About Us
The Remisiers and Our Society

The word ‘Remisier’ is not found in any English dictionary. It is a French word meaning ‘intermediate man’. In the context of the Paris Bourse, a remisier is a half-commission broker. In the present Singapore context, a remisier is a licensed Trading Representative who is attached to a SGX member broking firm and who receives 40% of the commission. Until mid seventies, the commission rate was 50%.

The first remisiers started work after the 2nd World War with early firms such as Fraser & Co, Lyall & Evatt and J. M. Sassoon.

They dealt mainly in commodity stocks (mainly rubber and tin) which were listed on the London Stock Exchange for investors in Singapore and Malaya.
