ESR exits Kenedix investment

The group said this is to simplify the business and focus on its core strengths.

ESR has fully realised its investment in Kenedix, Inc. as part of its strategy to simplify the business and focus on its core strengths.

SMFL MIRAI Partners, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing, has acquired ESR’s 30% stake in the Japanese real estate asset management company, giving the SMFL Group 100% ownership of Kenedix.

This follows ESR’s sale of the ARA Private Funds business to SMFL MIRAI Partners and Kenedix in 2024.

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.
