Sustainable assets

---

 Initiatives in ASEAN and the Asia Pacific region to convert energy generation to go green have been hampered by lack of bank financing alternatives.  We help our clients to issue securities backed by green projects like windfarms, solar power, biowaste-to-energy, and mini hydro power plants with secured cashflows from long term offtakes from strong credit scored counter parties.  

Large capital requirements to fund the green conversion of commercial real estate and other commercial assets like hotels, data centres and logistic centres particularly those owned by SMEs and small-capped owners. Securitisation enables democratisation of access to green commercial real estate and other commercial assets as bite-sized units increase affordability and facilitates ownership of multiple assets to tap into investments of the future.   

 To fund farming developments in agri/aquaculture and support supply chains to enable Singapore to achieve its objectives under the “Food Security 30 by 30 Plan".Securitization of cash flow rights from farming or food production and offered via digital securities to investors looking for long term growth potential of a sector with an ever-growing demand. 

Large capital and operating expenditures are required to fund these critical facilities in Asia Pacific as demand for such facilities increases over time with an aging Asian population. Asset valuations are expected to increase accordingly while providing strong current asset yields.

 Investors today want to align their investments with their personal and social values. Whether it’s tackling marine or water pollution, addressing climate change, alleviating poverty or helping more women break the glass ceiling, we are witnessing a rising demand for sustainable investments incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors. 

 The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted core sustainability issues, such as income inequality, insufficient medical care as well as disrupted global supply chains. As a result, sustainability is likely to be increasingly important for investors. 

 There is a growing body of ESG focused and sustainable investment related regulations globally. The sophistication and rigor of these regulations have also increased over time. Policies and regulations drive increased attention to sustainability factors in investments. 

 Traditional accounting based financial analysis is inadequate to cope with hidden risks and opportunities, which are very important to determine management quality and reputational risks. These ESG-related hidden risks and opportunities could create actual tangible impact on the performance of investment portfolios.
