Hyflux 6% Perpetual Security

There seem to be quite a few stock and bonds offerings coming up for the market recently. Now, there's a 6% perpetual capital security being offered by Hyflux.

Perennial 4-year 4.55% bonds

Here comes another corporate bond issue, this time from Perennial with its second bond issue. I think I missed out covering the first bond issue late last year, so I'll look through the company's financial statements in this post and see if it's worth investing in.

Aspial 4-year 5.3% Bonds

Aspial is offering another corporate bond, this time with a slightly higher interest rate and a shorter tenor. So, is this issue worth subscribing to?

Fed rate hike

It seems like this has been in the news for some time with people looking at the possibility of it happening and the potential results. But now it's happened as the Fed increased its federal funds target rate to 0.25%-0.50%, ending the period of near-zero interest rates. So, what does this mean for us?

Oxley 4-year 5% Retail Bonds

This may be a little overdue, but since the closing for the applications is on 3 Nov noon, I guess there's still time and purpose for this post. Oxley, a property developer, is offering $50 million in bonds in the public offer and $75 million in placement. The placement bonds are 4 times subscribed. If you want to read more on the details of the issue, you can look here and here. I'm going to analyze the company in this post.

Singapore Savings Bonds

With the applications for the Singapore Savings Bonds opening in the next week, this post is going to be an update (more like an add-on) to the 2 previous posts I've done on the Singapore Savings Bonds previously, which are Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) Issued in October and Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) and will be more on the up and downsides as compared to fixed-term government bonds, SGS and fixed deposits.

Analysis of Aspial 5-year 5.25% Bond

You can start applying for it now until noon on 26 Aug and it is expected to be issued on 28 Aug and start trading on 31 Aug. You need to have at least $2000 to subscribe to the bond.

Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) Issued in October

As MAS has just announced that the new Singapore Savings Bond (SSB) will be issued on Oct 1 with retail investors able to apply for them from Sep 1, I'm going to repost this post that I shared earlier last month, with some new information added and others updated.

Sharing some thoughts on the new government bonds, SSBs. I think the new SSBs being introduced are a good alternative to fixed deposits, especially since most fixed deposits last at most 3 years. The money invested can also be taken out in any given month, without loss of principal or accrued interest, which would definitely beat the fixed deposits where little to no interest is accrued if the money is withdrawn before the expiry date.
