Keppel to drop conglomerate structure, sets US$150 billion assets target by 2030

In an effort to streamline and expand its operations, Singapore’s Keppel Corp. announced a significant business reform on Wednesday( May 3 ) by doing away with its company type and dividing itself into three special elements.

The company did rebuild itself into three businesses: account administration, investment, and operating platforms. Its operations range from data centers to renewable energy assets.

The operating base unit will combine its many current operations while the fund management business focuses on raising capital. Investment platforms will also make investment decisions.

According to Keppel Chief Executive Officer Loh Chin Hua,” this most recent reform represents a basic change in how we organize ourselves to function more agilely and use technology to develop quickly and level.”

A global other actual asset manager with great working capabilities in Infrastructure, Real Estate, and Connectivity, we are accelerating our transition from a diversified company to one integrated company.

The business, which has its origins in a small ship repair yard that was corporatized in 1968, claimed that the shake-up could lead to annual savings of between S$ 60 million( US$ 44.9 million ) and S$ 70 million by 2026.

With an interim goal of achieving S$ 100 billion worth of AUM by 2026-end, double what it had at the end of last year, Keppel also announced plans to significantly increase its assets under management ( AUM ) to S$ 200 billion( US$ 149.93 billion ) by 2030.

By the end of 2026, the company hopes to have monetized between$ 10 billion and$ 12 billion in total assets. Since the program was introduced in late 2020, it has already achieved plus commercialisation of S$ 4.9 billion as of the side of first third of fiscal 2023.
