KUALA LUMPUR, The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has rolled out two new indexes as part of its efforts to enhance market offerings and stimulate stronger investor participation.
The exchange said the new benchmarks are aimed at meeting rising demand from both institutional and retail investors seeking diversified exposure to Asia’s fast-evolving markets.
The indexes will serve as performance trackers for specific market segments and are expected to support the development of new financial products, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other structured instruments.
In a statement, SGX said the move underscores its commitment to innovation and to providing investors with relevant tools for portfolio diversification.
“By introducing these new indexes, SGX is not only broadening its suite of investment benchmarks, but also creating opportunities for more trading activity and product development in the region,” the bourse noted.
Market analysts believe the launch could attract stronger participation from fund managers and product issuers, potentially deepening liquidity and reinforcing Singapore’s position as a regional financial hub. The two new indexes are now available for benchmarking and investment product creation.
