  Singapore Banks: Storm in a teacup | Overweight                           
  Ø  Singapore banks' significantly higher exposure to China since 2008 has 
  sparked fears of potential pitfalls.                                      
  Ø  We think the concerns are overdone because the banks have limited      
  domestic lending in China and the key growth driver has been the safer    
  short-term trade loans.                                                   
  Ø  Maintain Overweight on banks with DBS our top sector pick.

  Cordlife Group (CLGL SP): More products, more markets; Buy TP SGD1.43     
  Ø  Cordlife is steadily transforming itself into a multi-product          
  healthcare products distributor across an enlarged network of eight       
  countries including China.                                                
  Ø  Products targeted at the mother and child segment, such as cord tissue 
  storage, will be launched in more markets soon, while new products will   
  be rolled out.                                                            
  Ø  Maintain BUY with SOTP-based TP up slightly to SGD1.43. Catalysts      
  include stronger revenue growth, better margins and acquisitions that     
  could catapult it into a new league.

 Walk the Talk: Singapore Telco Strategy 2014 (24 Mar & 7 Apr 2014) - 2014  
 will be the year of 4G, tiered data plans and data monetisation. Which     
 telco will derive the greatest benefit from the latest efforts to clamp    
 down on free unlimited mobile data and the start of charging for data? As  
 subscribers are weaned off unlimited data, more people are breaking free   
 of their initial caution and finding the minimum allowance given by the    
 telcos to be too confining. We expect a growing percentage of subscribers  
 to upgrade their plans, which should spell higher ARPUs for telcos.        
 Unfortunately, it's not so simple to monetise and the road to higher ARPUs 
 will be littered with falling voice and SMS revenues. Facebook buying      
 Whatsapp will not help. We will also talk about telcos transforming        
 themselves from dump pipe providers just providing connectivity to new     
 services revolving around digital lifestyles and non-traditional services  
 driven by the Internet of Things (IOT) in order to counter the threat from 
 Over The Top (OTT) services. Who must take the lead and why is the leader  
 not the best choice to invest in?7-8pm. 48 NCR Event Hall, 48 North Canal
