Trading HK SDRs offers several advantages over buying HK stocks directly.* There is no minimum lot size, allowing for greater flexibility. You can manage all positions on a single platform, trading alongside other SGX-listed HK DLCs, structured warrants, and ETFs, all in SGD during SGX trading days and hours. Additionally, SDRs are custodised with CDP, with dividends paid in SGD. You’ll benefit from lower brokerage fees, no FX charges, and no custody fees for direct CDP accounts. Finally, SDR trading allows you to trade ahead of the Hong Kong market opening, with overlapping hours for US pre-market trading.
