JUDGING from the headline performance of the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index (N50), the middle segment of the local market seems to have lost some of its momentum.
The index delivered a total return of 3.6 per cent from Jan 1 to Jun 12, Bloomberg data shows. This is significantly weaker than the 10.5 per cent return chalked up by the Straits Times Index (STI).
Back in 2025, the N50 returned 26.7 per cent, which was not far behind the STI’s total return of 28.8 per cent.
