The ETF tracks the iEdge Southeast Asia+ TECH Index which captures companies primarily in technology related sectors such as Information Technology, Software and Consulting, Car Manufacturing, Electronic Components and Manufacturing, Retail, and Media Services. The Index has a basket size of 30 stocks and is free float market cpaitalisation weighted with a 10% stock cap on each individual index constituent.
The index has a combined market capitalisation exceeding US$127 billion and latest 12m dividend yield of 1.9% as at 28 April 2023. On a total return basis, the index has generated over -12.5%, 34.0% and 14.2% in annualised returns over a 1, 3, and 5 year period respectively.
Why Southeast Asia+ and TECH?
Booming middle class – At over 680 million in population, Southeast Asia (or ASEAN) is the third most populous region in the world after China and India. Including India (or SEA+ in short), that is over 2 billion in population, and the region accounts for 27.4% of the world’s working population, and exports over US$1.7 trillion worth of goods, which has multiplied over 3.5 times in almost 2 decades.
Rising digital penetration – Despite the region’s number of internet users almost doubling since 2015, digital penetration still has room for growth potential. Given that 100 million additional internet users have come online in the last 3 years, the e-Conomy SEA 2022 report released by Google, Temasek and Bain & Co predicts that market could reach as US$1 trillion in gross merchandise value by 2023. In fact, ASEAN’s digital economy has approached US$200 billion in gross merchandise value in 2022, 3 years earlier than expected!
