SINGAPORE -- Late last month, Singapore's investors flocked to a little-known company that debuted on the local exchange -- hoping to capture some of the magic of high-flying technology stocks that the city-state's market has long been missing.
In what was the biggest IPO on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in years for a company other than a real estate investment trust, Nanofilm Technologies International made its debut on Oct 30, raising over 470 million Singapore dollars ($340 million).
