SGX ETF assets rise 37% to hit $18b in 2025

The increase was supported by full-year net inflows of $2.4b.

SGX-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw assets under management (AUM) rise 37% year-on-year (YoY) to a record $18b in 2025, according to a DBS Group Research report.

The increase was supported by full-year net inflows of $2.4b, whilst the ETF average daily turnover surged 69% YoY to $29m.

“A record-high Straits Times Index, improved securities trading value, and renewed investor interest served as positive tailwinds for the local ETF market,” DBS said.

Meanwhile, over 70% of total ETF AUM is invested in Asia-centric strategies, including exposure to Singapore and China.

Of the 50 ETFs listed on the exchange, 32 have an Asia focus.

The momentum has carried into 2026, with the launch of two new Asia-focused ETFs: the CSOP CSAM CSI 500 ETF (SUN) and the UOBAM Ping An FTSE ASEAN Dividend Index ETF (UPD).

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.
