Kwg Property Holding (1813 HK) is trading rich to peers after the in-specie distribution of soon-to-be-listed KWG Living Group (3913 HK). KWG Living itself will need to hit significant earnings growth targets to justify its implied market valuation.

Preceding my comments on KWG are the weekly setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.
