| Valencia, in Barcelona's Shadow, May Be First Spain Soccer IPO
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- Valencia is considering becoming the first Spanish soccer team to sell shares to investors following public offerings by Italy's Juventus and France's Lyon, President Juan Bautista Soler said. ``We could become stock-market listed; it's a possibility, that's where the future is,'' Soler, a property developer who owns 33 percent of the club, said in an interview. ``There are a lot of investment funds that want part of their portfolio in sports.'' Valencia, the last remaining Spanish club in Europe's Champions League this season, is in a better position to sell shares than Real Madrid and Barcelona because its bigger rivals are owned by their fans and have repeatedly rejected the possibility of having their shares publicly traded. Valencia plays London's Chelsea today for a place in the semifinals of Europe's richest club competition.

EIH considers public issue as part of expansion plan
Singapore: Middle East-based property investment firm Emirates International Holdings (EIH) has hired a bank to study the possibility of a share listing as part of its overseas expansion, its chief said. Established in 2004, EIH is 36-per cent owned by Emirates Investments Group (EIG), one of the investment firms such as Dubai World and Istithmar to have emerged from the oil-rich UAE. EIH, which has assets valued at around US$200 million, is seeking to grow its portfolio of residential, commercial and hospitality properties outside of its UAE base, where about 60 per cent of its assets are located. EIH Managing Director Reza Jafar told Reuters in an interview that the firm would finalise its financing plans once it had decided on the direction of its foreign expansion.
