In StubWorld this week ...



For what is a relatively straightforward holding company structure, Kingsoft Corp (3888 HK) provides a cheap proxy into Beijing Kingsoft Office Software-A (688111 CH).



Preceding my comments on Kingsoft 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%.


As always, more below the fold.
