Singapore bourse boasts region's highest dividend yields

The FTSE Singapore Index has a yield of 3.4%.

The FTSE Singapore Index has the highest dividend yields across the region's 11 indices, the SGX revealed.

The Index has a dividend yield of 3.4%, well above the average yield of 2.3%.

The FTSE Singapore is made up of both large cap and mid cap stocks. Among these stocks, most are STI stocks and some are the largest stocks of the FTSE ST Mid Cap Index. The index also does not include secondary listings.

The FTSE Singapore Index is a broader and much less known index than the Straits Times Index (STI), and a part of a global equity index series used for global comparisons.

Due to the global equity index methodology, the FTSE Singapore Index does not include Jardine Matheson Holdings, Jardine Strategic Holdings and Hongkong Land.

For a country’s index to be constructed and included in the FTSE Global Equity Index Series, it must have a minimum of three companies which pass all the eligibility criteria.

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.
