Today we’re going to talk about a blue chip company listed on the SGX that will definitely ring a bell with our audience, especially those tracking the Straits Times Index.  

Headquartered in Singapore, our guest CapitaLand Investment is a global real asset manager with a strong Asia foothold. 

If you recall, the company successfully de-merged from the development business of CapitaLand Limited some time back. It then listed on the SGX-Securities Trading Limited on 20 September 2021, creating one of Asia’s leading listed global real asset managers. 

The firm looks at a diversified range of real estate asset classes including retail, office, lodging, industrial, logistics, business parks, wellness, self-storage and even data centres. That’s across core markets within Southeast Asia as well as in China and India.

As of the end of June 2024, the firm had S$134 billion worth of assets under management, as well as S$100 billion of funds under management held via six listed real estate investment trusts and business trusts, as well as a suite of private real asset vehicles that invest in thematic and tactical strategies.

In Southeast Asia, CapitaLand Invest manages three funds including the S$1 billion CapitaLand SEA Logistics Fund as well as the firm’s inaugural wellness and healthcare-related real estate fund called the CapitaLand Wellness Fund. But what will the firm’s focus areas within the region be going forward? 

On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Patricia Goh, Chief Executive Officer, Southeast Asia Investment, CapitaLand Investment.
