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. Separate from the Invitation, cornerstone investors, namely Apricot Capital Pte. Ltd., Asdew Acquisitions Pte. Ltd., Cache Capital Pte. Ltd., ICH Synergrowth Fun...

is it the actual yield that I'm getting is 2.4365% if I buy 10 lots at $1.06 from the open market?
Becoz yearly dividend of $385 times 5 years is $1925 and if I buy 10 lots at $1.06 and redeem after 5 years means lost $600+$30 brokerage costs, so actual yield is (1925-600-30)/5/10630 =2.4365%
Hence is it the actual yield that I will get if I buy 10 lots Astrea V at $1.06 is 2.4365% ??
Hence what is this "good chance the bonus 0.5% will be paid at redemption after 5 years" which you wrote?
Becos $270 yearly dividend times 4.5 years is $1215 and if I buy 10 lots at $1.022 today and redeem after 4.5 years means I lost $220 and $30 brokerage costs hence the actual yield that I get if I buy 10 lots of the 2.7% Temasek Bond at $1.022 today is ($1215-$220-$30)/4.5/10220 = 2.098% ?
So is it if I buy 10 lots of the Temasek 2.7% Bond from the open market at $1.022 today, then the actual yield that I am getting is 2.098%?
I am thinking of buying $50,000 of this Astrea V bond at $1.038 from the open market.
What are the chances/probability that this AstreaV bond will default and unable to redeem the bond after 10 years??
Because I read the comments in the AstreaV bond's thread in the HardWareZone's money section and many forummners there said that this Astrea V bond is not very safe...
(I already invested $120,000 into the Singapore Savings Bond hence I don't want to put any more money into SSB and hence I am thinking of buying this AstreaV bond but I am now undecided after reading the comments from HWZ on this AstreaV bond)
Do your homework and stop reading HNZ other for entertainment :) - you must be comfortable with the credit risk. S&P issued a A+ rating and Fitch gave it A rating. To set the context, many of the local corporate bonds are not even rated, so to get an investment grade do actually mean something.
Do note that if you pay $1.038, you will only get back $1 at end of 5 year plus the 3.85% coupons in between.
