In 1997, I found myself in the thick of Hong Kong's logistical madness, coordinating VIP events around the World Bank and IMF Annual Meeting. Picture this: a city of 6.5 million, freshly returned to Chinese sovereignty, suddenly hosting 15,000+ global delegates. Navigating gridlocked streets to bring prominent VIPs in banking and finance to special events, then entertaining them? That was my challenge. We pulled it off without a hitch, but it was a masterclass in event planning under pressure. Now, watching Paris 2024 unfold, I'm struck by how far we've come. The organizers are rewriting the playbook, pushing boundaries I couldn't have imagined back in '97. It's a whole new world of innovation in event planning. Some ideas are hitting the mark, while others might need refinement. But isn't that the essence of innovation?

Takeaways from the Ory Conference 2024. Last week I had the privilege of attending the grand and well organized ORY APAC-US Conference 2024 hosted by Ortoli Rosenstadt Ye Pte. Ltd. in Capella Singapore. Capella is one of the most luxurious hotels in Singapore and better known for hosting the Kim, Trump summit back in 2018. The conference aims to foster growth in the APAC region by encouraging social interaction and the exchange of ideas related to the U.S. capital markets. Having been in the capital markets for more than a decade, such conference on listing overseas is a clear sign on how the tides in the capital markets have shifted. When I was first involved in the capital markets, Singapore was the top destination for capital markets in terms of the number of listing as well as the proceeds raised in the region and listing in an overseas exchange is not as commonplace as it is now. In our recently released “Southeast Asia Mid-Year IPO Snapshot 2024” Singapore had 1 listing on the Catalist board for 1H2024 which is a drop from 3 in 1H2023. In the SEA region, Singapore had the lowest number of listing and proceeds raised for 1H 2024. To be fair, the whole SEA region have seen a drop in IPO activity and performance between 1H2023 and 1H2024. On the backdrop of such performance in the regional capital markets it is no surprise that this trend of companies considering listing overseas will continue. Making the decision to list your company be it in your local exchange or overseas exchange is a big decision and it will take a lot of deliberate planning and preparation. More so if the owner or investee company chooses to list in an overseas exchange because the company may not have much of a business presence in the overseas listing destination which may make sustaining investor interest a bit more challenging. After attending the conference, the word “Preparation” was the key buzzword I took away. What exactly needs to be prepared? From the sharing of many speakers the key thing I took away are as follows: 🏢 Act like a listed company even before listing ensure that your internal control, management reporting is ready to handle the rigours of post listing compliance even before listing 🗞 Start at least 6 months before your planned IPO kick off to tell your story to various parties and sharpen the story as you go along. Think about where your company is now and what you want your company to be in the future. If you do not tell your story no one will 🤝 Investor relations is an important ongoing item for issuers and it should always remain top of mind even post listing What are you doing to prepare yourself or your investee company to ensure the best outcome during an exit? Special shoutout goes to Daniel Leung, FCCA 梁俊然 for inviting me to this conference. Thanks for thinking and looking out for me and yes, we will catch up soon this couple of weeks. #iporeadiness, #IPO, #PE, #VC
