Investments & Private Equity
Private capital has grown exponentially over the past decade, with estimates of up to $2.5 trillion held in dry powder; there is an imperative to deploy into Asia’s growth markets.
Kepler Search partners with not only our core Sustainability, Energy and Infrastructure funds but also Real Estate, Family Offices and MFIs. We support these funds in building raising teams using our local knowledge of Asia’s markets and network to select high performing fund managers, analysts, investment relations and back office. For clients entering Singapore from the Americas, Europe or even China and Japan, the understanding of local dynamics and market nuances is critical for success.
Once the investment team is in place, Kepler Search supports building portfolio management teams and mapping out local talent availability in target markets. Our network in Real Assets is a valuable support for any Alternatives Investor.
Digital Infrastructure
With 60% of global population and the fastest areas of economic growth, Asia is at the heart of the global digital transformation. The boom in cloud computing and advancements such as 5G, autonomous vehicles as well as digitized business and e-commerce has led to a huge demand for data centers, cell towers and other digital infrastructure.
Kepler Search have partnered with Developers, Investors and Operators as capital floods into high growth markets such as China, Indonesia and Vietnam, and the developed centers in Singapore, Japan and Korea seek to retain their data gravity.
Commonly our clients face challenges in building initial management teams for new countries, especially when they are up against competition from Hyperscalers and with uncertainties in the local talent pool. Kepler Search’s market mapping methodologies allow us to support them with niche skills such as Country Head, Site Selection, Commercial, Design, Business Development, Sustainability, Marketing, and Operations.
We have a track record in delivering roles from CxO level through VP, Director and Manager.
