A bubble warning on Evergrande Auto (708 HK) from state-media suggests Evergrande Real Estate Group (3333 HK), at a 77% discount to NAV, is a better bet.




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


These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity threshold of US$1mn on a 90-day moving average, and a % market capitalisation threshold - the $ value of the holding/opco held, over the parent’s market capitalisation, expressed in percent - of at least 20%.
