Market Chatter: Singapore Exchange to Launch Hong Kong SDRs

MT Newswires11-04

The Singapore Exchange has outlined plans to launch Singapore Depository Receipts of five Hong Kong-listed mega-cap companies, according to a report by The Business Times on Oct. 30.

Through this initiative, SGX aims to create more opportunities to diversify the portfolio of Alibaba (HKG:9988), Tencent (HKG:0700), BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594), HSBC (HKG:0005) and Bank of China (HKG:3988, SHA:601988), according to the report.

Through these SDRs, investors can make lower minimum investment in Singapore dollars, ranging from 2% to 20% of the underlying stocks, the report said.

The SDRs can be traded through local brokers, effectively saving costs on overseas trading, foreign exchange and management fees, according to the report.
