SGX launches iEdge Singapore Next 50 Indices to track emerging stocks

Available in market-cap weighted and liquidity weighted formats.

SGX Indices has introduced the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Indices, a new benchmark tracking the next tier of large and liquid companies outside the Straits Times Index (STI).

The indices use a rules-based approach based on free-float, market capitalisation and liquidity, and come in two versions: market-cap weighted and liquidity weighted.

They highlight the performance of the next 50 mainboard companies below the STI’s top 30, giving investors exposure to rising mid-cap stocks.

From January to August this year, institutional investors net purchased $425m in small- and mid-cap stocks, whilst daily turnover surged 50% year-on-year to $163m, driven largely by retail investors.

SGX expects this positive momentum to fuel demand for new market-tracking tools that capture evolving investment opportunities.

The new indices add to SGX’s growing suite of market and thematic benchmarks, supporting investor demand for tools that capture Singapore’s expanding stock market opportunities.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
