MCT seals blowout S$1bn trade amid Reit rally

Mapletree Commercial Trust raised the roof with its S$1.04bn ($766.01m) overnight block-plus-rights combo this week, in a deal that earned praise from bankers on and away from the transaction. The placement tranche now ranks as the largest by a Singapore real estate investment trust, and could pave the way for more Reit-related fundraisings. John Loh reports.
