Why FTSE China A50 Index?
Global investors and traders alike are turning their eyes toward China — and for good reason. As the world’s second-largest economy, China is not just growing; it is undergoing a powerful resurgence, driven by innovation, policy support, and expanding domestic consumption.
But for many, picking individual Chinese stocks feels complex and risky.
That’s where the China A50 Index comes in — a simplified, powerful gateway into China’s rise. The index consists of the 50 largest A-share stocks listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.
Now, through the UOBAM FTSE China A50 Index ETF (JK8) or SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures, you can capture China’s top 50 A-share companies in one move — and stand a chance to win a S$1,000 Trip.com travel voucher* when you trade!
How to Choose?
ETFs
If you’re looking to build a strong foundation for your portfolio, the UOBAM FTSE China A50 Index ETF (JK8) offers a straightforward way to capture China’s growth.
Why ETFs?
- Long-term core exposure

One trade gives you access to a basket of China’s market leaders, all in one SGX-listed ETF.
Ideal for:
Investors looking for steady growth, portfolio diversification, and a hands-off approach to tapping into China’s rise.
Futures
If you prefer an active approach and thrive on market movements, SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures allows you to express your tactical view on China’s market direction — whether bullish or bearish.
Why Futures?
- Leverage your capital
Gain full market exposure with a smaller upfront margin, allowing you to deploy your capital more efficiently. - Opportunity to trade short-term market moves
