With retail investors showing a greater appetite for ETF investing since 2019, it is a strategic move by Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) to embark on the listing of Active ETFs in 2024 to harness the growth potential of this thriving ETF environment.
Teo added that AI and Japan are themes that investors have shown strong interest in recent times. “AI is a capability that LGI has been developing since 2019. The Japanese market is supported by several tailwinds such as corporate governance reforms and strong foreign investor interest, which we expect to continue to drive momentum. We are therefore excited to offer clients a new strategy that can help them access Japan via an actively managed ETF. We are happy that this collaboration will allow Singapore investors to benefit from NAM’s deep experience and knowledge of Japan and AI.”
The Initial Offering Period (IOP) of the Lion-Nomura Japan Active ETF (Powered by AI) is from January 5 to 25, 2024. It lists on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on January 31, 2024 and will be available in both Singapore and US dollar denominations under the SGX code JJJ and JUS respectively. The issue price of each unit during the IOP is SGD 1.00. During the IOP, investors may subscribe to the ETF through OCBC ATMs/internet banking/mobile banking and participating dealers including iFAST Financial Pte. Ltd., Moomoo Financial Singapore Pte. Ltd., OCBC Securities Pte. Ltd., Phillip Securities Pte. Ltd. and Tiger Brokers (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.

Any such dividend distributions will reduce the available capital for reinvestment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the ETF.

The ETF may, where permitted by the Prospectus, invest in financial derivative instruments for hedging or for the purposes of efficient portfolio management. The ETF’s net asset value may have higher volatility as a result of its narrower investment focus on a limited geographical market, when compared to funds investing in global or wider regional markets. LGI, its related companies, their directors and/or employees may hold units of the ETF and be engaged in purchasing or selling units of the ETF for themselves or their clients.
The units of the ETF are listed and traded on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”), and may be traded at prices different from its net asset value, suspended from trading, or delisted. Such listing does not guarantee a liquid market for the units. You cannot purchase or redeem units in the ETF directly with the manager of the ETF, but you may, subject to specific conditions, do so on the SGX-ST or through the PDs.
