CapitaLand opens US$300m private fund

This will be for its expansion in Vietnam.

CapitaLand set up its first commercial fund in Vietnam, CapitaLand Vietnam Commercial Fund I (CVCFI), for US$300m as a first in a series of its investments.

The Grade A investment will span eight years.

CapitaLand will own a 40% stake in CVCFI, whilst remaining interest will be held by major investors.

CapitaLand president and group chief executive officer (CEO) Lim Ming Yan said, “We see increasing investor interest in Southeast Asia, in particular Vietnam. They want to invest in the country through CapitaLand given our deep local platform and execution capabilities. CapitaLand is positive about the growth trajectory of Vietnam and foresee that this trend will continue for at least the next 10 years."

He added that the CVCFI will help bring its total assets to $10b in 2020.

Vietnam is the third largest market for CapitaLand in Southeast Asia, with nine residential developments, 22 serviced residences with 4,700 units, and one Grade A office development across its six cities.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
