Online Brokerage Tiger Brokers Kicks off Green Sustainability Efforts Through WWF-SINGAPORE Partnership

SINGAPORE, Feb 28, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Tiger Brokers (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("Tiger Brokers Singapore") today announced a partnership with World Wide Fund for Nature Singapore (WWF-Singapore) to promote green sustainability efforts in Singapore. Tiger Brokers, as the lead sponsor with WWF-Singapore, will be launching the first AR-mazing Tiger Trail at Gardens by the Bay on 26 February, to kickstart the company's sustainability agenda in 2022.WWF-Singapore's AR-mazing Tiger Trail will feature a 3-part island-wide trail that focuses on tiger conservation and other key environmental causes impacting the planet today, using art as a vehicle to educate, spark discussion and action. Today, there are approximately 3,900 tigers left in the wild. According to WWF-Singapore, the overall tiger populations are declining and many are still at risk. In some areas of Southeast Asia such as Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam within the last 25 years, tigers have completely disappeared.Eng Thiam Choon, Chief Executive Officer, Tiger Brokers (Singapore), shared "Together with WWF-Singapore, we aim to raise global awareness of the importance of tiger conservation efforts globally and across Asia. Celebrating Tiger Brokers' 8th anniversary this year, the year of the tiger and this initiative relates well with our brand identity and Tiger Mascot. More importantly, it kickstarts our journey as a force for good for the environment, society, and community at large.As an innovative FinTech company, there is more we can do beyond just finance. Being one of the leading online brokerage companies, our focus lies in creating a better shared future for everyone. Since our inception seven years ago, we have been actively seeking ways to support people's global investing strategies through cutting-edge technologies. Similarly, our collaboration with WWF-Singapore leverages technology to raise awareness and engagement on the importance of maintaining biodiversity and a balanced ecosystem.We hope that the WWF-Singapore's AR-mazing Tiger Trail campaign, featuring exceptional art pieces, will inspire individuals to do the right thing and raise awareness to protect our ecosystem. Together, we can do more to reverse the decline of wildlife than we can alone. Let's immerse ourselves in the fascinating art world and empower more people to get involved in WWF-Singapore's conservation work.""WWF-Singapore is thankful for the support from our esteemed partners such as Tiger Brokers, who have made the WWF-Singapore's AR-mazing Tiger Trail possible. We hope that individuals and businesses will learn from this artistic trail and be inspired to play a more active role in tackling the climate crisis and protecting our natural biodiversity," said Mr. R. Raghunathan, CEO of WWF-Singapore.Putting on a Green LensSustainability will continue to be a key agenda in Tiger Broker's long-term strategy. As a first step, Tiger Brokers Singapore, in line with MAS' Green FinTech agenda, will be applying a "Green Lens" on all its business operations.Since its inception in 2014, the company has been focusing on reducing its carbon footprint and actively promoting green and sustainable development by using artificial intelligence to develop its internet platform and online financial applications, going paperless and using energy-saving infrastructure.This has a significant impact given that Tiger Brokers as of the end of third quarter of 2021 has over 1.767 million account opening customers worldwide and over 612,000 deposit clients worldwide, all of which are conducted in a paperless way, eliminating the need for users to go to prepare physical documents and reducing carbon emissions because of not having to visit a physical office.At the group level, Tiger Brokers will be expanding its Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) research team, combining its own technology and business advantages around ESG, the company hopes to use its own strength to help support sustainable issues such as carbon neutrality transition.Promoting Green Investment for the FutureAmidst growing awareness of ESG and understanding of the role investors play in supporting a shift towards sustainable development, Tiger Brokers aims to empower them to go beyond managing the ESG risks in their portfolios, to also create positive and measurable environmental impact from their investment activities.Today, retail investors can easily access and invest in over 60 sustainable funds that are on Tiger Broker Singapore's platform. This includes widely traded funds such as United Smart Sustainable Singapore Bond Fund and Fidelity Sustainable Asia Equity Fund. The company also aims to increase the number of sustainable funds substantially by 2022 by working closely with its partners."Retail investors have increasingly been wanting to do their part for planet earth and make a positive difference by investing in companies with higher Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings and business practices," said Mr Eng.Recent studies have shown that young investors (millennials and Gen X) are more likely to consider social responsibility alongside their other investment strategies. In a research conducted on ESG and Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), the majority of the financial advisors (69%) surveyed felt that SRI will play a larger role in their practices.According to financial data provider Morningstar, investors globally poured $142.5 billion into sustainable funds in the fourth quarter of last year, 12 per cent up on the previous quarter. ESG assets may hit $53 trillion by 2025, a third of global AUM based on estimation from Bloomberg.Tiger Brokers continues to support equity financing and serve the real economy. The company continues to support the development of green companies and help green companies raise funds and go public. In 2021, Tiger Brokers served as the underwriter for ATRenew Inc. and helped it get listed on the New York Stock Exchange. ATRenew Inc. became the "first ESG stock" in China, and its integrated low-carbon circular economy platform has been welcomed by many users in China."We are seeing a growing interest among investors investing in sustainable funds. Tiger Brokers Singapore will continue to evolve to become more lifestyle-centric, appealing to the young investors, and aligning with their interest in social responsibility and sustainability investing," added Mr Eng.The Tiger Trade mobile application is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.For media enquiries, please contact:PRecious Communications for Tiger Brokers (Singapore)Email: tiger@preciouscomms.comThis advertisement has not been reviewed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.Any views shared with Prospective Clients ("Prospects") are suggestive in nature and on a sample basis only.

Golf: Woods in final group at PNC Championship on highly anticipated return

MIAMI (REUTERS) - Tiger Woods will go out in the final group when he makes his highly anticipated return to competition at this week's PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida, according to a list of tee times published on Thursday (Dec 16). Woods, who sustained serious leg injuries in a February car crash, and his 12-year-old son Charlie will tee off at 12.18pm ET on Saturday (1.18am on Sunday, Singapore time) alongside good friend and world number six Justin Thomas, who is playing with his father Mike. The two-day event at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club is not a PGA Tour but rather a laid-back 36-hole tournament with a field comprised of 20 major champions and a member of their family. Woods, who has not competed since he and Charlie finished in a share of seventh place at the 2021 PNC Championship, announced last week that he would play in this year's edition. The 15-times major champion has said his game is nowhere near ready for the PGA Tour as he continues to work his way back from injuries suffered when he lost control of his car in Los Angeles in February. Woods, the greatest golfer of his generation whose tally of major titles trails only the 18 won by Jack Nicklaus, faced the possibility of having his leg amputated during a three-week hospital stay after the accident. The penultimate group will be comprised of women's world number one Nelly Korda, who is playing with her father, and twice major champion John Daly and his son. Among the others in the field are former Masters champions Gary Player, Nick Faldo, Vijay Singh, Tom Watson, Mark O'Meara and Bubba Watson. Swede Henrik Stenson, Zimbabwean Nick Price, Irishman Padraig Harrington and Americans Lee Trevino, Matt Kuchar, Jim Furyk, Stewart Cink, Tom Lehman, David Duval and Rich Beem head the other teams.

Golf: Woods unsure of return date, ‘would love’ to play British Open

NASSAU (REUTERS) - Tiger Woods does not know when he will return to the PGA Tour following a February car accident that left him in a wheelchair for two months, but said on Tuesday (Nov 30) he would love to compete in the British Open next July at St Andrews. Woods, who was close to having his leg amputated after he lost control of his car in Los Angeles, won two of his 15 career major titles at the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland and has not ruled out being in the field. "I would love to play at St Andrews, there's no doubt it. It's my favorite golf course in the world," Woods said at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas where he is host of this week's Hero World Challenge. "Physically, hopefully I can. I've got to get there first. Tournament's not going to go anywhere, but I need to get there." Woods walked into the news conference, his first since the car accident, without crutches. During the 40-minute session, he admitted that both his leg and back hurt just sitting there. Woods, who recently posted a video on social media showing him hitting a golf shot, acknowledged he has a long road ahead in the rehabilitation process, including countless reps, breaking up scar tissue and things he said "really hurt." When asked about how he feels with the expectations among his legion of supporters who feel he can still win a major, the 45-year-old Woods said he was flattered that people think that highly of his game. "For that to happen I have a long way to go," said Woods. "But I enjoy the challenge of getting in there and trying to push it to the next level. Sometimes it's two steps forward and one step back but you got to go through it. "Maybe one day it will be good enough where I can get out here and compete against these best players in the world again." Woods collected his most recent major at the 2019 Masters, a remarkable win that followed several surgeries to his back and knee and personal problems that convinced many the best golfer of his generation was done. Now Woods, who accepted that the "clock's ticking" on his storied career, said he has "no desire" to resume a full playing schedule but that he would prefer to ramp up his preparations for a few events. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tiger Woods (@tigerwoods) "There's no reason that I can't do that and feel ready," said Woods, who has not played competitive golf since the 2020 Masters last November. "I may not be tournament sharp in the sense I haven't played tournaments, but I think if you practice correctly and you do it correctly, that I've come off surgeries before, I've come off long layoffs and I've won or come close to winning before. "So I know the recipe for it, I've just got to get to a point where I feel comfortable enough where I can do that again."

Golf: Tiger Woods rules out ‘full-time’ return to golf

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Tiger Woods has ruled out making a full-time return to professional golf as he works his way back from career-threatening leg injuries. The 15-time major winner told Golf Digest in an interview published on Monday that although he is confident of eventually making a return to the sport, he expected he would only play select tournaments from now on. The 45-year-old former world number one suffered compound fractures in his right leg after a car he was driving in a Los Angeles suburb in February veered off the road and flipped several times. Before the accident, Woods was already playing a reduced schedule following multiple surgeries on his back and knee over the years. He told Golf Digest on Monday that his days as a full-time member of the PGA Tour were now effectively over, saying he now expected to "pick and choose" events in future. "I think something that is realistic is playing the Tour one day - never full time, ever again - but pick and choose," Woods said. "Pick and choose a few events a year and you play around that. "I think that's how I'm going to have to play it from now on. It's an unfortunate reality, but it's my reality. And I understand it, and I accept it." Woods generated buzz earlier this month after posting a video on Twitter of himself hitting balls, with the caption "Making progress." Woods, who completed a fairytale return from back fusion surgery to capture his 15th major title at the 2019 Masters, questioned whether he had the same drive to return to the pinnacle of his sport. "I don't have to compete and play against the best players in the world to have a great life," Woods said. "After my back fusion, I had to climb Mount Everest one more time. I had to do it, and I did. This time around, I don't think I'll have the body to climb Mount Everest and that's OK. "I can still participate in the game of golf. I can still, if my leg gets OK, I can still click off a tournament here or there. "But as far as climbing the mountain again and getting all the way to the top, I don't think that's a realistic expectation of me." Woods meanwhile revealed he had feared that he may have to have his leg amputated in the immediate aftermath of February's accident. "There was a point in time when, I wouldn't say it was 50/50, but it was damn near there if I was going to walk out of that hospital with one leg," said Woods, who believes he is less than halfway towards a return to fitness. "I have so far to go... I'm not even at the halfway point," he said. "I have so much more muscle development and nerve development that I have to do in my leg. At the same time, as you know, I've had five back operations. So I'm having to deal with that. So as the leg gets stronger, sometimes the back may act up. It's a tough road." Woods added he had been forced to pace his recovery. "Being patient and progressing at a pace that is aggressive but not over the top," he said. "Obviously when I get in the gym and I get flowing and the endorphins get going I want to go, go, go." Woods' interview with Golf Digest comes ahead of his first public appearance since his accident at this week's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, the 20-man tournament that raises funds for his foundation.

Golf: Tiger Woods posts video showing himself hitting balls

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Tiger Woods posted video of himself hitting balls on Sunday (Nov 21), delivering an upbeat update on his recovery from serious leg injuries suffered in a February car crash. "Making progress," Woods said in the caption to the video, his first official update on his recovery since April. The 45-year-old looks at ease, wearing shorts with a compression sock on his right leg, which was shattered when the 15-time major champion crashed his SUV in a Los Angeles suburb in February. The injuries to his lower leg and foot raised fears for the future of Woods's astonishing career. His friend and fellow US PGA Tour pro Justin Thomas said in a podcast recently that Woods was "going to try" to make a comeback. "I know that he's going to try," Thomas said on the No Laying Up podcast. "I don't see him ever playing if he can't play well. He doesn't strike me as a guy who's played at home and he's shooting a bunch of 75s and 76s and he's like, 'OK, I'm gonna give Augusta a try this year'. "That's not really gonna be him, at least from my understanding, what I know of him." Woods has returned from career-threatening injuries before. He had spinal fusion surgery in 2017 and after returning to competition in 2018 won his fifth Masters title, and 15th major crown, at the 2019 Masters. He was recovering from another operation on his back when he crashed this year. Woods had indicated in an Instagram post in April that his recovery was progressing slowly. In May, a Florida girl who is fighting cancer posted a picture of herself and the superstar after meeting him in a soccer park, the photo showing him on crutches but without a protective walking boot.

Golf: Tiger Woods crash due to ‘unsafe’ driving speed, at nearly double 70kmh limit

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Tiger Woods was driving at nearly double the 45mph (70kmh) speed limit when he crashed in California in February, the Los Angeles County’s sheriff said on Wednesday (April 7). Woods’ SUV was travelling at up to 87mph (140kmh) before it flew off the road and flipped several times during the accident in Ranchos Palos Verdes, leaving the 15-time major champion with a shattered right leg. “The primary causal factor for this traffic collision was driving at a speed unsafe for the road conditions and the inability to negotiate the curve of the roadway,” said Alex Villanueva. “Estimated speeds at the first area of impact were 84 to 87 miles per hour.” There were “no signs of impairment,” or evidence of any “distracted driving,” and Woods voluntarily allowed the results of the investigation to be made public, officials said. Woods, 45, may have inadvertently hit the car’s accelerator while attempting to press the brakes upon losing control, Captain James Powers said, although Woods himself does not recall the incident. Investigators did not check Woods phone or test his bloodwork because there was “no evidence of any impairment or intoxication,” Powers told a press conference. The golfer underwent hours of surgery to repair his shattered lower right leg and ankle, which included the insertion of a rod into his tibia and screws and pins to stabilise the joint. He is now recovering at his home in Florida. Woods, whose 82 US PGA titles are level with Sam Snead for the all-time win record, won the 2019 Masters for his first major title in 11 years to complete an astonishing comeback after multiple back surgeries. pic.twitter.com/uN8lsmDO1D— Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) April 7, 2021 Tiger Woods' car crash caused by speed: LA Sheriff More on this topic   Related Story Golf: Injured Tiger Woods doing well but keenly missed at Masters   Related Story Golf: Woods back home and recovering after car accident

Golf: McIlroy says Woods could soon return home from hospital

LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Rory McIlroy has been in touch with Tiger Woods and said that the 15-times major champion is doing better and could soon return home from hospital to begin recovery after sustaining serious leg injuries in a car crash last month. World number 11 McIlroy delivered the update on Woods while speaking in a video call with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that aired late on Tuesday (March 9). "I've spoken to him a little bit," McIlroy said from Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where he is the defending champion at this week's Players Championship. "He's doing better. I think all the guys have reached out to him. "Hopefully, if things go well over the next week or so, he might be able to get home and start recovery at home which would be great for him. See his kids, see his family. "But yeah, he's doing better and I just think all of us are wishing him a speedy recovery at this point," added the four-times major champion. Woods was taken to hospital in Los Angeles two weeks ago after losing control of the vehicle he was driving. The golfing great was negotiating a curved, downhill stretch of highway when his vehicle veered across the opposite lanes, collided with a road sign and rolled several times. McIlroy said Woods texted him ahead of the final round of last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando where he began the day within striking distance of the top of the leaderboard but struggled to a closing four-over-par 76. "He texted me some words of encouragement before the final round at Bay Hill on Sunday and things didn't quite go to plan and he was the first one to text me and be like 'what's going on here?'" said McIlroy. "So even from the hospital bed he's still giving me some heat."

Golf: Investigators probe ‘black box’ in car crashed by Tiger Woods

LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is examining data from the "black box" recorder of the car driven by Tiger Woods last week when the champion golfer lost control of the vehicle and seriously injured his leg and ankle in a one-car crash. Investigators would not say what they were looking for, but in the days after the crash have been trying to determine what caused Woods, 45, to lose control of the grey Genesis sport utility vehicle. "Traffic collision investigators are continuing the investigation into the cause of the collision involving Mr Woods," Deputy Trina Schrader said in a statement emailed to Reuters on Wednesday (March 3). "On March 1, 2021, they executed a search warrant to retrieve data from the vehicles 'black box'. At this time, there is no additional information regarding the recovered data." Woods was negotiating a curved, downhill stretch of highway that authorities have said was notoriously dangerous when the luxury SUV veered across the opposite lanes, collided with a road sign and rolled several times. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said last week that he did not anticipate filing any criminal charges in connection with the accident. Sheriff's deputies responding to the wreck found no indication that Woods had been under the influence of alcohol or drugs and said he was "lucid" following the accident. "This remains an accident and an accident is not a crime,"Villanueva said at a news briefing. "They do happen, unfortunately." Woods, celebrated as one of golf's all-time greats, had to be pried from the crumpled SUV through the shattered windshield.

His 15 major titles stand second only to the record 18 won by Jack Nicklaus.
