ARA Asset Management starts 4 pct higher in Singapore debut



for a Singapore IPO diary> SINGAPORE, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Shares of real estate firm ARA Asset Management started trade at S$1.20 on Friday, 4 percent above the issue price of S$1.15 fetched in its US$190 million initial public offering.

The firm, partly owned by Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing's flagship group Cheung Kong (Holdings) <0001.HK>, sold 243 million new and vendor shares in the IPO.

It said it would use proceeds from the share sale as seed capital for an Asian investment fund as well as real estate investment trusts (REITs).

ARA manages Suntec REIT and Fortune REIT in Singapore as well as Prosperity REIT <0808.HK> in Hong Kong and AmFIRST REIT in Malaysia.

Credit Suisse and DBS Group were lead managers for the public offer.

Let's see whether this can buck the trend.
