ARA Asset Management closes US$325m deal with Asian sovereign wealth fund

The new fund will target regional assets.

ARA Asset Management, the manager of big-cap investment trusts including Suntec REIT, Fortune REIT and Cache Logistics Trust, has secured US$325m capital commitments for a new account within its private real estate platform.

The anchor investor for this fund is a premier Asian sovereign wealth fund. ARA will co-invest up to 5%-10% in this newly set up fund, which will be managed by its subsidiary ARA Fund Management (PIP)
Limited.

According to a report by DBS, the fund will have an initial term of 10 years, with options to renew and upsize should ARA need more capital for future opportunities.

“We like this feature as it enables the group to build a scalable platform to grow and offers a steady stream of recurring fees to the group,” DBS said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
