Yangzijiang Maritime, Centurion Accommodation REIT (CAREIT), and Golden Agri-Resources are set to join the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index on 22 December. These additions could see the trio rank among the top 15 constituents based on indicative weights as of 28 November. The iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index comprises 50 of the largest capitalised and most actively traded Mainboard-listed stocks, excluding Straits Times Index constituents.
The inclusion of these companies follows a quarterly rebalance of the index, which is based on constituent screenings conducted on 28 November. The combined weightage of the three entrants is expected to be around 9%, a significant increase from the current 1% weightage of Samudera Shipping Line, Nanofilm Technologies International, and Aztech Global, which will move to the Next 50 Index Reserve List.
The index has shown a strong correlation with the FTSE ST Mid & Small Cap Index in Q4 2025, with an r-squared of 0.9, and has generated a 1.5% total return to 8 December. Stocks such as PropNex and China Sunsine Chemical have seen a notable increase in trading activity in the second half of 2025, averaging 59% total returns.
The rebalance results will take effect with the market open on 22 December, and the detailed weightages may adjust based on relative price performances and corporate actions of the constituents. The next rebalance is scheduled for March, which could further alter the index’s composition.
