SGX Stock Exchange today welcomed the listing of four Xtrackers UCITS ETFs, providing investors with access to some of the world’s most widely followed equity benchmarks.
Traded in Singapore dollars and eligible under the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS), the ETFs give Singapore investors more ways to add global market exposure into their portfolios.
The four ETFs cover broad US and developed-market equities, as well as strategies offering exposure to leading technology and non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and an equal-weighted approach to U.S. large-cap stocks:
The ETFs are listed on SGX under the International Central Securities Depository (ICSD) model, allowing units to move across participating European exchanges. This fungibility links the SGX-listed trading lines to the funds’ broader global asset pools, enabling investors to access these established ETFs through the Singapore market.
Ng Yao Loong, Head of Global Financial Markets, SGX Group, said:
“Investing globally should not mean having to look offshore. With these four low-cost ETFs trading in Singapore dollars on SGX, Singapore investors can access established U.S. and developed market strategies through the home exchange they are already familiar with. This is how we want to broaden choices on SGX: by bringing more of the global opportunities closer to investors in our market.”
Sophia Kim, Head of Xtrackers Sales APAC, DWS, said:
“We are delighted to bring these four Xtrackers ETFs to SGX, providing Singapore investors with locally traded access to a range of established U.S. and global equity exposures. Backed by more than two decades of index investing experience, Xtrackers, DWS’s global platform for ETFs and ETCs, manages EUR 455 billion globally. The strong investor response during the initial offering period is an encouraging indication of demand for efficient and accessible ways to participate in global markets. We thank SGX, MAS and Moomoo for their support in bringing this launch to the Singapore market.”
Jeyson Ng, CEO, Moomoo Singapore, said:
“We are pleased to support the SGX listing of these Xtrackers UCITS ETFs, which expands Singapore investors’ access to core global-market exposures in a locally traded format. As the exclusive distributor for these UCITS ETFs in the pre-listing period, we are encouraged by the strong interest seen from Moomoo Singapore’s investing community which reflects growing demand for diversified, long-term global investment solutions. We thank SGX and Xtrackers for their close partnership and shared commitment to broadening product choice, strengthening market participation and advancing Singapore’s position as a leading investment hub.”
Following these listings, SGX offers 59 ETFs with combined assets under management of approximately S$21 billion.
