Hong Kong tycoon Richard Li’s FWD delays $1bn IPO on market volatility
李泽楷旗下保险公司富卫推迟香港IPO
Insurance group FWD has delayed its $1bn Hong Kong initial public offering due to volatile market conditions, according to people familiar with the matter, the latest in a string of listings setbacks for the insurer founded by property tycoon Li Ka-shing’s son.
据知情人士透露，由于市场形势动荡，保险集团富卫(FWD)推迟了其10亿美元的香港首次公开发行(IPO)。这是这家由地产大亨李嘉诚(Li Ka-shing)之子创立的保险公司一连串上市挫折中的最新一次。
FWD had sought a valuation of about $9bn and was only recently approved by Hong Kong’s stock exchange to go ahead with the share sale. The company could resume listing procedures when markets become more favourable, according to the people.
富卫曾寻求获得约90亿美元的估值，直到最近才获得港交所批准进行股票发售。知情人士称，当市场变得更加有利时，该公司可能会恢复上市程序。
FWD, which was founded by Richard Li in 2013, applied to list in the Asian financial hub in February after its attempt to list on Wall Street came under intense scrutiny from US regulators last year.
富卫由李泽楷(Richard Li)在2013年创立，在去年试图在华尔街上市受到美国监管机构的严格审查后，于2月申请在亚洲金融中心香港上市。
