THE stinging performance of Uber's listing on the New York Stock Exchange - just as markets turned jittery again on renewed trade tensions - should add to the caution of young fintech firms in Asia charting a path towards an initial public offering (IPO).
Add fresh venture capital funding flowing through the region and a heavy Reit bias here to the mix, and the Singapore market may still have its work cut out in attracting large fintech firms based in this region.
