Tiger Brokers Singapore, a leading online brokerage firm regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, is proud to announce the launch of the Tiger L.E.A.P. (Learn, Experience, Achieve, Perform) Programme. Open to fresh graduates and mid-career switchers, this industry-first six-month training initiative aims to nurture and empower aspiring remisiers—dubbed in-house as Tiger Investment Managers—by equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in Singapore’s financial markets and contribute to the revitalisation of Singapore’s stock market.
Supporting the Evolving Role of Remisiers

This complements the age-old advisory role of remisiers in providing clients with bespoke and personalised insights through robust relationship management, marrying technology with the human touch.

- Comprehensive Training: Participants will rotate through multiple departments, gaining expertise in trading, portfolio management and client engagement under the guidance of seasoned professionals.
