Mapletree Commercial Trust: IPO in early 2011.

Saturday, October 30, 2010

For anyone who did not get any shares in MIT's IPO, here's a chance to own some of Mapletree Commercial Trust's. This is a S$1.3 billion IPO expected to take place early next year.


The commercial REIT will draw its initial portfolio from Mapletree Investments’ $6.4 billion worth of Singapore commercial properties, including assets like Vivocity, the island’s largest mall, and several office buildings west of the city-state’s central business district. 

Besides its plan to list its commercial trust, Mapletree Investments also intends to launch several private property funds including a US$300 million Japan fund focused on IT-related infrastructure, a US$300-500 million Vietnam fund in which Mapletree may inject existing commercial and residential projects, and a US$500 million China-focused fund that will invest in a wide range of sectors.

What's my take on MIT and GLP?

Monday, October 11, 2010

A reader sent an email asking me what is my take on the IPOs of Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT) and Global Logistic Properties (GLP).  My reply was:

"I don't have enough data on hand to make an informed commentary on these.  That's why I have kept quiet about these although I have friends who would like me to blog about them.

"However, IPOs are not usually available at a bargain, especially in these bullish times. So, generally, I would avoid IPOs.

"With MIT, the expected yield of 7.6% seems ok. I do not know what is the NAV per share. I know it is using some of the proceeds to pay down debts to bring its gearing level to 30% to 35%.  Exact figures, I do not have.

"With GLP, it is being offered at a 10% premium to NAV. It does not even have any income distribution guidance. So, we don't know what is the yield.  What would be its proforma gearing level?  Too many unknowns. I would avoid."
