Haw Par (SGX:H02) is a Singapore-based holding company that holds meaningful stakes in a large Singaporean bank, a major Singa-porean property developer and a topical analgesic known as Tiger Balm. Its cash holdings are also considerable, in our judg-ment. Haw Par has a combination of real and financial assets, and we believe it has traded at a meaningful discount to the sum of its parts. The stock gained after the company restructured some of its assets in 2017.
