SMU set up its International Trading Institute in 2007, providing finance and commodities trading courses at the undergraduate level as well as for executives and professionals. SMU's launch of commodities trading courses has been part of Singapore's push to establish itself as a hub for commodities in an effort to rival that of Geneva. The courses add to the available pool of talent for the commodities trading groups, as well as for the companies which service the industry.
