Singapore Exchange announced changes to the iEdge Singapore Next 50 indices after its quarterly review on June 8, 2026 [1, 2]. The adjustments took effect on June 22, 2026, with the addition of AEM, Top Glove, UI Boustead REIT, and PC Partner Group [1, 2]. These companies replaced SingPost, Digital Core Reit, Wee Hur Holdings, and China Sunsine Chemical Holdings in the index composition [1, 2].
The iEdge Singapore Next 50 Liquidity Weighted Index returned 12.3% from January to May 2026, outperforming the Straits Times Index, which returned 10.8% over the same period [1, 2]. The updated index now has a heavier weighting in the technology sector, which rose to about 26.2% from the previous 16.6% before the review [1, 2]. This increase was driven by the inclusion of tech companies such as AEM, UMS Integration, Frencken Group, and iFAST Corporation [1, 2].
The composition change reflects a stronger representation of technology firms within the next 50 largest listed companies beyond the Straits Times Index [1, 2]. The review criteria focus on liquidity and market capitalization, leading to the reshuffle of companies to maintain index relevance.
The next scheduled review of the iEdge Singapore Next 50 indices is set for September 2026 [1, 2]. Investors and market participants will be watching for further shifts as Singapore’s tech sector continues to expand within the broader equity market.
