There was one SME IPO of Gretex Corporate Services Limited in August as against 2 SME IPOs July.

Performance of these IPOs was mixed as 5 of them were at a premium and 5 of them at a discount, an underperformance compared to June and July’s stunning listing gains of IPOs, largely due to oversupply and aggressive valuations. Global Investors are being prompted to look for new opportunities across Asia as China has imposed restrictions on technology companies.
