Singapore stocks refer to stocks listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Investors or traders can purchase Singapore stocks off the SGX with a brokerage account. This brokerage account can be opened with any broker of choice.
Investors have the option to invest in financial markets of many different countries. With Singapore stocks, there is a sense of familiarity – they may be brands you shop at, bank with or use on a daily basis. Examples of such ‘homely’ stocks include DBS, CapitaLand, ComfortDelGro and Sheng Siong.

The SGX trading hours are 09:00am to 05:00pm with a mid-day break from 12:00pm to 01:00pm.
There are hundreds of stocks on the SGX for you to choose from. Besides stocks, you can also find fixed income products, derivatives and more on the SGX.
When buying a stock, base your decision on some of these factors:
If you’re looking to invest without having to open a brokerage account yourself, you can consider other investment vehicles such as robo-advisors. You can also start a regular savings plan with a financial institution.

Alternatively, you can also consider a custodian account, sometimes referred to as a pre-funded or cash upfront account. You can have multiple brokerage accounts linked to your CDP account.
