    ASSET manager BlackRock teamed up with the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and MSCI on Thursday (Sep 14) to list a US$426 million exchange traded fund (ETF).

    This is the largest equity amount for an ETF launched in the city-state.

    The fund tracks the MSCI Asia ex-Japan Climate Action Index, which is part of the suite of MSCI Climate Action Indexes launched at the end of last year.
