Equity capital markets off to slow start, down 54.2% YoY

Of the total proceeds raised in 1Q24, US$458.95m were via follow-on offerings.

Singapore’s equity capital markets (ECM) had a sluggish start to the year, raising 54.2% YoY lower proceeds, totalling US$490.4m.

Of the total proceeds raised in 1Q24, US$458.95m (-40.1% YoY) were via follow-on offerings.

The remaining US$31.45m were from two IPOs issued by the Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine (US$19.4m) in a Catalist listing and Ryde Group in a New York listing (US$12m).

Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine’s listing was the biggest Singaporean-issued IPO so far in 2024, according to the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).

By sector, the largest contributor to Singapore’s ECM was the real estate sector, raising US$238.2m in proceeds and accounting for 48.6% of the market share. The real estate sector’s proceeds for the period, however, were down 13.0% compared to 1Q23.

Industrials and High Technology were close behind with 40.6% and 6.5% market share, respectively.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
