Hong Kong has been hit by a global public health crisis and an oil price war. The government expected that the rate of change in Hong Kong's GDP will be -4% to -7% in 2020. Market conditions remain uncertain and investors are losing faith in the market's ability to rebound, which has led to an increasing number of voluntary privatisation. According to Factset, ten companies completed their privatisation from the HKEx in 2019, up from three in 2018.
In this paper, we analyse the motivations for voluntary privatisation, shareholder considerations, thresholds for success, and how fund managers usually react to privatisation proposals.
