SGX lists first Saudi Arabia-focused bond ETF

With this listing, SGX now hosts 49 ETFs.

SGX Securities has listed its first Saudi Arabia-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF), the SPDR J.P. Morgan Saudi Arabia Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF.

The fund, managed by State Street Investment Management, tracks the J.P. Morgan Saudi Arabia Aggregate Bond Index, which covers liquid US dollar- and Saudi riyal-denominated government and quasi-government bonds, including Sukuk.

The ETF was initially launched on Deutsche Börse in December 2024 and later listed in London and Milan before making its Singapore debut.

The launch comes amidst rising interest in the GCC bond markets, which have grown to more than $1.29t (US$1t) in size as of March 2025.

With this listing, SGX now hosts 49 ETFs with combined assets under management of more than $15b.

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.
