CapitaLand Investment's fee revenue climbs 10% in Q1

Its listed funds management grew 14% YoY to $87m.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) reported fee-related revenue of $310m in the first quarter of 2026, up 10% year on year (YoY), driven by strong growth in its listed funds business.

It accounted for nearly 60% of total revenue, which stood at $487m in Q1, with the remainder from its investment business.

Revenue from CLI's real estate investment business (REIB) fell 14% YoY to $207m, down from $242m, primarily due to the absence of contributions following the August 2025 exit of the Synergy platform (US corporate housing) and the divestment of Dalian IT Park.

Within fee-related revenue, listed funds management grew 14% YoY to $87m, private funds management surged 58% to $41m, commercial management rose 3% to $98m, and lodging management remained stable at $84m.

The company's lodging arm, Ascott, recorded 3% growth in revenue per available unit (RevPAU) in Q1 2026, driven by a 3-percentage-point rise in occupancy.

Japan and Korea led growth with a 7% RevPAU increase. Ascott signed approximately 1,800 units and opened over 2,250 units during the quarter, with its Star Rewards membership base surpassing 8 million.

Meanwhile, the company raised approximately $2.5b in total equity across listed and private funds as of end-April 2026, in what it described as a more selective fundraising environment with investors prioritising quality and resilience.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
