HPH Trust is particularly keen to update
investors on corporate actions and key
developments. Senior management
regularly take part in meetings at
road shows and conferences, as
well as via video conferences and
teleconferences with investors and
potential investors.
In 2012, the Trust met with over 200
institutional analysts and investors from
all over the world. To generate greater
awareness and interest, we have also
participated in key investor conferences
including Citi Greater China Investor
Forum, DBS Vickers Corporate Access
Day, HSBC Asia Investor Forum, Mizuho
Investment Conference and the SGX UBS
Global Markets Conference, just to
name a few.
Research Coverage
The Trust understands that timely and
relevant disclosure to research analysts
is in the beneft of all unitholders. Thus
senior management and the investor
relations team strive to maintain close
contact with all research houses who
may wish to understand the business.
The Trust is currently covered by around 20
research houses, including Barclays Capital,
Citi Global Markets, CLSA, Credit Suisse,
Daiwa Capital Markets, DBS, Deutsche
Bank, DMG & Partners Research, Goldman
Sachs, HSBC, Jefferies, J.P. Morgan,
Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Standard
Chartered, UBS and UOB Kay Hian.
Site Visits
The Trust is delighted to host analysts
and investors at the ports so that they
can gain frst-hand experience of our
operations and market-leading position.
We believe this helps investors understand
the business and reinforces the inherent
value and scale of our operations. On top
of these investor visits, HPH Trust regularly
hosts VIP visits for various Heads of State
and ministry offcials.
HPH Trust believes that it is our duty to
establish long-term and cordial relations
with all of our stakeholders. To this end
we aim to provide timely and accurate
communications to all investors, media,
analysts and any other parties who have
an interest in the Trust. We believe
that being open and fair, with clear
facilities for enquiry and feedback, is
imperative for maintaining trust with
our stakeholders.
Furthermore, being international in
nature, with a listing in Singapore and
operations in Hong Kong and China
spurs us on to provide greater disclosure
in an effort to go above and beyond
the regulatory obligations. To manage
this task we have dedicated investor
relations and corporate communications
teams in Hong Kong and Singapore
who are ready at all times to avail
themselves to stakeholders’ needs.
We have also recently uploaded
the Trust’s Investor Relations Policy
onto our corporate website
(www.hphtrust.com/misc/IRPolicy.pdf),
which details our commitment to
promoting effective and effcient
communication with all unitholders.
The following are some examples of
recent activities we undertook in 2012 to
promote good governance and ensure
consistent and timely news fow.
