Risks And Returns Of Acquiring And Acquired Firms In Singapore: An Empirical Analysis, Francis Koh, Soo-Hoon Lee
Francis Koh
This paper investigates the risk profiles of target and acquiring firms and the impact of the takeover process on them. It was found that corporate takeovers generally increased the systematic risk of the acquiring firms after the event while lowering the systematic risk of the target firms. There were large and statistically significant returns obtained by the shareholders of the target firms due to the takeover event. The shareholders of the acquiring firms did not suffer any negative returns.

Market Timing Abilities Of Fund Managers: Parametric And Non-Parametric Tests, Francis Koh, K. F. Phoon, C. H. Tan
Francis Koh
The ability to measure the investment performance of fund managers is a perennial issue for potential and committed investors. The performance of fund managers influences the manner in which investors place their investible wealth and their choice of fund managers. Obviously, it also affects the compensation of the fund managers (see Kershot, 1978; and Smith, 1978). Past studies on the subject of investment performance have attempted to draw the distinction between the ability to 'time' the market and the ability to 'select' the right security to obtain high portfolio returns. These have been termed 'timing' and 'selectivity' abilities respectively. This …

Corporate Divestitures And Spinoffs In Singapore, Francis Koh, Winston T. H. Koh, Benedict S. K. Koh
Corporate Divestitures And Spinoffs In Singapore, Francis Koh, Winston T. H. Koh, Benedict S. K. Koh
Francis Koh
This paper discusses the different forms of corporate divestitures, the motives for this corporate activity, and the empirical findings about their economic outcomes. A sample of corporate divestitures is also used to identify the main motivations in the Singapore context. We conclude that divestitures are carried out to achieve operational efficiency and gain incremental profitability and liquidity. Using share price data around the event-dates, we show that announcements of divestitures generally lead to significant increases in the returns of the parent company. The positive abnormal returns are related to the relative size of the divestitures and the computed accounting gains. …

The Signalling Process In Initial Public Offerings, Francis Koh, Joseph Lim, Chin Neo
Francis Koh
This study uses a sample of Singapore IPOs to examine the signalling process at the time of a new issue of shares. The multiple regression analysis results support three testable implications of the Grinblatt and Hwang model. We show that (1) the value of the firm is positively related to the fractional holding of the issuer, (2) the degree of underpricing is an increasing function of the variance, and (3) firm value is positively related to the degree of underpricing.
