    [SINGAPORE] It was a good week for investors in the Singapore market, except perhaps for those who took a chance on the initial public offering (IPO) of NTT DC Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit).

    The much-hyped data centre trust, which began trading last Monday (Jul 14), ended the week at US$0.95 – or 5 per cent below its IPO price of US$1.

    With its focus on a hot asset class, and GIC among its cornerstone investors, NTT DC Reit drew a lot of attention when it launched its IPO. Based on the nearly 599.9 million units available, the offering was approximately 4.6 times subscribed. An additional 51.5 million units were over-alloted.
