October 30, 2025

The exchange-traded fund (ETF) market on the Singapore Exchange hit a record high of $16.3 billion in assets under management (AUM) as at end-September.

This marks a 40 per cent year-on-year increase, SGX’s third quarter ETF Market Highlights report showed.

The market recorded robust net inflows of $736 million in the third quarter. Together with the $700 million recorded in the first half of 2025, this brought the net inflows in the year to date to $1.4 billion.

The growth was driven by strong demand across all four main asset classes: equities, fixed income, real estate investment trusts (Reits) and gold, noted the report, which was released on Oct 28.

Trading activity in the quarter surged, with the average daily turnover for ETFs climbing 68 per cent year on year to $31 million.

Fixed income and gold ETFs recorded the most significant jumps in trading, with increases of 204 per cent and 112 per cent, respectively.
