CoAssets Limited (“CoAssets” or the “Company”) (NSX code: CAX), Southeast Asia’s leading crowdfunding platform for real estate, is pleased to confirm the success of its second edition of its Expo for Property, Investing and Crowdfunding (EPIC) event held in Singapore last week. This follows the Company’s recent listing on the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX). More than 900 delegates participated in the two day expo, with the number doubled compared to last year’s EPIC 2014, and more than S$8million worth of additional crowdfunded property deals are now in the pipeline as a result of the event. 16 exhibitors from 8 different countries were present, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Mongolia, Cambodia, Australia and the United Kingdom, with Java Land Pte Ltd and Thai Treasures Pte Ltd returning to participate for a second year. While EPIC 2014 focused mainly on real estate investing and crowdfunding, EPIC 2015 covered a wider breadth of topics, including financial technology, digital currency and blockchain technology. A number of talks were given from finance, real estate and crowdfunding industry experts. CoAssets is planning to host a number of EPIC series, including in Malaysia in August and has plans to increase its presence in Australia following the recent NSX listing. Since its launch in Singapore in July 2013, CoAssets has registered more than 11,000 unique users to its website, and has so far enabled S$37million to be invested successfully with an additional S$45+ million in the pipeline. Mr Getty Goh, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer commented: “We are very pleased that EPIC was a success, with the number and quality of delegates highlighting the curiosity and appetite people have for real estate crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is still in its early stages but it is developing more and more in Asia-Pac, and we will continue to take an active leadership role in organising major networking events and being one of the key voices in the discussions around real estate and equity crowdfunding trends. We will continue to use EPIC as an educational platform and significant part of our growth efforts”. Mr Robert Reynolds, Managing Director of Thai Treasures Pte Ltd and developer for The Lai Thai Luxury Condominium in Krabi, added:

“Following the success I achieved during last year’s EPIC, I felt the need to participate again this year. EPIC 2015 is a great platform for me to reach out to investors who might not have enough capital to buy units individually, but are able and willing to invest in properties through crowdfunding”.
