Decent 2021 interims and continual buybacks have not curbed First Pacific Co (142 HK)'s recent underperformance, with the market assigning US$300mn less for the stub ops than before.



Preceding my comments on First Pac 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%.
