On 5th September 2025, Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) has proposed changes to streamline the requirements of designated market-makers (DMMs) for exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
SGX RegCo intends to remove administrative requirements for notification and announcement when ETF DMMs cease, or resume, bid and offer quotations. This will bring SGX practices in line with those of other global markets.
The proposals result from a review of the regulatory framework around the trading of ETFs to identify areas that may impact the listing and trading of ETFs. This follows the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) enhancement in July 2025 of the Grant for Equities Market Singapore Scheme for ETFs to facilitate more ETF listings.
ETF DMMs provide bid and offer prices during more than 95% of the stock market hours each business day. The prices they provide are visible to investors.
