CLI acquires Australian investment firm Wingate for $173m

The acquisition will boost CLI’s FUM in Australia by over 30%.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) has acquired the property and corporate credit investment management business of Australian investment firm Wingate for $173m (AU$200m), plus an earn-out.

The acquisition will expand CLI’s private credit business and portfolio in Australia. It will also increase CLI’s funds under management (FUM) in Australia by over 30% to $8.3b, contributing 7% of CLI’s total FUM.

CLI currently manages 34 logistics properties and business parks, along with four Grade A office buildings in Australia. It also oversees more than 13,500 lodging units across over 150 properties under its wholly owned lodging business unit, The Ascott Limited.

“Wingate’s private credit capabilities complement CLI’s own private funds platform, and will enable us to collaborate to create greater value for our capital partners in Australia and beyond.  We see scalable private credit opportunities in other Asia Pacific markets, most notably in South Korea, India, and Japan,”  Paul Tham, group CFO of CLI said.

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.
