The Assembly Place - Balloting Results

This is probably one of the most usual press releases that went alongside the SGX announcement of the balloting results. The Company released a full presentation deck , which is actually quite informative, with information of upcoming pipeline etc (probably the Company felt that it is safer to release this after the IPO closes and not before). The balloting table is as follows: The IPO has drawn strong interest from prominent institutional funds such as Avanda Investment Management (as investment manager for and on behalf of its fund(s)) and Lion Global Investors Limited (as investment manager for and on behalf of its clients), along with prominent investors, including Mr Han Seng Juan, Mr Rudolf Jurgen August Rolles and Mr Chong Soon Kong @ Chi Suim2 , underscoring strong confidence in TAP's investment proposition.

Singapore IPOs Tikams for 2018

2018 is a year to be forgotten for IPOs on the Singapore Exchange. SGX "failed" to attract any significant listings and most of the listings are currently underwater as shown by the table below.

Mr. IPO has been reporting his IPO tikams (performances) since 2012. You can search for the prior posts here.  How did he perform in 2018?

Contrary to even my own expectations, 2018 turned out to be the best year i ever had because of a few significant "bets".

Majority of the gains came in the first half of 2018 and significantly from the RTO of Memories Group, which i took a significant placement shares , so technically it is not an IPO but I have classified it in the IPO category. The top 3 gains are as follows:
  1. Memories Group $ 19,471
  2. Asian Healthcare $  8,371
  3. SLB Development $ 3,366
While i have fared well in the IPO tikams, my personal portfolio suffered a big loss when i wrote down Hyflux Perps to 10% of its par value. At this juncture, I am not even sure if i can recover the written down value and i will blog about them in a separate post on  my passive income pursuit.

I think 2019 will continue to be challenging for the Singapore IPO market with SGX struggling to attract companies to list here. The market should continue to stay volatile in the first half and beyond that, it will be challenging to predict how the markets will perform. 

That is all from me for now. I take the opportunity to wish all readers good health, happiness and a wonderful 2018!
