The Week in Global IPOs: Busy During Expiration [View article]
The A-shares have already been trading in the Chinese domestic market (002336 CH), trading pretty much flat based on their IPO price. Consumer Stocks do have a tougher time to make it to market in HK these days, so I expect the listing earliest Q2 2011 in Hong Kong.

Thank you for the comments. My key top long fund holdings had a tremendous week with casino operator Wynn Macau (+11.19%), cosmetics group L'Occitaine (+9.59%) and car retailer Zhongsheng Group (+12.00%) all amongst the top performers in the Hong Kong Market since publication. Casino Operator Sands China (-1.90%), not a fund holding, was under downside pressure, however, on law suits and a downgrade, helping to propel the IPOX-run Direxion Long/Short Global IPO Fund (seekingalpha.com/symbo...) to rise strongly at a negative correlation to the benchmarks.

IPOX (FPX) is about gaining exposure into the largest IPOs during the past four years: IPOs/spin-offs enter the index by size (if they are large enough at inception of trading) or by momentum (through quarterly re-balancing). This tilts the index towards large-cap stocks and is investable solution to the dispersion of long-run IPO returns whereby many IPOs underperform but exposure into few overperforming ones can have substantial asset allocation benefits.
