2 new trusts look set to be listed in Singapore in the coming weeks - Croesus Retail Trust and Asian Pay Television Trust. These IPOs come on the back of a very successful Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust that was listed on 7 March on the SGX Mainboard. They will become the 3rd and 4th Mainboard new members for 2013. Asian Pay Television will become the 2nd largest IPO of the year following MGCCT and is seeking to raise S$1.4billion in this huge equity offering.

Here's a fast and quick breakdown to what you need to know to catch onto the IPO bandwagon in the coming weeks.

On the sidelines, it is also definitely an exciting period to come with the rumour that OUE is planning to spin-off its hospitality assets in Singapore for US$800million.

Anyway for newcomers to this IPO scene in Singapore, I suggest you take a look at the how this IPO application process works here. It is a short write-up that I compiled to ease the IPO process and clarify doubts. 
Even if you are a seasoned-pro, there is another page on "SG IPO Statistics" that you may want to check out. It details 2012 to 2013 IPOs and their performance on first day launch as well as up to date.
