Investors should make a beeline for blue chips this 4Q: analyst

It’s a great time to accumulate quality stocks.

Singapore’s 50th year will bring in a bounty of goodies, mainly in the form of better dividend payouts, led by key government-linked listed entities.

OCBC Investment Research’s Carmen Lee says that M&As, IPOs and key corporate activities are expected to be pushed back into 1H15 as the quieter final quarter of the year is nearing.

Lee adds that OCBC Investment Research is overweight on the banks and continues to like DBS and UOB, with DBS as the top pick in the sector. Other stocks on DBS’ BUY list include CapitaLand, Ezion, FCT, Hotel Properties, Keppel Corp, Keppel Land and Wheelock.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
