IFM Investors opens SG office for Asian private markets growth

The asset manager targets regional deal origination and institutional capital.

Australian-based IFM Investors has opened its Singapore office in a bid to expand private markets business in Asia, focusing on diversified credit and institutional capital.

The asset manager said the new base will support local deal origination and execution across the region.

The office opening follows a $159.3m (A$175m) commitment from Export Finance Australia to IFM’s Asia-Pacific private credit capabilities under the Australian Government’s Southeast Asia Investment Financing Facility.

The funding is aimed at businesses in Southeast Asia across industrials, manufacturing, services, renewable energy, telecommunications, and real assets.

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.
