The fund management platform will focus on raising capital and strengthening investor relationships. The investment platform will drive capital deployment decisions and bring together investment and value enhancement expertise across the group. Finally, the operating platform will integrate all of Keppel’s existing business units under one platform, where the company will bring its engineering and project management expertise to bear and add value.
With seven years left to go towards Keppel Corp’s (SGX:BN4
) Vision 2030 plans, the group has embarked on its next phase to further transform itself into a global alternative real asset manager, not unlike the real estate investment managers that the local market is familiar with.
On May 3, Keppel announced that it would be removing its conglomerate structure and simplifying its organisation into a horizontally integrated model built around three platforms: a fund management platform, an investment platform and an operating platform. Keppel runs separate operations for its various business units in the energy and environment, urban development and connectivity fields.
