- Bringing developed, emerging and onshore China markets into one transparent, rules-based benchmark suite
SGX Indices today announced the launch of the CSI SGX Asia 100 Indices, expanding its suite of Asia-focused benchmarks that offer diversified exposure to the region’s largest companies. This launch marks the second set of co-branded indices developed under SGX Indices’ collaboration with China Securities Index Co., Ltd. (CSI), the index provider of Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE).
The new indices track the performance of 100 of the largest companies across Asian markets such as China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. The CSI SGX Asia 100 Index offers broad-based exposure to Asia’s largest listed corporates, while the CSI SGX Asia 100 Dividend Focus Index focuses on dividend-paying companies.
These indices are constructed from four underlying sub-indices – iEdge Asia Select 50 Index, iEdge Asia Select 50 Dividend Focus Index, CSI Connect China 50 Index and CSI Connect China 50 Dividend Focus Index – combining developed and emerging Asia, including access to China’s onshore equities market.
Ng Yao Loong, Head of Equities, SGX Group, said, “Global investors continue to seek differentiated exposure to Asia. The new indices bring the region’s major economies into one transparent, rules-based framework, with clear criteria and methodology. Together with CSI, we are strengthening the quality and credibility of Asia-focused benchmarks to support long-term participation in Asia’s growth.”
The cooperation between SGX Indices and CSI began in 2024 with the introduction of the CSI SGX Emerging Asia Technology Index, which combines iEdge Southeast Asia+ TECH Index and Top Tech Index to capture the region’s fast-growing tech sector, delivering an annualised price return of 28%[1] since January 2024.
