Temasek - Heliconia Capital - Ron Sim - Jumbo Group


Temasek Holdings unit Heliconia Capital Management is targeting local enterprises that wish to expand abroad demonstrated by its recent cornerstone investment in local food and beverage multi-dining concept brand Jumbo Group.

Jumbo Group surged in its trading debut after selling shares in the city-state’s largest initial public offering (IPO) to date for 2015. The IPO was backed by cornerstone investors Heliconia and Osim International’s chairman and founder Ron Sim. Initially offered at S$0.25, the shares rose as much as 58 per cent to an intra-day high of S$0.395.

Jumbo operates restaurants offering pork rib soup, or bak kut teh,  as well as ramen noodles. It claims to serve more than 6000 customers daily, according to its website. A filing indicates its plans to expand abroad and deepen its footprint in Singapore with the opening of four more outlets in China and Singapore within 2016-2017 period.

Heliconia describes itself as an investment firm that focuses on growth-oriented Singapore firms, as well as investing directly into Singapore-focused private equity (PE) funds as a limited partner (LP). According to their Bloomberg profile, the funds that Heliconia infuses capital into mandates investment of at least 50 per cent of committed capital into Singapore-based ventures.

In an interaction with Bloomberg, CEO Derek Lau explained: “For Heliconia, our mandate is to identify and support Singapore-headquartered companies to be globally competitive companies. We will continue with a steady pace of investment.”

Heliconia took a S$10-million holding in Jumbo’s IPO, according to a filing by Jumbo Group. According to Lau, the Temasek unit has invested in about nine ventures focused on urbanisation and the growing middle class in the region.

Publicly available information on their website indicates a portfolio of nine ventures that includes Singapore-based gaming hardware manufacturer Razer, MRO offshore solutions provider Mencast and engineering solutions architect and provider Hope Technik, which was reported by Tech in Asia to be exploring swarm intelligence applications for drones in 2014.

In a statement to Bloomberg, Lau said, “We’re careful. We have no set targets; it depends on when the opportunities arise. There’s no fixed formula. We need the stars to be aligned. Obviously the companies themselves must see the value that Heliconia can bring.”

Raffles Medical Group (RMG)


Raffles Medical Group (RMG), (Chinese: 莱佛士医疗集团) (SGX: R01) established in 1976. The group runs a network of clinics, hospitals, surgical centres, speciality units and medical laboratories islandwide.

In 1976, the group's founders, Dr Loo Choon Yong and Dr Alfred Loh opened their first two clinics in Singapore's Central Business District (CBD) with the aim of providing medical services to corporate clients. By 1989, this had grown to five clinics and it was then that the two friends decided to incorporate their clinics into a medical practice group. Expanding after its incorporation, RMG moved into Singapore's HDB heartlands with their first neighbourhood clinic in 1993. More similar clinics soon followed in other estates.

In 1990, RMG tendered and obtained a contract with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore to provide medical services to the passengers transiting through Changi International Airport as well as airport workers. This also marked RMG's first 24-hour clinic.

Today, RMG runs a network of 74 multi-disciplinary clinics across Singapore, and four medical centres in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Airport clinics in Singapore’s Changi International Airport and Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok International Airport are also managed by them.

The Group's flagship hospital is Raffles Hospital. It is located in Bugis and consists of 20 different specialist centres which provides specialist services such as obstetrics and gynaecology, cardiology, oncology and orthopaedics.[1]

In 2005, RMG also began offering health financing under its subsidiary International Medical Insurers (IMI). RMG also has its own consumer healthcare division which develops and distributes a full range of nutraceuticals, supplements, vitamins and medical diagnostic equipment.

RMG uses the Institutional Group Practice Model. Through this model, specialists work as a team to provide patients quality medical services that are integrated, peer reviewed and medically audited.

Biosensors International Group

Since 1990, we have been developing and marketing critical care catheter systems and related devices used during heart surgery and intensive care treatment.

Always seeking to be at the forefront of product innovation, we entered the interventional cardiology market in 2000 with our proprietary coronary stent and accompanying stent delivery system. In the same year, we further expanded our product line to include angioplasty balloons and catheters.

Since that time, Biosensors has rapidly grown to become the world’s fourth largest supplier of cardiac stents, with the BioMatrix™ family of drug-eluting stent and the Axxess™ self-expanding bifurcation stent.  Our pioneering work has continued with the development of the BioFreedom drug-coated stent, which received CE Mark approval in January 2013 and is currently available in selected markets.

The BioMatrix Family of drug-eluting stents incorporate Biolimus A9™ (BA9™), an anti-restenotic drug developed specifically for use with stents and patented by Biosensors, together with a unique abluminal biodegradable polymer coating, which fully degrades into carbon dioxide and water after six to nine months as it releases BA9. The latest addition to the BioMatrix Family, BioMatrix NeoFlex™, features an enhanced stent delivery system, bringing exceptional performance in complex lesions and challenging anatomies

The Axxess self-expanding dedicated bifurcation stent features the same winning combination of BA9 and biodegradable polymer with a conical shaped nitinol self-expanding stent platform, specifically designed to conform to the shape of the bifurcation anatomy.
BioFreedom features a microstructured abluminal surface, which permits the controlled release of BA9 without the use of a polymer or other carrier.

Capitaland - TACT Proprietary Calibration Bands


Red mid-band being tested. A breakdown below this red support band will probably see a test of lower green support zone.

Any upward rebound above $3.40 will see a challenge and an upward attempt to retest the blue upper resistance area.

AIMS AMP CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL REITS - Heading For Potential Gap Resistance Zone


Beautiful inverted hammer reversal on 11th Aug 2014 at lower green channel support area.

Immediate potential resistance is the black gap zone.

Next potential resistance zone if the black gap is penetrated successfully is the red mid channel resistance range.

A strong upward swing above the red mid channel will result in a challenge to test the upper blue channel resistance boundary.

Take note that any failure to clear and stay above the black gap resistance will probably see range trading between the gap resistance zone and  lower green channel support zone.

Ying Li International Real Estate - DETAILS OF THE SHARE SUBSCRIPTION




Issue Price

The issue price of S$0.260 (the "Issue Price") of each of the Subscription Shares represents a discount of approximately 10.0% to the volume weighted average price (the "VWAP") of S$0.2888 for trades done on the ordinary shares of the Company (the "Shares") on Main Board of the SGX-ST on 24 June 2014 (being the full market day on which Shares were traded prior to the date of the Share Subscription Agreement).



The Company will raise gross proceeds of S$99,060,000 from the Share Subscription.

The Issue Price was commercially agreed between the Company and the Subscriber, after taking into consideration, inter alia, the historical trading prices and volume of the Shares on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. The Company is seeking the specific approval of shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") for the issuance of the Subscription Shares, the Convertible Securities and the Conversion Shares as it does not intend to utilise the General Mandate (as defined in Section 10 below).



Subscription Shares
 
The Subscription Shares represent in aggregate approximately 17.5% of the existing issued share capital of the Company comprising 2,175,585,804 Shares as at the date of this announcement and will represent approximately 14.9% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company comprising 2,556,585,804 Shares on completion of the Share Subscription.
 
The Subscription Shares when issued and delivered shall be free from all charges, liens and other encumbrances and shall rank in all respects pari passu

with the Shares

existing at the date of issue of the Subscription Shares, save that they shall not rank for any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions, the record date for which falls on or before to the date of issue of the Subscription Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, as at the date of this Announcement, the Company has not declared any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions, the record date for which falls on or before the date of issue of the Subscription Shares.

Capitaland Potential Adam and Eve Double Top



A steeper and sharper peak as shown by the green inverted V pattern was formed in April 2014. A pullback from this Adam Top Peak saw price dropped towards the blue support zone and a hammer candlestick was formed on 12th May 2014.

During the months of May and June 2014 a rounded Eve Top Peak indicated by the red curve was formed. Thus resulting in a potential Adam and Eve Double Top formation. The yellow immediate support zone is being tested now.

 A successful bounce upwards may retest the highs of the Adam and Eve Double Top Peaks. This upward swing will negate the double top pattern. Conversely. if the yellow support zone breaks down price will retreat downwards to the next support range indicated in blue.  A breakdown below this blue support zone will confirm this double top pattern.

Umbrella lines - Paper umbrella candlestick patterns - Hammers - Hanging Man

The Hanging Man and Hammer Patterns


The hanging man and hammer patterns are trend reversal patterns that consist of the same type of candlestick, which are called umbrella lines because of their shape. In other words, both the hanging man and the hammer pattern have the same shape, though the one is bearish while the other is relatively bullish. What distinguishes the two is the nature of the trend that they appear in. If the umbrella line appears in an uptrend then it is known as the hanging man pattern, and if it appears in a downtrend, then it is known as the hammer pattern. Both are a single candlestick pattern in which the candlestick consists of a real body that is located at the top of the candlestick with little or no upper shadow and a relatively long lower shadow, which should be at least twice the length of the real body. The color of the hanging man or hammer candlestick is not important.

Hanging Man and Hammer
Hanging Man and Hammer Patterns


The Hanging Man


The hanging man is a bearish signal that appears in an uptrend and warns of a potential trend reversal. The candlestick pattern is called the hanging man because the candlestick resembles a hanging man with dangling legs. The long lower shadow of the hanging man is generally a bullish signal, indicating that demand for the underlying security forced the price into the upper third of the price range for that period. For this reason, confirmation of a trend reversal is should be sought. At the very least, the candlestick following the hanging man should close below the real body of the hanging man. Confirmation may also take the form of another trend reversal pattern such as an engulfing pattern or a piercing pattern. The color of the hanging man on its own is not important though the nature of the confirmation pattern may assign significant to the color of the hanging man candlestick.


The Hammer


The Japanese name for the hammer pattern is takuri, which means testing the water for its depth. The hammer pattern is quite similar in appearance to the hanging man pattern but it occurs in a downtrend and is a bullish signal that warns of a possible trend reversal. The candlestick is called a hammer because it hammers out a base at the bottom of the downtrend. The long lower shadow of the hammer is a bullish signal regardless of the color of the candlestick's real body. It indicates that the underlying sold off sharply but demand returned, forcing the price back up to close at or near the high for that period.

Alan Wang of Asdew

SUNPOWER GROUP’S substantial shareholder Artur Jurczakowski has been regularly offloading his shares -- but a Singapore fund, Asdew Acquisitions, has upped its stake in the past year.




Jurczakowski's latest announced disposals took place in February 2013, when he sold 1.4 million shares at an average price of 20 cents on the 5th and 19th. His interest hs dipped below 5%.

Asdew Acquisitions, on the other hand, upped its stake in Sunpower from 3.57% as at 9 March 2012 to 4.29% as at 8 March 2013. Just check out the annual reports.

Asdew Acquisitions is a fund predominantly owned by former Kim Eng director Alan Wang.


In February 2013, Asdew emerged as a cornerstone investor of Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust, one of the largest ever REIT IPOs in Singapore.

Last month, the fund also took a placement of new shares issued by Sino Grandness Food Industry.

ASDEW ACQUISITION founder Alan Wang has emerged as a substantial shareholder in Memstar Technology with a 5.3% stake after he paid more than a million dollars for Memstar shares this week.

On 6 Jan, he acquired 11.888 million Memstar shares (0.4476% of the issued capital) at about 10 cents each from the open market, bumping up his interest over the 5% threshold that makes shareholding disclosure mandatory.

Memstar’s stock price has rocketed 47% over the past 3 weeks, hitting a high of 11 cents on 6 Jan, the day when Mr Wang made his latest transaction.

Memstar is currently in a supplemental agreement with SGX listed United Envirotech (UEL), which will see UEL acquiring Memstar’s businesses and assets for S$293.4 million.

The acquisition will make the combined entity a vertically integrated water solutions provider with enhanced competitiveness, leveraging on both Memstar’s proprietary membrane technologies and UEL’s strong engineering and marketing capabilities.
