Keppel secures nearly $2b in capital commitments across three flagship funds

This brings Keppel’s FUM to approximately $4.9b.

Keppel Ltd. has secured close to $2.0b in capital commitments from global institutional investors across three of its flagship strategies.

The funds are Keppel Data Centre Fund III (KDCF III), Keppel Education Asset Fund II (KEAF II), and the Sustainable Urban Renewal (SUR) strategy.

The total brings Keppel’s funds under management (FUM) to approximately $4.9b.

KDCF III raised $786 m (US$580m) in its first close, targeting sustainable, high-performance data centres in Asia-Pacific, with a focus on hyperscale tenants.

KEAF II secured $413m (US$307m) from a mix of returning and new investors. The fund invests in education-related assets across the region.

The SUR strategy added $760m, including capital from a major European pension fund, bringing its total AUM to $4.3b. It focuses on decarbonising real estate while delivering strong returns.

Keppel said these developments are not expected to materially affect its earnings per share or net tangible assets per share for the current financial year.

Keppel CEO of Fund Management and CIO, Christina Tan, said the new capital reflects strong investor demand for alternative real assets aligned with macrotrends such as climate change, digitalisation, and urbanisation.

She added the company is on track to hit its interim FUM target of $100b by 2026.

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.
