SGX and SPACs: Singapore Exchange (SGX.SP) [SGX] Consultation Paper on the Proposed Listing Framework for Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs);

SEC Clamping Down: Creating a SPAC just became more difficult in the US, given the  level of disclosure, marketing practices, and liability issues surrounding SPACs;

Not A Good Strategy: This is in addition to the SEC issuing accounting guidance for SPACs, and certainly throw a wrench into SGX’s SPAC plans.


Singapore Exchange – Another SPAC Wrench

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing / Equity Bottom-Up

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (388 HK)

*New Product Line: Hong Kong Exchanges &amp; Clearing (388.HK) [HKEX] has published a consultation paper seeking feedback on offering Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC) by October 31, 2021; and    *Not A Panacea: We do not believe that SPACs are the panacea which will resolve HKEX’s weakened revenue stream. Further, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued accounting guidance for SPACs, calling warrant issuance by SPACs liabilities rather than equity instruments. This could disrupt new SPAC filings, and certainly throw a wrench into HKEX’s SPAC plans.

Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing – SPAC Time

*Challenging Quarter: Hong Kong Exchanges &amp; Clearing (388.HK) [HKEX] reported 2Q21 weak earnings of HKD 2.8 bn, declining HKD 1.1 bn (27.9%) linked quarter. Results were even worse when we exclude investment income (declined HKD 73 mn or 15.7% linked quarter) – decreasing HKD 997 mn (29.5%) to HKD 2.4 bn. Results were highlighted by HKEX’ marginally negative operating jaws, as recurring revenue declined HKD 1.9 bn (29.7%) while operating expenses increased HKD 8 mn (0.7%) over the period. HKEX’ 2Q21 witnessed weak revenues almost across the board; and*Risks Are Increasing: In addition to an extended valuation when ADT has begun to turn and having a new CEO with no exchange experiences, HKEX needs to contend with the government’s examination of a stamp duty increase, mainland China’s contemplation of a new stock exchange to attract overseas-listed firms (including Hong Kong) which will bolster Shanghai’s status as a global financial center; and the Sino-ification of HKEX trading as tension mount between the US and mainland China.

Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing – Glitter Is Gone

*Limited Impact: Singapore Exchange (SGX.SG) [SGX] announced that it was acquiring MaxxTrader from FlexTrade Systems for USD 125mn plus. This is SGX's third acquisition after BidFX and Scientific Beta in 2020. This deal is expected to provide SGX with the ability to leverage this franchise to set up an ECN FX marketplace as targeted under its medium-term plan; and*Distractions:As SGX needs to contend with a greater than expected impact from Hong Hong Exchanges &amp; Clearing (388.HK) competitive pressures for derivatives volumes, and the earlier-than-expected launch of HKEX's MSCI China A index futures – on top of weaker equity volumes and fees, it continues to do numerous tiny bolt-on deals which appear to be more of a distraction than their worth.
