Historic Trading Day for SGX Semiconductor ETF
The SGX-listed semiconductor ETF shattered its previous trading volume record, with S$520 million worth of units changing hands in a single session. The previous record of S$380 million was set just last month, indicating rapidly accelerating investor interest.
Market participants attribute the surge to increased allocation toward semiconductor assets by both institutional and retail investors, driven by the global AI boom and renewed focus on chip supply chain resilience.
The ETF, which tracks a basket of SGX-listed semiconductor and technology companies, has seen its assets under management grow 180% year-over-year.
