RHB Securities Singapore Launches Top Singapore Small Cap Companies Book

SINGAPORE,May 7,2019 -- RHB Securities Singapore launched its 9th edition of Top Singapore Small Cap Companies book,highlighting 20 undiscovered jewels that have the potential to thrive in coming years. This essential Small Cap investing handbook aspires to create value for investors by providing detailed analysis and recommendations for hidden gems within SGX-listed small-cap companies.

Revealing the book – Top Singapore Small Cap Companies (2019 edition)

RHB's award winning equity research team has been meticulous in selecting the 20 companies. The team conducted interviews with senior management of the companies,undertook site visits as well as in-depth fact checks before formulating the investment thesis.

This year,technology and manufacturing names make up bulk of the Top 20 Small Cap picks. The RHB research team thinks that some technology and manufacturing stocks,especially those trading at significantly low valuations,could potentially witness revival in earnings growth and in re-rating in their P/E multiples.

The book also includes stocks from entertainment,property and REITs,finance,rubber,pharmaceutical as well as oil and gas sectors. Although the nature of business,market capitalisation and investor interest may vary for all companies mentioned,they share a common DNA-- they are fundamentally sound companies with a high probability of generating positive returns for investors.

Danny Quah,Country Head of RHB Singapore said,"For close to a decade,the RHB Top Singapore Small Cap Companies book continues to be a sought-after publication. The ninth edition comprises top small cap companies that are undervalued but yet holds high growth potential with positive balance sheet and dividend yield. We hope to eventually see these companies graduate into mid-sized corporates or even large caps in the not too distant future."

Jarick Seet,Head of Small-Mid Caps,RHB Securities Singapore Pte Ltd said,"2018 was a dismal year for small-mid caps,with many of them correcting over 50% over the course of the year. This,we believe has created an opportunity for investors to invest in companies that are trading at an attractive price level and undemanding valuations. We have met a whole slew of companies in past few months and after countless meetings with the management and ground checks,we have selected our Top 20 picks,which we believe would potentially outperform in 2019,thereby delivering good returns to our investors."

RHB Securities Singapore celebrates publication of the ninth edition of Singapore Small Cap Jewels in 2019,a tradition that was started by our Malaysian counterparts back in 2005 and which has since then earned a strong following within the investing community. The Singapore Small Cap book complements the publication of Small Cap books by our research colleagues in Malaysia,Thailand and Indonesia. Our regional compendium is a unique Pan-ASEAN repository of reports,with ideas on 80 companies that remain unmatched in this region.
