Investment Banking

You have come to the right place if you need professionals to advise you in listing your company, raising funds in the secondary equity and debt capital markets, arranging pre-IPO financing, mergers and acquisitions and corporate restructuring so as to maximise shareholders' value.

Initial Public Offering / Secondary Listing

We are one of the leading banks in Singapore on advising, managing and underwriting initial public offerings. If you have intention to list your company, our experienced teams will help you to restructure as well as position your company for a listing on the SGX. We will advise you on how to promote your company to the institutional investors and the general investing public.

Some of the high profile IPO which we have managed are Yanlord Land, China Fishery, Sino Construction, China Sky Chemical Fibre, Fabchem and Axis Systems, as well as the secondary listings of United Overseas Australia and Koon Holdings on the SGX.

Secondary Fund Raising

If your company is already publicly listed, we can advise you on ways to further tap the equity or debt capital markets. Our experienced teams have advised many publicly listed companies on raising funds in the secondary markets through placements and rights issues.

Some of the companies which we have arranged secondary placements or rights issues for include Healthway Medical, C&G Industrial, China Sky Chemical Fibre, Sing Holdings, Axis Systems, Sarawak Enterprise, Hubline and New Toyo.

Mergers & Acquisitions

In the area of M&A, we will help you identify suitable target companies, based on our extensive network and contacts in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Our experienced teams are equipped with the requisite skills to advise on M&A for both buy and sell sides as well as for private and public listed companies. We will provide the financial analysis and modeling to obtain the best value for your company.

We also have the expertise to provide financial advisory services on material acquisitions or disposals as well as interested party transactions either as a Financial Advisor (FA) or Independent Financial Advisor (IFA). We have acted as FA or IFA for several publicly listed companies such as China Fishery, Vantage, BreadTalk and Brilliant Manufacturing.

Pre-IPO Financing

We are also one of the most active arrangers of pre-IPO financing for potential IPO candidates in the region. Our typical timeframe for an IPO route is between 12 to 24 months upon completion of pre-IPO funding. Over the last few years, we have arranged pre-IPO financing for 22 companies. We will advise you on the structure, the terms of the financing, the type of investors and the appointment of reputable lead managers for the IPO including ourselves.

Financial Restructuring Advisory Services

We also provide financial advice on debt restructuring and M&A, recapitalisation or reverse takeover opportunities to maintain the listing status of your company.

We advised on the successful reverse takeover of TR Networks by Oceanus, a large scale abalone producer, as well as the reverse takeover of TSM Holdings by YinQiao, subsequently renamed China Dairy, a successful and profitable dairy products maker from Xi'an , PRC.
