新加坡交易所进入下一个增长阶段的领导层”提供了一个机会。

他表示，在年度股东大会之前，他已向新加坡交易所主席许文辉透露了自己计划首席执行官过渡的意图，两位高管将共同努力寻找他的继任者。

罗先生的合同到 2027 年 7 月中旬到期，他表示：“我们正处于优势地位——拥有清晰的战略、强劲的势头和一支能力很强的领导团队。”

“这让我们有机会深思熟虑、充满信心地规划未来。”

“在我看来，这是建设一个强大而持久的机构的一部分；一个在未来几年里不断发展、进步并取得更大成功的机构。”

目前尚未确定过渡日期。

罗先生指出，交易所将有“充足的时间”来规划过渡，确保平稳无缝地交接，并保持新加坡交易所的战略、业务以及与利益相关者的关系的连续性。

新加坡交易所 (SGX) 2026 财年（截至 6 月 30 日）的收入和净利润均创历史新高。收入增长 13.9% 至 15 亿美元，而调整后的净利润达到 7.595 亿美元，增长 24.6%。

罗先生曾将 2026 年描述为股市的“特殊年份”，其特点是参与度、流动性和交易活动均有所改善。

零售参与度达到五年来的最高水平，现金股票净收入增长 28.1% 至 5.029 亿美元，占总净收入的 34%。

证券日均成交额也增长了 34.9%，达到 18 亿美元，而证券总成交额增长了 35.5%，达到 4557 亿美元。

罗先生在向约 400 名股东发表讲话时，还指出新加坡交易所的多资产策略是推动交易所业绩的关键因素，并表示将继续扩大其产品组合，以打造拥有多个增长引擎和稳健盈利能力的交易所。

这包括一个用于清算黄金交易的平台，以及一份可进行实物交割的黄金期货合约。

在回答股东提问时，他补充说，新加坡交易所正在考虑实施证券抵押品代币化，这可能涉及发行数字代币来代表股票和政府债券等传统证券的所有权。

“我对新加坡交易所的期望比以往任何时候都更高。我希望我们加快增长，扩大全球影响力，并将新加坡交易所提升到一个新的水平。这就是我打算努力的方向。”

“我们共同打造了强大的事业，我真心相信我们最好的机会还在前方，”罗说道。

Koh表示，Loh于2015年“在危机之中”接任该职位，当时交易所遭受了多次故障，导致交易暂停。

Koh补充道：“身居新加坡交易所这样的公司高层，压力巨大。”

他认为罗先生通过加强信息技术能力稳定了局势，这对于将新加坡交易所从现金股票市场转型为全球多资产平台起到了至关重要的作用。

Koh 指出，新加坡交易所 (SGX) 的财务表现强劲，股价自 2026 年初以来上涨超过 21%，该公司在 Loh 的领导下取得了显著的业绩，并称 Loh 的卸任决定是一个“苦乐参半的时刻”。

10 月 23 日，新加坡交易所 (SGX) 股票开盘后一度下跌约 0.4% 至 20.57 美元，随后在午休时回升至 20.73 美元。
