erm... i think cannot like that see
usually for most IPO the insti tranche is way bigger than retail tranche... sometimes insti tranche is 10x or 20x bigger
but for this issue the insti tranche is way way small than usual
however still, the retail tranche will be over subcribed for sure as investors are hungry for yield and blind on the fundamentals
I expect retail tranche to be 2-3 times over subscribed cheers
All these insurance companies, banks, investment firms etc are in a much better position to take on these risky perpetuals than us peasants... They have access to OTC bond markets to diversify their risk. So having these institutions subscribe may just mean that risk is not too big for them. But for us the same cannot be said...ya i know..but still 4x oversubscription for institutional investors are a good sign
i subscribed to the perps few years back..only got allocated 20% and up 4% on first day
if you got allocated $100k and it move up by 5%, $5k in pocket
OTC market few hundred over bonds to buy and build a portfolio
but retail market for SGX.. think only like 6-7 decent bonds so harder to build a bond portfolio
example building a ladder bond portfolio

for sgx market... very hard to do so for retail investors
in 2011 i think hyflux was like a hot stock, $2+
the IPO was very hot, u get 20% very good liao
and yeah first day up can take profit liao
this time round... after 5 years
hyflux fundamentals has weaken, and investors expect rates to go up
so I dont think it will be as hot
ppl will still press ba, but dun think will give 20% so less... likely will be more... I have to guess maybe 40-50% for retail

i never think so much, just know i have to press, stag and go
to me this is low risk high return
Hyflux has much better fundamentals than oxley and aspial. Although cant compare like that as water business very diff from property business which needs alot more loan. Net asset after deducting all liabilities is ard S$1.2bil. Net debt to equity also below 1 at 0.99x. They supplying 35% of water in Singapore. Their 750mil waste to energy contract with NEA will give them a decade of recurring income. Only prob i see is their cash flow, future order book growth and debt management. Their loan interest is eating away at their bottom line.
it's a junk bonduncles and auntie will buy
I am not pressing for sure
i rather get a good reit that pays 6% than a 6% junk bond
hyflux is a freaking scam!!!Did any of you read the newspaper ad that state:"The issuer may, at its sold discretion, elect not to pay a distribution, scheduled to be paid on a Distribution Payment Datem..."?
Anyone can advise on above?
Let's say the SOR rate is very low in 4 years time...the new rate after 4 years came out to 6.1%....does this new rate stay for another 4 years? How does it work?EDIT: PHS is out, wow, seems like a damn good deal unless Hyflux calls it back (it's an "all or nothing" callable, first call date May 2020)? Usually this sort of terms is only available for institutionals/AIs, I think. And at 6% for the next 4 years...wow. If the 4-year SOR rate goes up in 2020, Hyflux will definitely have to call this.
during semb corp agm, ceo got mention that nowadays water treatment technology is quite open... a lot of companies are able to build water treatment plants, thus the returns on investments in this area is very low
