Gain access to private market opportunities at lower minimums 

1. Private equity 

Private equity offers investors an ownership stake in companies that are not listed on any public stock exchanges. According to historical data, private equity has outperformed the public markets on average, and hence, can offer investors much higher potential returns than traditional securities.

2. Private debt 

 

Private debt typically involves investors (not banks) giving a loan to private companies or buying and selling those loans in exchange for interest paid. Some examples of private debt are commercial paper and structured credit. Such debt offers higher potential yields than regular debt products traded publicly.

Investors can gain access to private equity and private debt products through KGISS for as low as US$5,000.

1. Margin financing 

Our margin facility allows clients to access up to 3.5 times their capital to finance the purchase of securities by pledging cash and/or marginable securities as collateral. Marginable products include selected shares quoted on SGX, HKSE, NYSE, NASDAQ, and SET, bonds, and mutual funds.

2. Securities borrowing and lending (SBL) 

Securities borrowing and lending (SBL) involves a temporary loan of securities between the borrower and lender. The borrower borrows the shares for shorting purposes while maintaining a required level of collateral and paying any incurred fees back to the lender. Additionally, lenders will receive a lending fee. We provide an on-demand SBL facility for clients to hedge their investment portfolios.

3. Custodial services 

We provide custodial services for various products. Clients can transfer their existing holdings with another brokerage or bank (within or outside of Singapore) to us for custody.
