Singapore IPOs: Why I No Longer Cover Every Listing

Some readers may have noticed that I have not been writing about every Singapore IPO since last year. The simple reason is that life has become busier. Between my day job, an increasingly packed travel schedule, family commitments and desire to play more golf, I have become much more selective about how I spend my time.  Writing detailed IPO reviews takes time — reading prospectuses, analysing financials, comparing valuations and understanding the competitive landscape.

Keppel KBS US REIT - Balloting Results

Keppel KBS US REIT announced that its IPO received strong response and the public tranche was 6.7x subscribed. 

The public balloting table is presented below:


Investors who applied for 50,000 shares will have a 46% chance of being allotted 15,000 shares. 

I did not apply for the public tranche as I was allotted 50,000 units from the placement tranche. 

"The positive demand from both institutional and retail investors is a reflection of their confidence in Keppel-KBS US REIT's high quality portfolio and unique investment proposition that is backed by strong visible growth opportunities, both organically and through future acquisitions." - Manager

My personal view is that the relatively small issuance size and 6.7x subscription rate will imply a decent debut for the IPO. It will start trading at 2pm on 9 Nov. 

Good luck to those who applied and managed to get some shares! 😊

Thank you so much in advance! :))
