Frequent Asked Questions

Singapore Depository Receipts (SDR) are instruments issued by the depository which represents beneficial interest of an underlying security listed on an overseas exchange. SDR facilitate investments into overseas listed companies without having to deal with the complexities of cross-border trading and settlement.

SDR provide investors beneficial interest in an overseas listed security without having to purchase the security directly on an overseas exchange. SDR is issued by the depository and each SDR is represented by a specific number of underlying securities, held with a custodian in the home market on trust for SDR holders.

Currently, there are SDR issued on Non-Voting Depository Receipts (NVDR) on shares of a company listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). An NVDR is an instrument issued by the Thai NVDR Co., Ltd (Thai NVDR), a subsidiary of the SET, to facilitate trading by reducing barriers of foreign ownership limits. Generally, NVDR share the same prices and benefits as its underlying shares but do not carry any voting rights.

SDR are classified as Excluded Investment Products (“EIP”) and are generally for investors who expect low to moderate likelihood of loss of principal investment amount, with generally smaller potential returns. Investors who invest in this product should have a basic understanding of financial instruments with standardised terms and no unusual or complicated features.

 

Investors should refer to the SDR programme disclosure document provided by the depository for the features, and characteristics including a description of how corporate actions or distributions will be handled, as well as risks and other information. The SDR programme disclosure document is provided on https://www.singaporedr.com/.

Besides the convenience, investing through SDR is significantly more affordable. Using the Cash Plus Account Privilege tier as an example, trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) incurs a fee of 0.12% with a minimum amount of THB300, while trading Thai Stock under SDR is charged at 0.08% with no Minimum. It’s worth noting that the standard rate for the SET under the Cash Plus Account’s normal tier is 0.35%, with a mininum of THB500.

A copy of the Prospectus and PHS are available from PCM, any of its Participating Dealers (“PDs“) for the ETF, or any of its authorised distributors for the unit trust managed by PCM.  

An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). Listing on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units which may be traded at prices above or below its NAV or may be suspended or delisted. Investors may buy or sell the Units on SGX-ST when it is listed. Investors cannot create or redeem Units directly with PCM and have no rights to request PCM to redeem or purchase their Units. Creation and redemption of Units are through PDs if investors are clients of the PDs, who have no obligation to agree to create or redeem Units on behalf of any investor and may impose terms and conditions in connection with such creation or redemption orders. Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The purchase of a unit in a fund is not the same as placing your money on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company. There is no guarantee as to the amount of capital invested or return received. The value of the units and the income accruing to the units may fall or rise. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Products.

The regular dividend distributions, out of either income and/or capital, are not guaranteed and subject to PCM’s discretion. Past payout yields and payments do not represent future payout yields and payments.
