That said, SDRs are still useful for easy access to big Chinese names like Alibaba, Tencent, or BYD without opening an HK account. If someone trades mainly in Singapore, it’s a simple entry point, but I’d only use them as a complement, not my main exposure.
As for options, LEAP calls are attractive if you’re bullish long term. With a smaller premium, you get leveraged upside for 1–2 years, though the risk is losing it all if the stock lags. Personally, I’d consider LEAP calls on sector leaders like Tencent or BYD, alongside direct equity to balance risk.
