Frankly, this is one IPO that I don't think I need

to say much. Very simple, SUBSCRIBE!

Yes, I know that IHH is going to use 90% of the

listing proceeds to pay debts, and the stock is 

listed with a high valuation of forward PE of 20

times, but this is one stock that I really can't miss.

There are a few investment theme that will be 

mentioned every now and then, and in fact it

is the future trend, and we are talking about aging,

private medical healthcare. If you are an investor, then you

really need to put some money into this stock.

investor and in total there are 22 of them as below:

IPO shares representing approximately 17.22% of the enlarged

issued & paid-up share capital. Lock-up period for investors 

subscribing for >50 mln shares is 6 months. 

Is the list impressive or what?

After listing, IHH will become the third biggest IPO this year

after Facebook and Felda, and the 2nd healthcare provider

by Market Cap in the world, with 4900 hospital beds in in 30

hospitals and 60 medical centres in Singapore, with 3,300 new

beds in the pipeline (Parkway hospitals), Malaysia (Pantai ), 

India (Apollo ) and Turkey (Acibadem ). IHH has the ambitious

but achievable target of becoming the  number 1 healthcare 

provider in 3-5 years, which is currently occupy by HCA Holdings

in US. I believe that with such vision, its high valuation is justifiable. 

One thing to note will be if you are unsuccessful in your 

IPO application or only receive a portion of what you applied, 

the money will only be returned or refunded on the 23th July. 

This is to say that your application money will be "stuck"

for >2 weeks. If you need to use some money within 

this period, please do not show hand and then all got no

money to use or to apply for the next IPO, JB Food, which

should be out soon.  

If history were to repeat itself from what we saw from Felda

IPO, then we can expect a 10<x<15% kind of debut, which

will be a good return for some traders. We have 22 big shots

willing to be the cornerstones of the IPO, and that include

our very own GIC, there must be value and upside potential

that they see that they are willing to subscribe for the share.

Yes, the valuation is expensive and on the risky high side,

but I believe that it will still be a success as "Malaysia is a

bright spot on the otherwise dark canvas of global finance",

as described by PM Najib. In a word: Subscribe.

In a few words: Use the spare cash to Subscribe
