Asia’s wealthy heirs are backing women in business

JAKARTA (BLOOMBERG) - When Grace Tahir's daughter turned 14, they sat down to talk careers. As a family linked to two Indonesian billionaire patriarchs, a life of leisure has always been an option for the women in the family - but the teenager said she wanted to work, like her mother. That sparked a renewed determination in Ms Tahir to help advance women, pushing her to pour more funding into investments with a female focus. "I would hate to see in 10 or 20 years' time, when they get into the workforce, them facing the same situation I see myself in right now where a lot of things are very male-dominated," 44-year-old Ms Tahir, who has founded start-ups and is now a director at her family's Mayapada Hospital group, said of her three daughters. Ms Tahir's interest in so-called gender lens investing is part of a growing trend among Asia's rich families, as young generations inheriting wealth put their money to work in more novel ways that may also have positive impact. It helps that the research is beginning to back them up, with a number of studies now suggesting that a focus on gender-equal companies can help portfolio managers outperform.

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Popular short-video app TikTok told its employees on Monday (July 12) that some will be offered the option to work remotely for up to two days a week after they return to office, according to an internal message seen by Reuters. TikTok will also give employees the choice to work remotely from a domestic location based on manager approval, according to the message. This policy applies to full-time employees and interns in the United States, the UK and Ireland, with other markets to follow. The company is currently working fully remote and is yet to set a return-to-office date. TikTok hired "thousands of colleagues" during the pandemic, according to the message. "There is no substitute for in-person collaboration, and we're excited to eventually re-open our US offices. But it's clear that many of us have adjusted well to working from home, and value the flexibility and balance," one of the messages said. TikTok operates in countries including the United States, UK, France, Germany, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan.

Virgin Galactic sinks on stock-sale plan after Richard Branson soars to space

NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - Virgin Galactic Holdings filed to sell as much as US$500 million (S$676 million) in shares following a rocket-powered test flight by founder Richard Branson that won Wall Street praise as a "marketing coup." The success of the hour-long mission to more than 80 km above Earth boosted Virgin Galactic's plan to start offering tourism trips next year. But the shares tumbled the most in almost seven months after the disclosure on Monday (July 12) of the potential stock sale, which suggested the company's need for additional funds as it prepares its commercial debut. "Welcome to the dawn of a new space age," Mr Branson told guests on Sunday at the Spaceport America complex near the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Mr Branson's achievement is a "massive marketing coup" for Virgin Galactic that will be hard for the general public to ignore, Canaccord Genuity analyst Ken Herbert said in a research note. "The challenge now will be for the company to maintain the momentum and establish a flight plan in 2022 that can demonstrate a repeatable and increasing commercial launch cadence."

SINGAPORE (THE BUSINESS TIMES) - Sembcorp Marine (Sembmarine) estimates losses for the six months ended June 30 will likely be in the region of the full-year losses incurred for 2020, according to a profit guidance on Monday (July 12). This comes as the offshore and marine player expects incurring additional costs arising from delays in project execution as a result of the pandemic. These additional costs are due to work rescheduling, extra sub-contract work, additional material usage and other staff turnover-related costs. Thus, provisions will be made for the group's first-half results for the costs to be incurred to complete the projects over the next six to 18 months. "These provisions will have a material adverse impact on the group's H1 2021 results," Sembmarine added. Its results for the period are scheduled for release on July 29. Sembmarine reported a $583 million net loss for 2020, including $162 million in pre-tax asset impairments and provisions for the fourth quarter of last year. Sembmarine on June 24 proposed an additional $1.5 billion rights issue to shore up its financial position and accelerate its pivot towards clean energy. It also said it had inked a memorandum...

Hyflux winding up hearing adjourned after intervention by Utico

SINGAPORE (THE BUSINESS TIMES) - White knight suitor Utico is making another last-ditch attempt to intervene in Hyflux's winding up process. The Middle Eastern utility firm was looking to file an affidavit, which refutes what judicial managers (JMs) have asserted regarding the failure to proceed with certain negotiations for the restructuring of Hyflux, the Singapore High Court heard on Monday (July 12). This follows a hearing before High Court Justice Aedit Abdullah on the winding up application filed last month by Hyflux's JMs from Borrelli Walsh after restructuring negotiations with potential investors had fallen through. Justice Aedit had granted permission for Utico's draft affidavit to be circulated among creditors within the day. The winding up hearing was adjourned, and a new date will be fixed in a pre-trial conference on Tuesday. But Justice Aedit pointed out that commercial judgements are generally left to the JMs, and Utico currently does not have a standing as a shareholder nor as a creditor. The court heard that it is in the "creditors' general interest" that Utico's affidavit is heard, and there is evidence that could impact whether Hyflux should wind up without furt...
