Lion Global to list Singapore physical gold ETF on SGX

Fund backed by gold vaulted locally.

Lion Global Investors said it will list the LionGlobal Singapore Physical Gold ETF on the Singapore Exchange on 26 March, its tenth exchange-traded fund listing in just over eight years.

The manager described the product as the first Singapore homegrown physical gold ETF on SGX and said it would be SGX’s first gold ETF in two decades.

The ETF aims to track the LBMA Gold Price AM as closely as possible and will invest in LBMA Good Delivery gold, with physical gold that is insured and vaulted in Singapore.

Lion Global said its LionGlobal Singapore Physical Gold Fund, launched on 1 December 2025, had grown to $502.2m (US$396.8m) in assets under management as at 27 February.

The initial offer period runs from 6 March to 20 March, with the ETF available in Singapore dollars and US dollars under the SGX tickers GLS and GLU, and issued at US$5 per unit with a minimum subscription of 10 units and a $2 application fee.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
