Could you please explain the fundamental distinctions between the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and the Straits Times Index (STI)? How do they differ in their roles, functions, and implications for investors? Is it accurate to assume that SGX is a platform for trading securities, while STI serves as a benchmark for the performance of Singapore's stock market? Clarifying these points would be highly appreciated.
