IFM Investors opens SG office for Asian private markets growth

The asset manager targets regional deal origination and institutional capital.

Australian-based IFM Investors has opened its Singapore office in a bid to expand private markets business in Asia, focusing on diversified credit and institutional capital.

The asset manager said the new base will support local deal origination and execution across the region.

The expansion is also intended to help IFM pursue investment opportunities and attract capital from institutional investors, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurers.

The office opening follows a $159.3m (A$175m) commitment from Export Finance Australia to IFM’s Asia-Pacific private credit capabilities under the Australian Government’s Southeast Asia Investment Financing Facility.

The funding is aimed at businesses in Southeast Asia across industrials, manufacturing, services, renewable energy, telecommunications, and real assets.

The firm operates from 18 offices across Australia, Europe, North America, and Asia.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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