Our view is that with the CSRC issuing tougher new rules for reverse listings in China, and the IPO pipeline full already, there were risks to the going private transactions already announced in the US. A number of these have now been withdrawn ( <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/285" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:285">YY Inc</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/21-vianet-group-inc-adr" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8489">21 Vianet</a>), and more face issues.   Focus Media, a company that has…

Tiger Woods Partners with Alisports to Jump Start the Golf Simulator Business in China

In May, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) issued draft regulations on back-door listings in an attempt to curb market volatility and speculation around shell companies. The rules extend the lock-up period for strategic shareholders from one to two or three years and include a ban on fundraising. This has put the brakes on privatisation plans by US-listed China companies as private equity investors need to contemplate longer holding periods in a volatile environment. We expect more privatisation plans to be withdrawn after recent moves from <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/21-vianet-group-inc-adr" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8489:1">21 Vianet</a>  and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/285" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:285:1">YY Inc</a>. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/523" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:523">Qihoo</a> is the largest offer still in the mix and they have pushed closing back to August.  Some companies with existing privatisation plans have seen their share prices fall dramatically and may now offer interesting risk reward.

Global Asset Allocation, Politics & Governance

Ecstrat

Ecstrat is a consultancy advising on asset allocation between global equity markets, with a focus on the intersection of governments, geopolitics, governance and markets.
 
Over the past few years and more especially since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), investors have become more focused on short-term market movements and real-time returns and have consequently neglected the analysis of the underlying structural themes that underpin longer term performance.
​
More specifically we believe that the evolution of governance-based relationships between investors, controlling shareholders, labour and the state is one of the primary determinants of both relative and absolute performance between individual equity markets.
 
We will endeavour to provide investors with some of the context surrounding governance-related issues which encompass many different disciplines including history, economics and political science, as well as the financial metrics which are the most obvious manifestation of the structural characteristics of each market.
 
We will pay particular attention to the shifts and potential inflection points for governance in individual markets as these are often the best lead indicators for both economic and market performance.
