💬 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.
I was alwY wanted to buy but few years back it was 1000 script perblot later sgx change to 100 per lot.
when 100/ LL ot become even stocks like DBS ,jardine CNC ,hawpar were expensive to buy
then DBS was trading at$14++ around per stock that I did not have enough to buy the stock
For traders, this is positive news. A smaller board lot means less capital is required to buy a position, making it easier for younger investors and those with smaller portfolios to participate. It may also improve liquidity as more retail investors can afford to trade.
However, for long-term dividend investors like myself, the impact is relatively limited.
I do not buy shares because they are cheaper to trade. I buy businesses that generate consistent cash flow, reward shareholders with sustainable dividends, and have proven they can grow through different economic cycles.

from 1000/lot to 100/lot to 10 script to trade is an awesome efforts from sgx for traders keep it up sgx thans
The banking trio combines resilient earnings, strong dividends and long-term exposure to Singapore's economy, but a 100-share lot can cost several thousand dollars, making it less accessible for smaller investors.
SGX is another quality compounder with recurring revenue, healthy cash generation and consistent dividends, though its board lot also requires a meaningful upfront investment.
Haw Par would be my wildcard. It is a well-managed business with valuable investments and a long track record, but its high share price often puts off first-time buyers.
Thankfully, fractional investing is becoming more common, so investors can start building positions without waiting until they can afford a full 100-share lot.
I can DCA much more on expensive stock 😆😆😆
