It all depends on the amount of capital and how much you are allocated successfully after ATM.
1% stag is a lot if you are allocated 1000 lots. Overnight $10,000 coffee money. Even with 100 lots overnight $1000 is quite a lot of coffee money. But i suspect liquidity problem(low volume of trading after IPO) So difficult to stag.
WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

I do not advocate applying for the retail bonds. Corporations are taking advantage of the low I/r environment to lock in low servicing of their debts. People will only subscribe to this simply because "it is better than FD", which is what they only know (besides insurance) in their sphere of investment knowledge.
For investors, equity is advised.
For ppl in their 55s, it is better by contributing towards their CPF acc to realise tax deductions and the 4% interest the SA/RA provides.

That's why i think only for stags for coffee money. But liquidity may be a problem if allocated too much.

i think 3.08% is not too bad for man-in-street. Most probably it will be oversubscribed by 1.5 - 2.0 times. Yet i think liquidity is a problem.
i think it will be better to buy CAPMALL TRUST and hold for 7 years. Most probably you will get more in the Reit's DPU rather then 3.08%*7. And within these 7 years, you may sell if capital gain is large enough during a Bull markets. IMHO.
But i am not buying the Reit now.
Not vested
