Xtrackers ETFs: Four Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs are listed on SGX, offering access to US and global equity markets through SGD trading during Singapore market hours.

Reduced board lots: On 5 October 2026, SGX implemented smaller board lots for the first batch of 11 listed securities, reducing the standard lot size from 100 shares to 10 shares.

1. Xtrackers ETFs Listed on SGX

Key features:

SGD trading: Trade in Singapore dollars without converting SGD to USD for each transaction, potentially reducing FX conversion costs.

Local trading hours: Trade during Singapore market hours.

Irish-domiciled UCITS structure — a clear tax advantage:

Eligible US-source dividends generally benefit from a 15% US withholding tax rate at fund level, half of the 30% rate typically applied to equivalent US-domiciled ETFs listed on US exchanges, subject to applicable conditions.Accumulating share class: Fund income is reinvested rather than distributed.

Potentially reduced US estate tax exposure: Non-US fund domicile may help mitigate exposure compared with directly holding US-domiciled ETFs.

Competitive TERs: Annual expense ratios range from 0.03% to 0.20%.

2. SGX Reduced Board Lot Size

The following 11 securities now trade in board lots of 10 shares.

What this means for investors: Smaller board lots lower the minimum capital required and allow greater flexibility in portfolio allocation. SGX will review eligible securities quarterly to determine whether further reductions are warranted.
