Singapore Exchange Ltd. said Chinese brokerage GF Securities Co. will expand its foreign-exchange futures and other products on the Southeast Asian exchange, part of efforts to build connections between the China and Singapore capital markets.

As part of the deal, GF Securities will increase its commodity-derivatives trading on the Singapore exchange and seek to facilitate investment in Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts and fixed-income products, said Singapore Exchange said Monday.

The plan, agreed to in a memorandum of understanding, "paves the way for [GF Securities] clients to access the wide range of investment products and opportunities offered by SGX, thereby enhancing capital flows between China and Singapore," said Loh Boon Chye, chief executive of the exchange.

GF Securities Chairman Sun Shuming said the deal would help Chinese enterprises and investors branch out overseas while introducing yuan assets to global investors.

A unit of GF Securities has been a derivatives trading member of SGX since 2011.
