SICOM is governed by the Securities and Futures Act (SFA) and strictly abides by the codes of standards and disclosures regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

The Exchange offers market participants the trading of rubber futures contracts on its electronic platform, e-SICOM, which is a fully integrated clearing and settlement system that is scalable and reliable. Participants can gain access to greater transparency, price discovery and liquidity in the market.
