Beyond the STI:
Discover Singapore's Next 50 with Q50

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:

FactorWhat it captures
估值Whether a company is priced cheaply or expensively relative to its fundamentals.
GrowthThe trajectory of a company’s revenue and earnings expansion.
Earnings surpriseHow actual results compare against what the market expected.
Analyst sentimentShifts in professional analyst views and estimate revisions.
Earnings qualityHow reliable and sustainable a company’s reported earnings are.
Market factorsBroader market-driven signals that affect a stock’s performance.

Why it might belong in your portfolio

Built as a complement, not a replacement
🔴 Exposure beyond the STI

Access the 50 companies ranked just below Singapore’s largest 30 — a segment typically absent from STI-only portfolios.

🔴 Active, not a straight copy

A six-factor quantitative model selects and weights holdings, aiming to add value in a segment with wider dispersion between winners and losers.

🔴 Aligned with the EQDP push

Positioned to benefit from continued institutional flows into Singapore’s SMID-cap segment, while retaining SGX-listed liquidity.

🔴 A satellite to your core

At least 80% held in Next 50 constituents, with up to 20% flexible allocation across the broader SGX universe for higher-conviction opportunities.
