A special message to members about Private Equity

Image taken from denethinlokaya.com


Over the years, IPOTRUST had shared with members so much about investments, share picks and strategies. The purpose really is to ensure members growth wealth with every opportunity in the share markets. Today, IPOTRUST felt the urgency to advise all members to take a step back and start to see things a little differently. Investment need not just be in Stock market.

Members who are employees, especially business owners, need to see how the world is changing so fast with digitization. If you are very comfortable in whatever you do and continue to do the same. There is a possibility that your skills, services or knowledge will become obsolete in time to come. This is the reason why IPOTRUST need to be opened up as a platform in cyberspace. While every broker, investor or trader are busy finding ways to win the market, IPOTRUST spent a lot of his time networking, meeting up new peoples and learning about new ideas and embracing the changes in the world with digitization. I would repeat this, Investment need not just be in the stock market.

IPOTRUST encourages members to start believing the trend. Digitization can make wonders, there are so many things out there now that are digitized. The key word in this new digitized society is 'Collaboration'. With digitization, collaboration becomes easy between individuals as well as businesses. There are so many up and coming businesses which built around digitization have come together. IPOTRUST also need to find the right party to collaborate with for its service.

For members, what IPOTRUST can do now is provide you the right channel in finding new leads, new direction. Members can consider investing in Private Company that IPOTRUST has recommended. These are companies that had adopted digitization to grow the business, they have the good business model and could scale up. This way, members could grow along side with IPOTRUST and succeed.

Courting good company with IPO intent

While Singapore market is in its correction phase, IPOTRUST is busy courting good companies with IPO intent. Below is an example of the correspondences between IPOTRUST and a company. The company is a well-known brand name and I believe members/investors will be very excited to acquire its IPO shares.

Please feel free to leave comments on names of any good companies you think has potential to list in SGX or overseas. I will be delighted to pursue them for you.

From Startup to IPO

Image from FundersandFounders.com

A picture paints a thousand words. Given that there are growing numbers of Private Equities and Startups in the market now, PE investors will be better informed of which stage thier investments are in.

A typical Startup takes an average of 5 to 10 years to get to IPO stage if the business is scalable. Funding is needed along the way in order to grow fast and far. IPOTRUST focuses on securing investments from seed round stage all way to IPO.

CROMWELL European Real Estate Investment Trust (Cereit) IPO

Taken from the report in Business Times http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/real-estate/cromwell-european-reit-gets-singapore-exchange-nod-for-s16b-ipo

CROMWELL European Real Estate Investment Trust (Cereit), a Singapore Reit with portfolio of assets in Europe, has received an Eligibility-to-List (ETL) nod from the Singapore Exchange for its estimated one billion euros (S$1.6 billion) initial public offering (IPO).

The IPO could take place at the end of September, if all conditions are met, said the Reit's sponsor Cromwell Property Group in a statement on Thursday.

With reference to Netlink IPO listing back in July, IPOTRUST reckoned that Cromwell Europen Reits $1.6Bil IPO could potentially face demand issues. IPO of this size may not be easy to get enough funds support in Singapore Market. IPOTRUST believes a huge part of the IPOs will be allocated to retail investors. The public should be able to get the IPOs easily if they subscribe via ATMs. Hence, IPOTRUST need not pursue this IPO.   

Meet HRnetGroup

 

IPOTRUST attended a meetup session by HRnetGroup today. Listed on SGX mainboard on 16th June this year, HRnetGroup is already the biggest recruitment firm with a market share exceeding 20% in Singapore. Company's top five customers are Global technology companies, Singapore banks, Telcos, International Bank and Asian Conglomerate. Currently, the company has over 1,000 consultants that spread over 10 Asian Cities. Since IPO, Company will increase its co-owner from original 22 to 404 from its employees. Each co-owner has to invest 4.8% into each unit. HRnetGroup viewed the ownership model will be able to drive growth and profitability to its business.

 

IPOTRUST formed its personal opinion about HRnetGroup after meeting the management. IPOTRUST viewed that HRnetGroup's competitive edge is in its big armor of human capital.  Because of big teams, the company can do speed recruitment and take on big recruitment projects. Other smaller recruitment firms focus on specialty recruitment either in an industry segment or unique position. There is no doubt that HRnetGroup has become the market leader in contracts and temporary staffing recruitment in business. This is a positive for the company as it is now the hiring trend.

 
With a market cap of 800 Mil, 50% net profit dividend policy, IPOTRUST viewed that HRnetGroup's value is full.

 

Set up Private Equity Page

During the course of courting established companies with IPO intent, IPOTRUST met up with many private companies that seek fund from investors. To give investors much wider choices, IPOTRUST opened up these private projects to its member so that they too can invest in them. IPOTRUST would recommend credible projects with growth potential, good value and those that have detailed strategic plan for IPO eventually.


The Straits Times article on good investment opportunity in Private Equity. If GIC is investing in private firms, there are good reasons why members should do the same.







IPOTRUST is aware that growing numbers of public or retail investors are now interested in Private Equity investment. They want to be informed of good private companies and invest in their portfolio. Hence, IPOTRUST had created a page to meet this needs in the market. Due to highly sensitive data protection of Private Equity, IPOTRUST will not openly share information about Private Firm. Investors need to contact me to find out more.

Kelacharms - Unstoppable style

https://kelacharms.com/

Kelacharms had successfully received fundings from IPOTRUST's member yesterday. Kelacharms is a private entity in Australia that created beauty accessories products such as charms, pendants as well as chains. Also known as the world first non-slip hair accessories, Kelacharms's products are unique as it has patented a fastener mechanism to enable hair style to stay put. They are ideal for modelling photo shoots in fashion industry, wedding photo shoots, party goers, runners, kids accessories and many more.     

The investment is also unique to IPOTRUST as Kelacharms is not a public listed firm. IPOTRUST took an interest in the company for the following reasons:

1. Valuation is undemanding.
2. Founder has confidently laid out a plan to grow the business.
3. Founder has the right experience in retailing business.
4. Most importantly, Company's plan for IPO.

 Currently, Kelacharms still has available 8% equity to offer to public. Please look for me to know more about the value if you are interested.

Meeting STARBURST

IPOTRUST met with Starburst's founding member, Managing Director, Jonathan Yap a few weeks ago. It was an insightful meeting where Jonathan shared about his company's history, business activities in detail and how his company emerged to be a leading player in world security business. Starburst's business is highly sensitive in nature, sometimes Starburst faced problems collaborating with multiple big players in the same region.

IPOTRUST posed some questions to Jonathan Yap and asked about company growth prospect going forward. Jonathan Yap commented that Starburst's involvement on a building project was an wrong plan to diversify Starburst's current business model. This has resulted in financial losses for the company last year. Starburst is confident that 2018 will be a good year with inflow of higher recurring incomes and more contracts win couple with growing order books.

IPOTRUST will grow his networks through meetings with management of public listed companies.

IPOTRUST created Facebook fan page

It is about time that IPOTRUST leverage on Facebook to reach out to wider public on it's work. Hence facebook page is created https://www.facebook.com/Ipotrust-155442981685160/?ref=bookmarks

There will be more activities going forwards, IPOTRUST founder is contantly busy pursuing and courting Companies with IPO intent, there is not enought time and efforts in marketing the site. Hence, it is only wise that IPOTRUST find partners to work with, collaborate with more people to make its service more effective. Hence, IPOTRUST would like to work with :

1. One who is very good with cyber marketing, webpage design and development.
2. One who has wide industrial contacts and possess leading market info.
3. One who has big market followers, bloggers, gurus as well as ambitious individual who wish to be groomed to be famous.
4. One who could grow the site to a new level, promote its credibility such as endorsing our work and entrust our service.

Above is just what I thought will ensure the site success in shortest period of time. Time is very crucial, there is very limited things the founder could handle all at once. It will be good to get a team to carry out the goal together. If you are ambitious, please contact me.

GasHub signs MOU with SinoChem unit

We have just received this information of GasHub this morning. It was an awesome news and it is so appealing that I believe many funds are now interested to get a piece of the Gashub's IPO. I have created this platform for you and the public so that you all are not left behind. This is a service that Ipotrust has provided to all and you just need to come and look for me to know more. Ipotrust has identified that there is a void in the market place for retail investors who are not able to participate in overseas IPOs. The trend is many good firms are now looking to list overseas such as Razor, GasHub and more to come.  The fact is many firms are aware that a lot of local funds just subscribe IPOs placement and dump shares on listing. There is not enough liquidity to support local IPOs. GasHub want to list in Australia because it is not a market where local punters can contra in and out few days after buying. Ipotrust is not a fund, it is made up of a group of quality investors who are interested to buy good quality IPOs. Ipotrust is currently pursuing two more IPOs and working to do more.

IPOTRUST goes public

IPOTRUST was introduced to the market place last Saturday. It joined InvestingNote.com as a member to reach out to public as well as professionals. The feedbacks and comments were surprising, many people actually did not believe it, they are sceptical and perceived it to be not 'workable'. I received many questions after questions. I gave my replies but keep some information private. As this platform was just launched, it can not be totally transparent for the simple fact it would invite competitors into doing the same thing. I hope my readers understand it and appreciate how much work was put together to enable a level playing field in IPOs for all investors to participate. In summary, introducing IPOTRUST to the public was the first step, my blog views number has increased, there are already some who had shown interests. I am hopeful that my next IPO project will take my blog to the next level. I will continue to make way into the cyber space to create awareness in my work.

 

Second deal - Gashub IPO listing in Australia

Without my platform here, local retail investors will never ever know anything about Gashub IPO listing in Australia on September this year. This is why my platform is so useful and it has given everyone a chance to participate in a rare oversea listing like Australia. Gashub is a Singapore firm, it is a gas pipe contractor for more than 20 years. There is nothing exciting about gas pipe business in Singapore but because I have followed and learnt about the company plan for next phase of growth, it got me excited. In view that Gashub has so much potential for growth, We will buy to support this IPO in a big way and grow with it's story. In my humble opinion, rare stuff is good stuff. Subscription for Gashub IPO shares has opened, if you are keen, come contact me soon. Good stuff wait for no one.
