Catalist-listed firms raise record-breaking $284.7m in 2014

There were 15 IPOs on the Catalist this year.

In spite of the muted Singapore IPO market, Catalist-listed firms rallied with 15 IPOs so far this year with a market capitalisation of $1.36billion, data from Deloitte revealed today.

This marks a record year for Catalist fund raising, which hit $284.67m this year. The Catalist board was launched in 2007.

“The 2014 Singapore IPO market is set to close on a muted note unlike previous stellar years. Despite a less bullish market this year, equity fund-raising efforts have held up well with 24 IPO listings. Two-thirds of these posted gains over the offer price on their first day of trading,” noted Deloitte.

The strength of the Catalist board remains strong this year with 15 Catalist IPOs of $1.36 billion in market cap, marking a record year for Catalist fund raising(S$284.67m) since its launch.

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.
