Singapore Stock Exchange
Singapore plays an indispensable role in the financial markets of the Asia pacific region. Singapore Stock Exchange (or SGX), the main local market operator, provides different types of securities and derivatives trading and transaction services.
The Stock Exchange of Singapore (SES) merged with the Singapore International Monetary Exchange (SIMEX) in December 1999, to form SGX. SGX was listed on the local stock market in November 2000 and it was the second listed exchange in the Asia pacific region at that time.
Singapore economy is highly trade dependent, there is diversity of international assets and revenue for Singapore stocks. In addition, high dividend yield is one of its key features, its yield in 2015Q3 was 4.3%, much higher than Asia region's average 2.5%, Hong Kong's HSI and Taiwan's TAIEX of 4.1%. Finally, the volatility of Singapore's stock market is relatively low.
Markets
SGX securities are trading in three markets: Main Board, Catalist and Global Quote. The average daily turnover in the first nine months of 2015 was about SGD 1.2 Bn*.
Main Board is the major market, famous local companies are CapitaLand (CPL.SG) and DBS Group (DBS.SG). Catalist, similar to the Hong Kong GEM in nature, was established in December 7, 2007, mainly based on the UK AIM market model, specifically for local and international growth companies. SGX-authorized sponsors directly supervise Catalist counters under SGX rules, examples of the counters are Duty Free International Limited (DFIL.SG) and Renewable Energy Asia Group Ltd (REA.SG). Global Quote is a market launched by SGX in collaboration with NASDAQ OMX Group on October 22, 2010. It enables investors to trade ADRs of Asian companies during Asian trading hours, such as Ctrip, China Mobile and Honda. Its turnover, however, remains low level.
SGX invites foreign companies to list their companies for primary or secondary listing. There are a few foreign companies in primary listing, such as Xyec Holding Co, Ltd (XYE.SG) - a Japanese in engineering and IT company and Mermaid Maritime PLC (MMM.SG) - a Thailand offshore oil and gas services company. As of October 8, 2015, there are 35 companies with secondary listing in SGX, of which includes some household-name corporations, such as Dairy Farm (DFH.SG) and Jardine Strategic (JSH.SG) on the London Stock Exchange, Nomura Holdings on Tokyo Stock Exchange, Shangri-La (Asia) (SAL.SG) and Yuexiu Property (YXP.SG) on Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. At the end of September 2015, the capitalization of counters are SGD 587 Bn and SGD 288.7 Bn, respectively, for primary and secondary listing.

ETF, REIT & Business Trust
Exchange-Traded Fund “ETF”, Real Estate Investment Trust “REIT” and Business Trust “BT” are the SGX’s popular securities among international investors. What is ETF? Needless to say more. The number of ETFs listed on SGX is about 90, 3 counters with relatively high turnover are iShare MSCI India Index (SGD-denominated: ISMIA.SG, USD-denominated: ISMI.SG), SPDR Strait Times Index (STIS.SG) and iShare Asia High Yield bond (SGD-denominated: ISAHYA.SG, USD-denominated: ISAHY.SG). For detail on ETFs, please Click Here to SGX’s ETF pages.
Real Estate Investment Trust "REIT" is a collective investment schemes, primarily investing in income-generating real estate properties in Singapore and/or overseas, such as shopping malls, offices, hotels and service apartments, with an aim to provide investors with stable income. All or the majority of a REIT's net income after tax is paid to investors in the form of dividends at regular intervals. As pursuant to prevailing regulations of Monetary Authority of Singapore, a REIT may also invest in listed or unlisted debt securities and listed shares of or issued by local or foreign non-property companies, securities issued on behalf of the Singapore government or foreign governments or by a supranational agency or by a Singapore statutory board, or cash and cash equivalent items. The majority of a REIT’s assets must, however, be made up of real estate or real estate-related assets. Moreover, investors are reminded that a REIT's available distribution amount is adjusted by profit / loss realized in revaluation or sale of its real estate projects. In addition to REIT, there are two alternatives in real-estate related vehicles - Property Trusts and Stapled Trusts, the later is a hybrid of REIT and Property Trust. For detail and the list of REITs, please Click Here to SGX's REIT pages. 3 Popular REITs with relatively huge turnover are ASCENDAS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (ARE.SG), CAPITALAND MALL TRUST (CTM.SG), CAPITALAND COMMERCIAL TRUST (CCT.SG).
Business Trust "BT" fits for corporations with stable business and growing cash flow, such as infrastructure, utility, shipping and transportation vehicle leasing. The advantage is that investors have direct exposure to cash flow-generating assets, securitizing huge-capital assets into liquid and affordable units. Business Trust has an attribute of generally higher payout ratio and complies with Trustee-Manager accord while considering acquisition of assets. Trustee and manager takes active approach to increase rate of return through business expansion and asset acquisition, their incentives generally are aligned with the interest of unit holders. The key risk of investing in BT is on its asset holding and investment focus, for example, future distribution does not match expectation and unstable condition of its business geography. Three BTs with relatively good turnover are HUTCHISON PORT HOLDINGS TRUST (SGD-denominated: HPHSG.SG, USD-denominated: HPH.SG)、KEPPEL INFRASTRUCTURE TRUST (CSIT.SG)、ASIAN PAY TELEVISION TRUST (APTT.SG).
