Dear SRS Members,

SGX will be expanding their suite of HK SDRs to include 3 new names with the launch of Meituan, Xiaomi and Ping An Insurance, on Wednesday, 5 March 2025!
 
The suite of 8 HK SDR provides thematic exposures to evolving global trends in AI transformation, EV transition, e-commerce, and financials, allowing investors to flexibly diversify their portfolios. HK SDR differentiates from traditional route of access with key benefits being:
 

1. Bite-sized investment sums – participate in the rallying China tech stocks in small investment amounts. For example, investing in BYD would only require minimum sum of S$700 via SDR compared to S$34,000 via HK shares.
2. Pre and post market access – manage positions ahead and after HK market hours during the 9-930am and 4-5pm windows. For example, on 21Feb25 morning, post Alibaba results announcement during US trading hours, investors took positions in SDR to capture price action at HK open. Trades done during 9-930am accounted for >8% of the day’s volumes.
3. Trade in Singapore dollars on SGX – SDR are available on SGX via local brokers and are custodised with CDP with dividends paid in Singapore dollars.

 
SDR trades in board lot size of 100 units, and are fungible with the underlying shares listed in Hong Kong. SDR are traded on all Singapore trading days, including on days where the Hong Kong market is closed. You may find more information on SDR and the underlying stocks in the enclosed deck or visit https://www.sgx.com/campaign/sdr.
