Stocks with Largest Institutional Net Buys as % of Market Cap in 2H25

While City Developments has recorded the largest net institutional buying in absolute terms (S$237M) in Singapore’s stock market in 2H25, Catalist-listed Advanced Holdings has led net institutional buying as a percentage of market cap, with S$6.6M of net buying representing 54% of its current S$12M market cap.This was on the back of Blair Road Capital’s Asia Agri and Renewables Fund acquiring a 16.78% stake in Advanced Holdings from Managing Director Wong Kar King on Aug 26; Advanced Holdings’ core operation is a corn processing facility in Sulawesi, Indonesia, supplying animal feed to the fast-growing regional market.Also in 2H25, LHT Holdings has booked S$9.5M net institutional buying representing 19% of its current S$50M market cap. This was on the back of DH Wealth Management’s DH Cornerstone Fund taking a deemed 18.45% interest in the manufacturer of wooden pallets, boxes, and crates on Aug 27. In 2H25, institutions have been overall net sellers of Singapore stocks, net selling S$0.74 billion, adding to the S$2.07 billion in net selling in 1H25. Excluding the trio of STI Banks, 2H25 has seen net institutional buying of S$0.18 billion in 2H25 adding to S$0.58 billion in 1H25.As the trio of STI banks and other large-cap stocks tend to dominate absolute net flow rankings, expressing net institutional flow as a percentage of market capitalisation can offer a more meaningful comparison across stocks.Grouping the 50 stocks that have booked the highest net institutional flow as a percentage of market capitalisation in 2H25 to Oct 15, reveals that half the stocks represented the Industrials Sector (15) and the Technology Sector (10). The Materials and Resources Sector was also represented by five stocks. This has coincided with the Materials and Resources and Technology Sectors leading global stocks since 1H25, while the Materials and Resources and Industrials Sectors have led ASEAN stocks.The 10 stocks that have booked the highest net institutional flow as a percentage of market capitalisation in 2H25 to Oct 15 are tabled below.Stocks with Largest Net Institutional Inflow to Mkt Cap in 2H25CodeMkt Cap S$MYTD ADT S$MYTD TR %1H25 NIF S$M2H25 NIF S$MYTD NIF S$M2H25 NIF/Mkt CapYTD NIF/Mkt CapSectorAdvancedBLZ120.03710.006.636.6354.1%54.1%Energy/ Oil & GasLHTBEI500.10230.039.509.5419.2%19.3%Materials & ResourcesClearbridge1H390.027-500.040.630.677.4%7.8%HealthcareEnvictusBQD1070.0636-2.574.471.904.2%1.8%Consumer CyclicalsMarcoPolo Marine5LY3230.96962-6.6513.286.634.1%2.1%IndustrialsIFASTAIY279411.43425-16.87112.5995.724.0%3.4%TechnologyCSE Global5445252.5928210.7621.0931.854.0%6.1%TechnologyChasen5NV330.127160.101.311.413.9%4.2%IndustrialsCityDevC09626311.51340-30.71236.63205.923.8%3.3%Real Estate (excl.

Data as of Oct 15. 2025. Although the three stocks that led the table above maintain relatively low market capitalisations, each announced new institutional investors in 2H25:Catalist-listed Advanced Holdings saw Blair Road Capital’s Asia Agri and Renewables Fund acquire a 16.78% stake from Managing Director Wong Kar King on Aug 26 as filed on Aug 28. Advanced Holdings operates a corn processing facility in Sulawesi, Indonesia, supplying animal feed to the fast-growing regional market.LHT Holdings manufactures wooden pallets, boxes, and crates for the regional market. A filing on Aug 27 revealed DH Wealth Management’s DH Cornerstone Fund acquired a deemed 18.45% interest in the Mainboard-listed company.On Aug 18, Catalist-listed Clearbridge Health announced it had completed a placement of 990 million new shares at S$0.002 each, raising S$1.98 million. The placement attracted strong interest from notable investors, including Asdew Acquisitions, Azure Capital, and Ramesh Chandiramani. The table below lists the 50 stocks with the highest net institutional flow as a percentage of market capitalisation in 2H25 to Oct 15, with an average market cap of S$1.48 billion. Combining net flows with market capitalisation helps investors look beyond large-cap stocks and identify shifts in institutional interest among smaller companies. Tracking these flows may also be of interest as markets brace for increased global volatility in 2H25, driven by ongoing US-China trade negotiations, expectations of slower global growth in 2026, and more hardline strategic policies worldwide.Stocks with Largest Net Institutional Inflow to Mkt Cap in 2H25CodeMkt Cap S$MYTD ADT S$MYTD TR %1H25 NIF S$M2H25 NIF S$MYTD NIF S$M2H25 NIF/Mkt CapYTD NIF/Mkt CapSectorAdvancedBLZ120.03710.006.636.6354.1%54.1%Energy/ Oil & GasLHTBEI500.10230.039.509.5419.2%19.3%Materials & ResourcesClearbridge1H390.027-500.040.630.677.4%7.8%HealthcareEnvictusBQD1070.0636-2.574.471.904.2%1.8%Consumer CyclicalsMarcoPolo Marine5LY3230.96962-6.6513.286.634.1%2.1%IndustrialsIFASTAIY279411.43425-16.87112.5995.724.0%3.4%TechnologyCSE Global5445252.5928210.7621.0931.854.0%6.1%TechnologyChasen5NV330.127160.101.311.413.9%4.2%IndustrialsCityDevC09626311.51340-30.71236.63205.923.8%3.3%Real Estate (excl.
