OCBC Securities, Lion Global Investors to launch SG's first tech-focused ETF

It will give Singapore investors easy access to HKEX-listed tech-themed stocks.

Lion Global Investors and OCBC Securities will list Singapore’s first technology-focused exchange traded fund (ETF) on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on 10 December, to be available in both Singapore and US dollar denominations.

The ETF will track the Hang Seng TECH Index, which comprises the top 30 technology companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange “that have high business exposure to technology themes,” providing Singaporean investors with easy access to technology-themed stocks, OCBC Bank said in a media release.

“This ETF is designed to capture the growth of Chinese TECH-themed companies, including those “homecoming” companies seeking a secondary listing on Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) as well as companies looking to list on HKEX,” the bank added.

The new ETF will let investors buy smaller lot sizes of just 10 units at one time. It will also be “attractive” to newer investors, as they can start off with less than $20 per trade.

According to OCBC Bank, the ETF’s initial offering period will open on 23 November and close on 7 December with an issue price of each unit during the IOP being $1.34 (approximately HK$7.75 or US$1.00).

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
