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. While I still enjoy investing and writing, I no longer feel the need to cover every IPO that comes to market. Instead, going forward, I will probably focus only on IPOs where I am seriously considering investing my own money or where there is something particularly interesting that is worth discussing.

Singapore IPOs Tikams for 2017

2017 turned out to be active one where there were 21 IPOs on Singapore Exchange.

(source from Shareinvestor.com)

In terms of post market performance, Samurai and Unusal performed the best and became multi-baggers with gains in excess of 415% and 290% respectively ðŸ˜«

I managed to get placement or ATM shares from 10 out the 21 IPOs. 6 of them made money with 4 making losses due to bad timing. 


2017 ended as "2nd best year" where my total gains was $27,298 and the bulk of it came from:
  • Sanli Environment $21,753
  • Kimly $5,700
  • APAC Realty $2,051
For those readers who just joined this year, you can read about my past tikams here.





Now that we have come to the end of 2017 (with a few hours more), I would like to take this opportunity to wish all readers a Happy New Year!

Hi Mr IPO,

Would be nice to see how much % gain this was compared to the initial investment in the IPOs over the years.

Much better comparison for readers and keep up the great work! I always read your post before balloting any IPO. Basically I trust you more than my banker haha.
