Sceptics of the Q50 are asking the right questions about Singapore’s newest ETF
What should investors make of its Reits concentration, fee structure and lack of track record?
[SINGAPORE] The Republic’s newest exchange-traded fund, the CGS Fullgoal Singapore Next 50 Active ETF (Q50), will debut on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Thursday (Sep 3).
While it has attracted interest, a number of investors remain seated on the sidelines, undecided on whether it is a worthwhile addition to their portfolios.
We have heard the concerns: Is the property exposure excessive? Is the fee too high? How should investors judge a fund with no track record? And does Singapore need another equity ETF?
