SGX to cut board lot size for securities above $10

The change reduces the minimum holding from 100 to 10 units.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) plans to reduce the board lot size for securities priced above $10 from 100 units to 10 units.

The change aims to minimise investment requirements, broadening investor participation and boosting trading activity, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

The move follows MAS’s completion of the Equities Market Review Group’s assessment and the release of its final report.

Data from this year’s third quarter shows average daily turnover rose 16% year-on-year to $1.53b, marking the highest level since the first quarter of 2021. Trading activity in small- and mid-cap stocks increased, whilst initial public offerings have raised over $2b so far this year.

In line with this, SGX and Nasdaq have proposed a dual listing bridge, allowing companies to simultaneously access capital and liquidity in North America and Asia.

The initiative targets companies with a market capitalisation of $2b and above, an Asian nexus, and global expansion plans.

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.
