CLI establishes first onshore master fund in China

The master fund will invest in a series of sub-funds to acquire high-quality assets.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) has established its first onshore master fund in China, CLI RMB Master Fund, with a total equity commitment of $921m (RMB5b).

The master fund will invest in a series of sub-funds to acquire high-quality, income-producing assets with long-term growth potential.

CLI has secured a domestic insurance company to take up a majority stake in line with its asset-light strategy to grow its funds under management (FUM).

“This allows us to tap into a rising trend of insurance companies increasing their capital allocation to real estate in China,” Puah Tze Shyang, Chief Executive Officer of CLI China, said.

The master fund is expected to contribute $3.7b (RMB20b) to CLI’s FUM when fully deployed.

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.
