Work out what one SGX board lot costs now that lots fall to 10 shares above S$10 and 1 share above S$100 from 5 Oct 2026, with fees as a share of a small trade.
The minimum number of securities you can buy or sell in a single trade on SGX's ready market. Most counters have traded in lots of 100.
SGX cuts the standard board lot from 100 units to 10 for counters priced above S$10 and up to S$100, and to 1 unit for counters above S$100. The first round covers 11 stocks priced above S$10, all moving to 10-share lots.
It checks whether the last traded or closing price has stayed in the range for the previous six months, or is likely to. SGX reviews every quarter: the next cuts are announced in January 2027 and take effect in February 2027.
No. SGX says a reduced board lot will not revert, even if the price later falls.
Ordinary shares, REITs, business trusts, stapled securities, company warrants and depositary receipts. ETFs already trade in lots of 1 unit, and structured warrants and DLCs stay at 100.
Yes, in SGX's unit share market for odd lots. A counter whose lot falls to 1 unit is no longer traded there.
A trading fee of 0.0075% and a clearing fee of 0.0325% of the traded value, plus 9% GST. SGX sets no minimum or cap on them. Your broker's commission and any minimum are set by the broker.
Check the fee as a share of the trade. On a S$400 lot, a S$2 minimum commission plus SGX fees and GST takes about 0.59%, against about 0.13% on a S$4,000 lot at 0.08%. SGX also notes that commissions limit the benefit for small trades.
Yes, with US$10 and US$100 in place of S$10 and S$100.
