How do we view this? Securities business on a steady recover path. In line with our earlier report, securities revenue grew 2.2% q-q with SDAV improving by 12%. We had expected higher average clearing fee but 3Q15 ticked down 0.1bps q-q to 2.9bps. We still believe that is a positive sign (similar to 2Q) as this implies increase participation of market makers and liquidity providers. Indeed, their market share of trades has increased to 16%. Pace of derivatives growth slowed down q-q but still key driver of growth. Derivatives revenue grew 4.3% (3% increase in DDAV). Average yield per contract increased to S$1.39 (2Q15: S$1.30) as more Nifty contracts were traded. Derivatives revenue was a beat on higher than expected average yield (PSR estimated an increase to S$1.35). SGX continues to increase efforts to grow the derivatives business through increased distribution and more products. Connecting with Taiwan. SGX and Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) plans for an equity trading link may begin sometime in the first half of 2016. It might be beneficial for deepening of liquidity but we do not think that it will translate to better volumes for now, from a synergistic perspective (Singapore vis-à-vis Taiwan as opposed to HK-China). More competition in the future. SGX has improved its China A50 index futures market share to 1.4% (2Q15: 1.3%) with potential to grow much more from a low base. As mentioned in our earlier report, we might see potential competition from HKex but that might not translate to lesser A50 volumes for SGX.

Investment Actions 9M15 operating revenue and NPAT forms 73%/74% of PSR estimates hence we leave our estimates unchanged. Maintain “Accumulate” with unchanged TP of S$8.75. Key rerating catalysts are sustainably higher SDAV beyond our FY16 forecasts of S$1.2bn, increased pace of DDAV growth and positive impact from equity trading links.
