The Singapore Exchange's decision to allow another 11 listed companies to trade in minimum board lots of just 10 shares is another step towards making investing more accessible. On the surface, it lowers the cost of entry, but the long-term implications depend very much on the type of investor you are.
For traders, this is positive news. A smaller board lot means less capital is required to buy a position, making it easier for younger investors and those with smaller portfolios to participate. It may also improve liquidity as more retail investors can afford to trade.
However, for long-term dividend investors like myself, the impact is relatively limited.
I do not buy shares because they are cheaper to trade. I buy businesses that generate consistent cash flow, reward shareholders with sustainable dividends, and have proven they can grow through different economic cycles.

Drop your answer in the comments to win 5 Tiger Coins👇 💬 Editor’s Take: This is a genuine win for retail investors. A stock like $DBS(D05.SI)$ at ~S$40+ means you previously needed S$4,000+ just for one lot. Now? ~S$400 gets you in. That opens the door for dollar-cost averaging, portfolio diversification, and younger investors building positions in Singapore blue chips. The EMRG recommendations are finally hitting the ground.
