Equity Capital Markets

Our Equity Capital Markets Practice covers a full range of equity and equity-linked transactions, including initial public offerings (IPOs), delistings, secondary offerings, preferential offerings and rights issues.

The Practice is also experienced in advising Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), having been involved in almost all of the REITs listed in Singapore and their secondary offerings.

Debt Capital Markets

Our Debt Capital Markets Practice regularly advises on debt programmes (Medium Term Notes, Commercial Paper & Certificates of Deposits); bank regulatory capital instruments, standalones, private placements, as well as convertible and exchangeable bonds.

Besides being one of the leading advisers for retail structured note programmes, we also advise on securitisation and structured finance transactions, and work closely with financiers, originators, issuers, trustees and credit support providers on products such as rated and unrated commercial and residential mortgage (and receivables) backed securities and securitisation programmes.
