seriouslyenough? 

I invested final week in Singapore, conducting astrategy workshop to get a customer there. Singapore provides you with adisorienting view of what many still contact the "developing planet."Ultra-modern properties thrust like shiny sculptures high into the sky. Cleanstreets, order, and precision are the norm. And everybody seems to be smiling.

In the top of many company people's minds andheadlines is the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEK), just 1,500 miles away, whichfor the past two many years has created much more IPOs in terms of businessesand complete dollars elevated than New york, London, or any other exchangewithin the planet. (View my podcast here)

Whether or not HKEK will retain its crown in 2011is in query. It has observed only $8.eight billion in public offerings thisyear, compared to $23.8 billion for Ny and $12.two billion for London. Butconsider the make-up of companies that are selecting to checklist in Hong Kong:MGM China, the China operation of the giant casino company, is raising $1.5billion this week in Hong Kong; Italy-based Prada made the decision Hong Kongwas a better marketplace for its IPO Guccibuckle embossed reddish brown handbag this yearthan the Borsa Italiana or even the London Stock Exchange; Samsonite, theAmerican luggage maker founded in 1910, has selected Hong Kong for its IPO.When asked why he chose Hong Kong, Samsonite's CEO, Tim Parker, told The newYork Occasions, "We want to orient the company to where the world's middleof gravity will be in the future." There are a minimum of two essentiallessons I think we can draw from the tale of Hong Kong's current IPO dominance:

one) The middle of gravity is shifting. A McKinseystudy predicts that more than the next 50 years the developing planet willcontribute more to global GDP development compared to developed world, something that hasn't occurred for 200 many years. And also the center with thedeveloping world, for now a minimum of, is in East Asia.

two) You'll need to align your investors with yourtechnique. Many businesses choose Hong Kong not because of valuations (in factAsian exchanges have already been underperforming New york or Europeanexchanges this ear) but instead simply because their long-term growthaspirations lie in doing more business in Asia. By growing the proportion ofinvestors who live in Asia, they more carefully align their investor base withtheir technique.

There is so much more say about what I am seeinghere in Singapore--the vibrancy, the diversity, the cultural and company Gucci studscasual two-tone handbagdifferences. But within the interest of giving you one very important nugget tochew on, consider why a lot of smart businesses are selecting to problem IPOsin Asia, shunning vibrant markets nearer to home. What are the implications foryour business even if an IPO isn't inside your near-term plans? There are atleast two:

1) The center of gravity is shifting. Are youtaking Asia seriously enough?

2) Traders are not just capital resources; theyshape what your business does and just how it sees the planet. Does your investormakeup fit your long-term aspirations? If not, which investors do you need toreplace?
