The Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Asian Futures Trading Group was the starting point of the Business Standards Committee. The Business Standards Committee will undertake a review of our business standards and make recommendations to the Board of Directors and senior management to reinforce the firm’s client focus and improve upon the transparency of our activities.

“We recognize that there is misunderstanding between how we view the firm and how the broader public perceives our roles and activities,” said Qiu Song, Compliance Manager of Asian Futures Trading Group. “This initiative is consistent with our obligation to ensure that our standards across our business activities are of the highest quality and represent the benchmark for our industry globally.”

The Business Standards Committee will establish working groups to focus on the following five areas:

·         Customer development. This group will re-examine and clarify the responsibilities we have to our clients and the different roles we may play to accomplish our clients’ objectives.

·         Investment products. This group will consider how to address various issues surrounding complex products, including the suitability of products for different types of clients.

·         Business Ethics. The focus of this group will be on how best to strengthen our professional ethics and clear and effective communication.

The Business Standards Committee will actively seek input from external constituencies and experts, including clients, shareholders, regulators, academics and public policy groups. A series of discussions and meetings will be held with these groups so the Committee hears and benefits from independent views, advice and judgment. These interactions will represent a core component of the Committee’s work.

Asian FTG (www.asian-ftg.com)Launches New Outright Price Assessments for Raw and White Sugar

Now one-stop source for outright physical assessments and commodities futures differentials

The new offering includes four new outright price assessments for raw sugar and seven new outright price assessments for white sugar.
