GIC partners with GLP to launch US$2b China fund

It will focus on income-generating logistics facilities in China.

GIC teamed up with logistics firm GLP to establish a US$2b fund in China which will target income-generating logistics facilities in China, an announcement revealed.

“We believe high consumption growth, especially of e-commerce, will continue to drive demand for high-quality logistics properties in China,” GIC Real Estate chief investment officer Lee Kok Sun said.

According to an announcement, GLP China is set to be the asset manager of the fund. It will also pitch in seed assets to the project.

“This fund provides long-term capital to further strengthen our dominant network in China,” GLP co-founder and CEO Ming Mei said.

The deal is in line with GLP’s fund management strategy. The firm has over US$50b ($68.84b) of assets under management across its real estate and private equity segments.

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.
