Surbana Jurong and Silk Road Fund to co-invest US$500m in Southeast Asia infrastructure fund

The fund will focus on greenfield projects in the region.

Surbana Jurong and China’s Silk Road Fund entered into a framework agreement to implement the China-Singapore Co-Investment Platform that will focus primarily on greenfield infrastructure projects in Southeast Asia.

The partners expect to invest about $681.02m (US$500m) over the next few years, with each partner investing (in principle) equal amounts in the projects. Investments of the platform could take various forms, including equity and debt.

This partnership was initiated and facilitated by Infrastructure Asia, a regional infrastructure project facilitation office under the Singapore government.

Surbana Jurong, which will invest through its investment arm, Surbana Jurong Capital, will leverage its familiarity with local markets through having offices in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries and recommend projects to the platform, and both partners will then jointly assess the suitability of the projects for investment.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
