Beyond the STI:
Discover Singapore's Next 50 with Q50
这 CGS Fullgoal Singapore Next 50 Active ETF (SGX: Q50) is the first ETF to track Singapore’s Next 50 — the mid- and small-cap companies ranked just below the STI 30 — and the first actively managed Singapore-equity ETF to list on SGX. Here’s what it holds, how it’s run, and why it’s worth watching.
What is the Q50?
Beyond the 30 names everyone already owns
The Straits Times Index (STI) covers Singapore’s largest 30 listed companies — the same 30 names most local investors already hold through an STI ETF. Q50 targets the tier directly below: the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index, a segment that’s typically under-owned and under-researched by comparison.
It’s structured with a minimum of 80% held in Next 50 constituents, with up to 20% flexible allocation across the broader SGX universe for higher-conviction opportunities identified by the strategy.
The strategy
Why active management matters here
The Next 50 has much wider dispersion between winners and losers than the STI — a segment where stock selection genuinely moves outcomes, rather than one where simply owning the index does most of the work. Q50 responds to that with a six-factor quantitative model:
| Factor | What it captures |
|---|---|
| 估值 | Whether a company is priced cheaply or expensively relative to its fundamentals. |
| Growth | The trajectory of a company’s revenue and earnings expansion. |
| Earnings surprise | How actual results compare against what the market expected. |
| Analyst sentiment | Shifts in professional analyst views and estimate revisions. |
| Earnings quality | How reliable and sustainable a company’s reported earnings are. |
| Market factors | Broader market-driven signals that affect a stock’s performance. |
Why it might belong in your portfolio

🔴 Aligned with the EQDP push
