Keppel Achieves First Close for Sustainable Urban Renewal Fund
KEPPEL has achieved its first close for the Keppel Sustainable Urban Renewal Fund after securing "Korean institutional capital".
吉寶在獲得 “韓國機構資本” 後，首次關閉了吉寶可持續城市更新基金。
On Monday (Apr 8), the global asset manager and operator said this brings total funds under management in its sustainable urban renewal (SUR) strategy to over US$1.7 billion.
週一（4月8日），這家全球資產管理公司和運營商表示，這使其可持續城市更新（SUR）戰略中管理的資金總額超過17億美元。
The flagship fund invests in real estate and platform opportunities to create sustainable assets across real estate segments including commercial, living, life sciences, hospitality and logistics in Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Australia and first-tier cities in China.
該旗艦基金投資於房地產和平台機會，以在新加坡、韓國、日本、澳大利亞和中國一線城市等房地產領域創建可持續資產，包括商業、生活、生命科學、酒店和物流。
Through its SUR capabilities, Keppel aims to rejuvenate older buildings with green technology and incorporate green design features while redeveloping existing buildings that require a major overhaul or rebuild.
通過其SUR能力，吉寶旨在利用綠色技術使舊建築恢復活力，並在重建需要重大檢修或重建的現有建築物的同時納入綠色設計特徵。
The group said it is presently doing so for several projects in markets including Singapore, Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
該集團表示，目前正在新加坡、澳大利亞、中國、印度、日本、韓國和越南等市場的多個項目中這樣做。
The group also sees a "large addressable market of existing buildings to decarbonise", which in turn "presents compelling opportunities" for such a strategy.
該集團還認爲，“現有建築物的脫碳市場很大”，這反過來爲這種戰略 “提供了絕佳的機會”。
Asset enhancement and sustainability solutions offered by Keppel's SUR strategy includes renewable energy, energy and water saving solutions, as well as smart building controls.
吉寶的SUR戰略提供的資產增強和可持續發展解決方案包括可再生能源、節能和節水解決方案以及智能建築控制。
"Keppel's SUR strategy is a unique series of fund products designed to address the urgent call to decarbonise the world's built environment, with the aim of achieving both strong sustainability outcomes and good investment returns," said Christina Tan, Keppel's chief executive of fund management and the group's chief investment officer.
吉寶基金管理首席執行官兼集團首席投資官克里斯蒂娜·陳表示：“吉寶的SUR戰略是一系列獨特的基金產品，旨在應對世界建築環境脫碳的緊急呼籲，旨在實現強勁的可持續發展成果和良好的投資回報。”
"We look forward to contributing our expertise to our private funds to improve the operational efficiency and performance of the assets to meet evolving tenant demands," added Louis Lim, chief executive of real estate for Keppel.
吉寶房地產首席執行官Louis Lim補充說：“我們期待爲我們的私募基金貢獻我們的專業知識，以提高資產的運營效率和績效，以滿足不斷變化的租戶需求。”
The group does not expect its first close of the Keppel Sustainable Urban Renewal Fund to have a material impact on its earnings per share, nor net tangible assets per share, of its current financial year ending Dec 31, 2024.
該集團預計，其首次關閉吉寶可持續城市更新基金不會對其截至2024年12月31日的本財政年度的每股收益和每股淨有形資產產生重大影響。
Shares of Keppel ended S$0.02 or 0.3 per cent lower at S$7.30 on Friday.
週五，吉寶股價收盤下跌0.02新元，跌幅0.3％，至7.30新元。
