Arigato, {{ first name | dear investor }},
I saw some pretty exciting news for Singapore investors recently.
From 5 October 2026, the minimum board lot size for 11 higher-priced SGX stocks will be reduced from 100 shares to just 10 shares.
Why does this matter?
Because suddenly, some of Singapore’s most popular stocks become much more accessible.
Take DBS as an example.
At around S$76/share, you currently need roughly S$7,600 to buy one standard lot of 100 shares.
With the new 10-share lot size?
That drops to around S$760. 🤯
Here are the 11 popular SGX stocks that are about to get much easier to buy! 👇
And here’s another piece of good news…
You can invest in many of them using your CPF OA too.
That includes our three major Singapore banks — DBS, OCBC and UOB.
And if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m quite a big believer in making our CPF money work harder instead of simply leaving everything untouched.
I’ve been consistently buying SG bank stocks using my CPF whenever I believe their valuations become attractive.
In fact, my most recent purchase was just earlier this year.
Since then, some of my bank positions have already gone up around 80%. 📈
But the important lesson isn’t:
“SG banks went up, so I should buy them now!”
It’s actually the opposite.
A great company can still be a bad investment if you massively overpay for it.
That’s why when I invest, I don’t just ask:
“Is this a good stock?”
I also ask:
“Is this a good PRICE to buy this stock?”
And with SG bank stocks having risen so much, understanding valuation becomes even more important.
So if you want me to share more about how I analyse DBS, OCBC and UOB, how I look at their valuations, and how I decide when I’m willing to buy, click below:
