SGX Explores Single-Stock and Leveraged ETFs, Streamlines Dual Listing With Nasdaq

Singapore Exchange (SGX) chief executive Loh Boon Chye said the bourse is weighing an expansion of its exchange-traded fund range and could look at single-stock and leveraged ETF products if market demand supports them. Loh made the remarks in a recent interview, reported by Bloomberg and carried by Odaily. According to the figures cited, SGX currently lists 53 ETFs, with assets under management of more than S$21 billion — equivalent to roughly US$16.4 billion. Loh said the possible additions to the ETF lineup would hinge on whether market demand exists, without detailing a timeline or specific product structures. Alongside potential new products, SGX is strengthening cooperation with other markets. With Nasdaq, the exchange is working to simplify the eligibility and process for companies conducting dual listings in Singapore and the United States at the same time. With the Stock Exchange of Thailand, SGX is pursuing a depositary receipt collaboration. The update is based on Loh's interview remarks, as reported by Bloomberg.
