Tiger Brokers Singapore launches traineeship programme to develop financial talent

Tiger Brokers Singapore launches a six-month traineeship programme to train remisiers, blending technology and mentorship to support the local stock market.

Tiger Brokers Singapore has launched the Tiger L.E.A.P. (Learn, Experience, Achieve, Perform) Programme, a six-month traineeship designed to prepare aspiring remisiers for a digital-first trading environment. This industry-first initiative is open to recent graduates and mid-career professionals and aims to empower participants with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in Singaporeโ€™s evolving financial markets.

The programme addresses challenges faced by the remisier profession, combining innovation and human interaction to ensure participants are ready to bridge the gap between traditional financial advisory and technology-driven trading platforms.

Modernising the role of remisiers

Remisiers, also known as trading representatives, have been central to Singaporeโ€™s brokerage industry. However, the rise of digital trading and technological advancements has reshaped the sector, creating a need for remisiers to adapt. The Tiger L.E.A.P. Programme seeks to rejuvenate this profession by offering practical training and mentorship, blending traditional advisory skills with the latest market technologies.

Participants will benefit from a holistic experience, including market immersion, hands-on training, and global exposure. The programmeโ€™s goal is to develop modern remisiers who can use technology to provide personalised services and contribute to revitalising the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

Key features of the programme include:

  • Comprehensive training: Participants will undergo rotations across departments, gaining expertise in areas such as trading, portfolio management, and client relations under the guidance of experienced professionals.
  • Market immersion: Hands-on exposure to financial analysis and trading strategies will prepare participants to meet diverse client needs and adapt to market changes.
  • Reimagined career opportunities: Graduates will be equipped to bridge traditional financial advisory roles with modern digital platforms, sparking renewed interest in SGX.
  • Global exposure: High-performing participants will have the chance to visit Tiger Brokersโ€™ global headquarters, gaining international insights and networking with top industry experts.

Tackling industry challenges

The Tiger L.E.A.P. Programme also aims to address common challenges faced by remisiers, including the growing demand for timely, actionable advice and the need to stay ahead of digital finance trends. Participants will learn to use advanced tools and apply innovative strategies to enhance client services while building strong relationships through personalised guidance.

“We recognise the challenges facing the remisier profession and see an opportunity to reignite its relevance by blending tradition with innovation,” said Ian Leong, CEO of Tiger Brokers Singapore. “The Tiger L.E.A.P. Programme is our commitment to empowering the next generation of remisiers and supporting them in offering clients personalised services, ensuring that they thrive in a rapidly changing financial landscape and contribute to the vibrancy of Singapore’s stock market.”

S Nallakaruppan, President of The Society of Remisiers (Singapore), added, “The stockbroking industry is going through a major transformation from a transactional mode to a value-added mode. Tiger’s L.E.A.P. programme will certainly help in this transformation to equip new entrants with the necessary skill set to provide the value-added services which clients would appreciate. Wishing Tiger Brokers all the best in their recruitment to revitalise the stockbroking industry.”
