SGX Launches iEdge Singapore Next 50 Indices to Broaden Market Visibility

Singapore Exchange (SGX) has introduced the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Indices, designed to capture the performance of the next tier of large and liquid mainboard companies beyond the Straits Times Index (STI). The indices employ a transparent, rules-based methodology, factoring in free-float, market capitalization, and liquidity to identify tradable, sizeable firms.

Two variants cater to diverse investor needs: one weighted by market capitalization, the other by liquidity. These benchmarks aim to enhance visibility and participation in Singapore's expanding equity market, excluding the top 30 companies by market cap.

Constituents have shown robust liquidity and growing investor interest in 2025, reflecting demand for tailored indices that track emerging market leaders. The launch underscores SGX's efforts to provide tools for navigating Singapore's evolving equity landscape.
