Can the region's e-commerce growth give EC World REIT a boost?

SINGAPORE (June 14): Forchn International, the overseas arm of Shanghai-based Forchn Holdings, is planning to expand across Southeast Asia to support the ambitions of the big Chinese e-commerce operators, which have been making big investments in the region.

Investors in Singapore have an opportunity to ride this growth through EC World REIT, a real estate investment trust that was listed on the Singapore Exchange in 2016.

Forchn Holdings owns the manager of the REIT as well as a 42.2% stake in the REIT itself.
