IPO market capitalisation jumped 5-fold in 2010

39 new IPOs expanded the market capitalisation by $51 billion.

According to Singapore Exchange, the total market capitalisation of the Exchange came in at $902 billion.

“The 39 IPOs have further strengthened our listing position as the Asian Gateway. Our sector strengths in maritime and offshore, REITs and property trusts, resources and commodities, resonate well with many companies seeking expansion into Asia. In particular, the number of large listings from Asia and Europe expanded the breadth and depth of our marketplace, and reflects efficiency of our capital market. We will continue to enhance our attractiveness as a capital-raising venue for global companies in Asia,” said Mr Lawrence Wong, Head of Listings, Singapore Exchange.

Some of the high-profile IPOs in 2010 include home-grown airline TigerAirways, leading European offshore designer and shipbuilder - STV OSV Holdings, the world’s largest real estate IPO - Global Logistic Properties, the world’s largest Shari’ah compliant REIT - Sabana Shari’ah REIT, one of the world’s largest palm oil processors - Mewah International, and China’s leading companies such as Xinren Aluminum Holdings and China Minzhong Food. The year also saw the secondary listings of Prudential Plc and Golden Ocean Group adding $29 billion to SGX's market capitalisation.

Secondary capital raising activities continued to be active in 2010 with listed companies raising about $ 6 billion.

As at end 2010, SGX has a total of 782 listed companies of which 321 companies were from overseas, hailing from Greater China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and Europe. These accounted for more than 40% of our listed companies, and about 47% of the capitalisation of the market.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
