However, the iEdge Singapore Next 50 index, representing mid-cap growth stocks, has seen its tech component stocks achieve an average total return of 43% since 2025, with average daily turnover 2.5 times that of 2025. This shows that smart money has long been positioned in companies less directly impacted by macro volatility and able to profit directly from regional digitalization trends.</p>
