As MoneySense, a Singapore Government Agency Website, explains, shares, bonds, unit trusts, ETFs, and REITs are among the options available. Before committing any money, it helps to get a clear-eyed overview of the major investment products offered in Singapore.
How Different Asset Classes Are Listed
Shares, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are asset classes that are listed on the exchange. Examples of such listings include Initial Public Offers (IPOs) for ordinary shares and tenders for government bonds. Additionally, Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) are a type of government bond.
