Over the years, HOMEVEST has seen rapid growth in its property portfolio, investors, and client base. We are looking forward to unlocking more value for our shareholders, partners and homeowners.”
Lim further added, “It is our privilege for HOMEVEST to be listed on 1exchange, the first MAS-regulated private securities exchange in Singapore and a member of leading integrated private market ecosystem, CapBridge Financial. 1X is also widely regarded as the third board in Singapore’s global financial centre. We decided to list in Singapore because it is one of the world’s top financial hubs and is an attractive market due to its competitiveness and reputation in the business environment, human capital, infrastructure and financial sector.”

Mr Mohamed Nasser Ismail, Global Head of Equity Capital Markets, SGX, added, “A direct listing on 1exchange is a compelling option for many companies building a strategic liquidity pathway to unlock value and support growth. As a regulated private exchange, 1exchange promotes the vibrant trading of private equity in Singapore and supports companies in their growth journey, including towards a potential public offering. My heartiest congratulations to HOMEVEST and we look forward to its continued success.”
