OCBC Securities marks fourth ETF launch in Singapore

The ETF guarantees a minimum 5% annual dividend for the first 2 years.

OCBC Securities and Lion Global Investors (LGI) will list Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

With its fourth listing, OCBC Securities became the brokerage with the highest number of ETFs co-launched in Singapore.

The ETF targets investors seeking steady dividend yields. With APAC banks outperforming others by distributing over $175.9b (US$130b) in dividends in two years, the ETF guarantees a minimum 5% annual dividend from the issue price for the first two years, paid quarterly.

The ETF also offers significant capital gain potential, with APAC financial firms poised for growth, given that the region accounts for over 40% of the projected global wealth of over $676t (US500t) by 2024. 

The Initial Offer Period (IOP) for the Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF starts on 11 April and will end on 3 May. 

OCBC will list the ETF on 13 May, available in Singapore dollar (SGD) and United States dollar (USD) denominations under the SGX tickets YLD and YLU, respectively.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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