On 23 June 2025, SGX launched six new Singapore Depository Receipts (SDRs), which consist of three Hong Kong SDRs and three Thai SDRs.   

SDRs are instruments that represent an interest in an underlying security listed on an overseas exchange. SDRs are listed on an overseas exchange but can be traded directly on the SGX, offering access to foreign companies and trading in SGD. 

The new SDR offerings include Hang Seng Index (HSI) constituents SMIC, JD.com and PetroChina, and Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET50) constituents Bangkok Dusit Medical Services, CP Foods and Gulf Development.  

After the addition of the new SDRs, there are now a total of 10 Thai SDRs and 11 Hong Kong SDRs available for trading on SGX. 

Here's what investors should know about the recently launched SDRs.

#1 Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SGX: HSMD) 

China's largest chipmaker, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation or better known as SMIC, also happens to be the third-largest contract chip maker globally - behind only TSMC and Samsung - highlighting its heft in the cutting-edge world of semiconductors.  

The company has a market leadership position in mature-node chips commonly found in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.  

For SMIC, the underlying ratio is five-to-one, which refers to five SDRs representing one underlying stock.

#2 JD.com (SGX: HJDD)  

Next is none other than JD.com, one of the original e-commerce titans in China, having competed with Alibaba in the fast-growing e-commerce space for decades. 

The company has a whopping 600 million or so annual active customers and the firm's retail segment accounted for over four-fifths of its revenue in Q1 2025 as China's consumer economy continues to perform well on the back of government subsidies. 

For JD.com, the underlying ratio is 10 SDRs for every one JD.com share. 

#3 PetroChina (SGX: HPCD) 

Anyone familiar with China's oil & gas sector will recognise PetroChina as one of its energy giants. PetroChina is the country's largest oil & gas producer and is engaged in everything from exploration and development through to transportation and marketing of crude oil and natural gas. 

As an energy company that produces reliable and consistent cash, it's also no surprise to know that PetroChina pays a dividend and its shares are currently yielding an attracting 7.5%. 

The SDR for PetroChina is issued on a one to two ratio. 

#4 Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (SGX: TBDD) 

In Thailand, medical tourism is a booming business and Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS) operates as the largest private hospital provider in the country. The company works closely with overseas stakeholders, such as embassies and local agents, to expand its international customer base. 

Its latest Q1 2025 earnings were solid, with profit up by 6% year-on-year and supported by its international patient base and stable margin profile. 

For Bangkok Dusit Medical Services, the underlying ratio is one SDR to two Bangkok Dusit Medical Services shares.

#5 CP Foods (SGX: TPFD) 

Anyone familiar with packaged foods and convenience store gourmet options will know about Thailand's leading agro-industrial and food conglomerate CP Foods. 

It has a vertically-integrated business that spans feed, farming, and food and recently reported record profits for its Q1 2025 period. 

With its strong earnings growth, improving margins, and various strategic initiatives, investors have taken notice of CP Foods' long-term growth potential. The company also offers investors a relatively attractive annual dividend yield of 5% right now. 

The SDR for CP Foods is issued on a one to two ratio.  

#6 Gulf Development (SGX: TGUD) 

Finally, rounding out the new SDRs on SGX is a large Thai conglomerate that has holdings across energy, infrastructure, and digital businesses. Its core operations are in power generation (including renewables), natural gas, and infrastructure development. 

In its most recent Q1 2025 period, Gulf Development reported core profit that expanded 28% year-on-year and it's Thailand's largest power company by market value.  

With the world moving towards renewables, and increased energy consumption across the region on the back of higher data centre demand, Gulf Development is in a good position to capitalise on these tailwinds. 

The SDR for Gulf Development is issued on a one to one ratio.
