This week in StubWorld ...



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.



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 as a % - of at least 20%.
