    [SINGAPORE] Japanese telco Nippon Telegraph and Telephone’s (NTT) NTT DC Reit is stirring up some excitement in Singapore’s floundering equities market.

    The real estate investment trust (Reit), which launched its initial public offering (IPO) on Monday (Jul 7), is checking all the right boxes that make for great headlines – and attract investor interest.

    It is set to be the biggest Singapore-listed real estate investment trust (S-Reit) listing in over a decade. It is a pure-play data centre Reit, a sector which has demonstrated sizeable growth underpinned by scalable, long-term demand drivers, and is offering higher distribution yields than its peers.
