Tradehaven commentary:
Almost a year since their inaugural issue in SGD bond space and we are getting closer to true value.
I do not like to argue with retail folks because they get defensive almost immediately and start telling me that even if they had bought the CWT 6 year at 3.9%, they have earned their 3.9% interest and they are happy with their purchase and their money is still safe, parroting their bankers, who are probably very good at making their clients feel good about themselves.
So I will not say anything bad about CWT whose stock price has fallen a tad ( hearing 300 lots brought down the share price by 7 cts !) because I am unfamiliar with the company but my comments last year remain. http://tradehaven.net/market/new-iss...wt-6y-sgd-4-1/
And I really do not know much about these mid size caps but I do not like it when the new modus operandi is to borrow and borrow and rollover maturities without even ever thinking of repaying debt. This observation is not targeted at CWT which, in my opinion, is better behaved than some other companies out there.
3 year interest rate is 0.855%, so we are getting a coupon that is more than 3% over the base rate.
To put into perspective, the 6Y CWT was priced at 3.9% when the 6 year interest rate was 1.88%.
Today, CWT 3.9% 04/2020 is trading at 4.62% ? When 5 year interest rates are 1.6%.
Which means ?
SELL THE CWT 3.9% 2020 and BUY THIS NEW ONE because they are trading at the same credit spread. Just a thought.
And if the banker is unable to honour the price of the old one, errr, I think the new one should run into similar liquidity problems too. I can vouch that I have not seen a price for CWT 6Y for a long time and it is nearly a miracle that the comparable popped up just because they are marketing a new issue.
If you have a portfolio worth over 30 million in bonds (report says Singapore will have 4,878 of such people by 2023 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-0...es-hub-1-.html) , perhaps worth considering some. Although it is not a bad buy for a 3 year paper which is proving to be the favoured tenor these days (look at Mustafa).
But if you just want to be fashionable and be able to tell your friends and peers that you are an serious bond investor, names such as CWT and Oxley too, for that matter, will not make you look very intellectual in the eyes of, say, professional investors. Unless it is in the company of wealthy and bored housewives who do not invest their own money, and with whom I have been very fortunate to be acquainted with, I daresay, owning a CWT bond may win me an admiring glance (being very sour grapes here).

I apply for UOB USD bond 3.88%. Got zero allocation.
I got it for AMTEK ENGINEERING LTD SGD 6.9% bond. LTV 60%. Price to sell now is 100.5. But intend to keep for a few mths & sell it at a better bond pricing + accurred interest.
AMTEK ENGINEERING LTD SGD 6.9% bond
ISSUE DATE: 20 Mar 2014
MATURITY DATE: 20 Mar 2019
FIRST CALL DATE: 20 Mar 2017.
They have strong backing in Stanchart private equity as a shareholder, holding 29% of outstanding stock (mkt cap SGD 321.5 mio), and Temasek holds about 4.9% too
Managed to secure a piece of Amtek as well. Had ordered for more, but considering the 200M issue is over 5x oversubscribed in excess of 1B, I can't complaint.
Skipped on UOB's USD issue altogether because I thought low 4% guidiance yield was a little low on this issue, albeit Asian AA rated demand was said to be high. The spread between 10 year US Treasury being at 2.7% versus UOB with COCOs like Loss Absorbtion feature didn't justify it for me.
Bought 500k Lippomall SGD bond 5.875% in Jun12. LTV 65%.
Just sold partial 250k Lippomall @103.75 & switch to Amtek engineer SGD bond 6.9%.
The UOB SGD Perp bond 4.75% is already trading 102 to 102.8 since IPO Nov13. So I believe the UOB USD bond 3.88% (US$200k - LTV70%) may go > 101 within 2-3 mths .But too bad, I did not get it. I believe can sell & get 1+% profit within 2-3 mths Profit is not big
Trafigura USD perp 7.625% bond (IPO Apr 13) is trading 103-104. But SGD perp 7.5% (IPO FEB14) is trading 100 to 100.7. So SGD bond may (may not)have room to go >101.
Final UOB USD bond is not 3.88. It is 3.75%.
Nice flip there on the Lippomall.
Taking UOB USD at 3.75% versus UST10Y at circa 2.75%(current px) leave 100bps spread between them. It might be a blessing in disguise not to have gotten any allocation. General rising of UST10Y yield or widening credit spread due to the slightest market fear will do no favours. The demand size for UOB USD will have to rationalize the tight spread (IMHO) somehow. UOB USD is afterall not a corp vanilla issue.
Notice as well this week that Trafi has finally broken above waters of parity, small victory considering a starting 99.30/50 at secondary market at the onset.
BREEDENS INVESTMENTS TO MAKE OFFER
FOR OLAM SHARES AT S$2.23 PER SHARE.
Muddy water in deep trouble. Extremely Good news for bond holders. Those who took "Casino" risk in buying OLAM 7% SGD perp bond @75. A 33% capital gain + 7% coupon/yr + accurred interest from Dec13 to 2014 (Actual mth TBA). Price trading @99.5 to sell.
My Olam USD 5.75% bond dropped to 85 in Dec12. Price trading @102 to SELL now.

On 22nd Jan 2014 ,OLAM repurchase Of S$39.2 Million 7% Perpetual Capital Securities And S$15 Million 6% Fixed Rate Notes Due 2022. Should have noticed this important buy back bond signal in Jan14.
My another Chinese developer Evergrande 7.5% CNY Bond was also attacked by Muddy Water in Jun 2012. Price dropped to 76. The lowest was 55 during the Euro crisis in 2011. The bond was just matured in Jan 2014.
So I believe if U have the holding power, choose the quality Perp bond or straight bond. Perp bond like Li KaSing Cheung Kong 5.125% SGD . Price is 91 now. Waiting for the price to drop <85 (yield to perpetual >6% + due 2049) , then I will get my sisters to invest 60k -100k each to be part of their long term retirement income.
can please advise on these two funds below. thanks
- Aberdeen Pacific Equity
- First State Bridge
Good fund to invest in Aberdeen pacific equity as part of your investment portfolio for long term holding.
It has gone through Asia financial crisis 1998 , Dot com crash (2000) , 2001 Sept 11 crash , Sar 2003, 2008/09 Lehman crisis , Euro Crisis 2011 etc. Ave return 9% since inception Dec 1997. But not sure whether the fund is able to maintain ave 9% return for the next 15 yrs .
Price trading @ 4.37 on Feb12. Today Price is 4.75. Ave 4.5% since Feb12.
52 week high = 5.25
52 week low = 4.25
I think buying Singpost will also give U 4%+. But your risk is not spread. Single counter risk. Buy Online - 1% .

HAPPIER
The older I get, the less I care about what people think of me. Therefore the older I get, the more I enjoy life.
WISER
The older I get , the less I trust the Analyst stock recommendations, Goldman sach , Citibank , CS, SC , Morgan , SG stock gurus , friend/colleague investment tips etc.
The older I get, I finally wake and realize that GREED investing , HERD investing, frequent trading of stocks , HIGH leveraging in speculative derivative product (ELN ,FCN , Accumulator etc) , FX trading is a guarantee for failure in long run.
So the older I get, the more I trust “FEAR investing” , INCOME investing , PATIENT investing & ONLY BLUE CHIP investing.
Therefore the older U & I get, U & I will probably be wiser & make less mistakes. But make sure it is not a very expensive learning investing experience by the time we are older & wiser & not getting into a high debt situation which is detrimental to your family happiness.
