'SGX Advisors' Changes Name to 'SGH Macro Advisors'

NEW YORK, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- SGX Advisors announces its name change to SGH Macro Advisors effective March 1, 2010. The name change was done in order to minimize any potential confusion with the Singapore Exchange.

SGH Macro Advisors (www.sghmacro.com) provides foreign exchange and global macro intelligence and trading to hedge funds, money managers and policy makers.

SGH delivers high level, forward looking intelligence on the increasingly interlinked major emerging and developed country policies that impact both foreign exchange and fixed income markets.

SGH intelligence combines deep in-house expertise in central bank policy, geopolitics, trading, and financial markets, with input from a global network of well informed, independent sources.

SGH was founded by Sassan Ghahramani, former President and CEO of political intelligence firm Medley Global Advisors, senior FX trader for Lehman Brothers, AIG Trading Group, and Chemical Bank, and head of foreign exchange trading for UBS New York.

The SGH team is supported by Zulfiqar Ali, originator and portfolio manager of Prudential's first emerging markets fixed income fund; by Rachel Roosevelt, associate director for Latin America; by its global consultant network; and by the sales, trading, and research resources of its partner, Arbor Research and Trading.

Sassan Ghahramani, President and CEO of SGH Macro Advisors, said, "I am extremely pleased with the initial feedback we have received from our clients, who are among the most well-informed money managers in the world."

"Markets have been buffeted by policy events from Washington to Athens, from Frankfurt to Tokyo, Beijing, Dubai and Delhi," he continued. "We have been able to keep clients well ahead of the curve on topics ranging from the esoteric, such as Ukrainian domestic political coalition dynamics, to the widely covered, like Greece and the U.S. Congressional healthcare battle. We expect markets to continue to be driven by such macro forces for the next decade."

SGH provides its clients professional institutional currency and bond trading capabilities through Arbor, who has offices in the U.S., UK and Switzerland.
