If you been to China, and step into shops and restaurant you’ll notice that most ppl in China uses alipay to pay for their purchases. Back in early 2018 when i was Shanghai, i noticed most shops have the Alipay signage whenever i make my payment which was kind of new to me as back then Singapore digital payment wasn’t that mature yet.

Our Concluding Thoughts

Ant Group has a brand Monopoly and dominates the China’s digital payment. More than half of the digital payment goes to alipay. It has an amazing network and with so many users and merchants supporting Ant Group, this will allow them to continue to grow and tap on their wide network.

Ant Group unlike most IPO like Uber, snowflake is profitable already! So that’s one plus point. We’ll be wanting to get our hands on Ant and so it’s important to see how it will open on 4th nov if you’re interested in the Pre-ipo market. Already news source has reported that Ant Group trades at 50% premium in the gray market which puts it at HK$12. With such a jump the fear of missing out (FOMO) might set in and it’s very natural to want to chase!

So what can one do? Remember in investing, we never go in all at one time! It is important to scale in and not all in!

Depending on the opening price, if you’re really scared to miss out go in about 20% of ur allocated fund for this stock. If the price runs further at least you’re in. If it retraces, (remember facebook crashed after it got listed, but look at where it is now) then at least you still have some bullets to take a position. Be patient and remember you’re in it for the long term. A range of HK$100 seems like a good entry to nibble, but let’s wait and see how it moves ya.

Lastly, Alibaba owns about 30% of Ant Group so one consideration is to have some exposure to Alibaba if you do not have any yet.
