Date(s):
June 8, 2022

Venue:Webinar
Fee(s):Free Event
Description: Date : Wednesday, 8th June 2022
Time : 12:00PM HKT
(9:30AM Mumbai | 1:00PM Tokyo | 2:00PM Sydney/Melbourne) The last 18 months has seen the market sentiment for SPACs change materially - from enthusiasm and exuberance to one of the apathy and confusion. This shift was redominantly driven by the poor share price performance post listing as well as a number of market misconceptions around the SPAC product. Based on a CNBC report in September 2021, 97% of SPACs are trading below their key offer price. In this webinar, our speakers will discuss the market environment for SPACs, if and why SPACs may remain relevant going forward and why they are being actively encouraged by new exchange venues such as Hong Kong and Singapore. Finally, we examine the investment opportunities they present to different types of investors.
