The Straits Times Index (STI) has reached record highs in 2026, reflecting the strong performance of the 30 largest and most liquid companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). However, it’s worth looking beyond the STI to the “next layer” of Singapore-listed companies. The iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index reflects a broader selection of the 50 highest market-value companies outside the STI, providing exposure to a range of industries including consumer, healthcare, industrial, and property.
The current 50 constituents maintain a combined market capitalisation of more than $100 billion and an average daily turnover of more than $300 million in 2026 through to 10 September. The recently launched CGS Fullgoal Singapore Next 50 Active ETF (SGX: Q50) maintains primary exposure to the index.
