    HONG KONG-LISTED Link Real Estate Investment Trust (Link Reit), which announced its entry into Singapore as 2022 was drawing to a close, is raring to sink its teeth into more asset acquisitions as it continues to diversify.

    The Reit came to market in 2005 with an initial public offering (IPO) portfolio of 180 shopping centres and car parks located in Hong Kong.

    A decade later, in 2015, it made its first foray out of the port city into mainland China.
