Singapore-based 8i Holdings seems to lack investing nous it espouses

FOUR years ago, Singapore-based investment and financial education firm 8I Holdings (8iH) opted to list on the Australian Stock Exchange instead of its home exchange.

The move might have caused some consternation, given the dearth of new listings on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) then.

For a while there, it seemed ASX had hit paydirt. In just 14 months following its debut on December 2014, the stock climbed five-fold to take its market value to over A$400 million.
