SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - TE Asia Healthcare Partners, backed by private equity firm TPG Capital, expects to achieve a valuation of US$1 billion (S$1.33 billion) in five years as it expands in South-east Asia, according to its chief executive officer. The Singapore-based company plans to invest US$90 million mainly in Malaysia and Indonesia this year, building new cardiac hospitals and repurposing an existing medical facility in Kuala Lumpur into an orthopedic center, Mr Eng Aik Meng said in an interview. That would take TE Asia's total investment to US$260 million by the end of this year, he added. The healthcare firm plans to double that investment in the next three to five years as it seeks to set foot in more countries and offers a broader range of specialized medical services, Mr Eng said. "If we continue at this pace, this is easily a US$1 billion company" in five years, he said. Demand for healthcare services, especially in specialized fields, is set to rise as countries in South-east Asia become more affluent. The average health-care spending in the region was at 4 per cent of gross domestic product in 2018, compared to 5.4 per cent in China and about 10 per cent globally, ac...

"The OTT video industry is ultimately about content and the ability to create hit content is not equal," added Ball.

HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - A raft of funds and financiers in Asia is leveraging their deal-sourcing capabilities and understanding of US capital markets to jump on one of the hottest bandwagons on Wall Street - special-purpose acquisition companies or SPACs. Among them are former Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers banker Joaquin Rodriguez Torres, who is now talking with more than a dozen companies in the region for his SPAC Poema Global Holdings that just raised US$345 million (S$458.6 million). Others diving into the action include LVMH-backed L Catterton's Asia unit, Hong Kong tycoon Richard Li, Singapore-based health-care entrepreneur David Sin and former hedge fund manager George Raymond Zage.
