Keppel Core Infrastructure Fund (KCIF) is an open-ended, evergreen fund that invests in the highly defensive core infrastructure space.

KCIF seeks to deliver a stable yield with long-term sustainable returns by investing in high quality Investments with predominantly contracted, regulated, established and/or stable revenues. Leveraging Keppel’s expertise and deep operational insights, the Fund will focus on the economic and social infrastructure, energy transition infrastructure and digital infrastructure sectors across developed markets in Asia Pacific.

Responsible Investment Policy

ESG is at the heart of KCIF’s investment process. We integrate best practices that the Fund is benchmarked against across the life cycle of the assets, from deal origination to deal execution and asset management. Prior to each investment, the Investment Manager will conduct a rigorous due diligence of all relevant ESG issues by engaging external and established advisers. Independent parties are also appointed as part of the overall governance for the Fund.

KCIF’s strategy on achieving financial returns are strongly focused on investing in economic and social infrastructure, energy transition infrastructure and digital infrastructure in a responsible manner, with an aim to:

• exclude investments in companies that breach the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact;
• ensure all investee companies have good corporate governance, as well as abide with local laws and the Keppel Supplier Code of Conduct; and
• improve investee companies’ or projects’ ESG performance
