After a week of mostly gloomy news in the Hong Kong IPO market, the launch of Sun Art Retail Group’s global offering yesterday received an enthusiastic response from investors. According to a source, the deal was covered within an hour and by early evening Hong Kong time, it was multiple times subscribed. The company is seeking to raise between HK$6.46 billion and HK$8.24 billion ($831 million to $1.06 billion) ahead of a Hong Kong listing on July 15.
