SINGAPORE, Jan 21 (Reuters) - A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), backed by European asset manager Tikehau Capital and a holding firm of LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault, began trading in Singapore on Friday, becoming the second SPAC to debut in the city-state.

Pegasus Asia, which raised S$170 million ($126 million) and plans to invest in tech-enabled sectors, traded littled change from its offer price of S$5 per unit.

On Thursday, Vertex Technology Acquisition Corp, a SPAC backed by Vertex Ventures - in turn owned by state investor Temasek - became the first such structure to list on the local bourse.
