  • CapitaLand Investment establishes its first onshore RMB fund in China

CapitaLand Investment establishes its first onshore RMB fund in China

Acquisition of a quality office building demonstrates CLI’s deep expertise to bring special situation opportunities to investors

Singapore, 22 June 2022 – CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) has established its first onshore renminbi (RMB) fund in China, in partnership with a domestic asset management company.  In line with CLI’s asset-light strategy to grow its funds under management (FUM), it holds a 12% stake in the RMB700 million (S$144 million1) fund.

Capitalising on a special situation opportunity arising from China’s current market environment, the fund is acquiring a quality office building in Shanghai at an attractive price.  The transaction is expected to be completed in July 2022.

Mr Puah Tze Shyang, CEO of China, CLI, said: “China is a core CLI market and the successful launch of our first onshore RMB fund is testament to CLI’s competitive edge as a leading global real estate investment manager with about 30 years of on-the-ground experience in China.  Our proven deal sourcing capabilities, understanding of the market and supportive ecosystem of domestic capital partners have enabled us to access, structure, and execute unique off-markets deals.  Through our extensive local expertise and presence, we are able to continue to extract value from the current market environment by being able to physically source for counter-cyclical opportunities, allowing us to build on our growth momentum in China.”

Mr Simon Treacy, CEO of Private Equity Real Estate, Real Assets, CLI, said: “CLI’s first onshore RMB fund will further expand our private fund management business, one of CLI’s key growth drivers.  We are increasing our fundraising channels by tapping on China’s domestic capital, which we believe represents a deep pool of investable capital that enables CLI to further build on its experience and track record in the country.  Our inaugural RMB fund also builds on CLI’s fund management track record, demonstrating our ability to offer investors a suite of investment options with high quality returns.  We will look at launching more RMB funds, and work with both our domestic and international network of capital partners to capture special situation as well as other investment opportunities in China, across different asset classes.”
