💬 Editor’s Take:
This is a genuine win for retail investors. A stock like $DBS(D05.SI)$ at ~S$40+ means you previously needed S$4,000+ just for one lot. Now? ~S$400 gets you in.
That opens the door for dollar-cost averaging, portfolio diversification, and younger investors building positions in Singapore blue chips.

A 10-share board lot fits my investing style much better. I can split my purchases into smaller batches and DCA monthly instead of committing a large amount at one price. It also gives me more flexibility to manage my cash flow and take advantage of market pullbacks without waiting to accumulate a large sum.
This is a great move for retail investors. Lower entry barriers make it easier to build long-term positions in Singapore's quality blue chips. I hope SGX eventually expands this initiative to more high-priced stocks in the future. I'll definitely be watching $DBS(D05.SI)$ , $ocbc bank(O39.SI)$ and $UOB(U11.SI)$ closely and adding on weakness over time.

When the gates open on October 5, I am not chasing hype. I am choosing legacy.
Since I already hold the 3 Singapore banking lions, I will choose $Great Eastern(G07.SI)$ and $Haw Par(H02.SI)$
Great Eastern is not just an insurer. It is a century old institution woven into Singapore's fabric. It is the largest & oldest life insurance company in Singapore. Today it is a market leader with more than 15 million policy holders & one of the highest financial strength ratings in Asia.
Haw Par is the underated diversified gem. It is healthcare. It owns premium grade A commercial buildings in Singapore. It is Tiger Balm. It also owns a strategic stake in $UOB(U11.SI)$ .
Both companies also pay great dividends while they grow.

Fundamental Powerhouse: As Southeast Asia’s largest bank, it provides a highly resilient balance sheet and diversified revenue from wealth management.
Quarterly Income: It offers reliable, tax-free quarterly dividends, which is ideal for compounding passive income.
Strong Backing: Major ownership by Temasek Holdings ensures premier corporate governance and structural stability.
