The fund intends to partner established school operators to invest in private education-related real estate in the Asia Pacific region and build a portfolio of stable assets in different education sub-sectors.
Keppel Capital Holdings has raised over half of its target commitments for its US$500 million ($679.7 million) Keppel Education Asset Fund through its wholly-owned subsidiary Keppel Capital Alternative Asset.
The fund, which is managed by Keppel Capital Alternative Asset, is a closed-end private equity fund that will focus on the fast-growing private education sector in Asia Pacific. The investors in the fund and its parallel vehicle include a sovereign wealth fund, an endowment fund and a family office.
