SGX unveils new thematic equity indices

It’s focused on 5 key sectors.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) announced today the launch of SGX Thematic Indices, a suite of equity indices under SGX Index Edge, its index business.

SGX Thematic Indices is based on sectors that have traditionally featured prominently in the SGX securities market, and contributed significantly to Singapore economy. Namely, these are the Real Estate, Healthcare, Minerals, Oil & Gas, and Maritime & Offshore sectors.

The 11 new indices will help to identify the underlying securities and offer insights into both risk and performance associated with the sectors. Further, the indices will improve the comprehension of investment opportunities and key drivers of returns in these markets.

Targeting the burgeoning exchange traded fund (ETF) market in Asia, the indices will also provide benchmarks linked to key themes in Singapore and encourage the creation of ETF products that are invested in Singapore stocks.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
