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. I suspect this will make the blog more useful as well. Rather than writing about every deal, I can spend more time sharing my thoughts on the handful that I believe deserve attention. That bring...

Happy 11th Anniversary


It's pretty tough coming up with this post during the World Cup ðŸ˜‹, in any case, Mr. IPO is still monkeying around after all these years. If you want to read my anniversary posts, you can find them here.

Mr IPO's Fan Base



It is really heartening to see the facebook fans growing from its low base in July 2012 (when i first started) to a 6,866 today. The year on year growth rate is, however, coming down. It grew by 16% over the last 12 months (compared to 21% a year ago).


The majority of those who used the Facebook is between 25-44, seems like Facebook (or maybe it's just my blog) is losing the younger group! 

The IPO journey is getting tough!

While my fans base has been growing at a decent rate, the market for SGX is more challenging.  Without any hinterland and with the ease of assessing other markets through technology platforms, SGX is facing an uphill battle attracting both investors and aspiring IPO companies! Hope the next few years will get better for the equity markets.

I can imagine how challenging the 2H will be on the IPO markets with the trade wars and bearish market sentiments. The PropNex IPO was "saved" for the Issuer. If it was to launch its IPO a few days later, it may have to postpone the listing! 

IPO Chilli Ratings


The IPO ratings went through another upgrade in 2018, where i try to put in what i think the first day opening prices will be.

Work and World Cup

Mr. IPO has just completed a gruesome 3 months (April to June) where he slogged like mad and putting in 18 hours day weeks.... he just wants to relax and nua and watch the world cup...  

He is rooting for the Rooster!! Maybe he should change his chilli ratings to the numbers of roosters.....


Happy World Cupping. Market will be opened only after 15 July 2018....
