The firm says that many investors in the Asia-Pacific region want to spread risks beyond traditional and domestic markets.

Energy Infrastructure Partners, an energy infrastructure investor, with €7.5 billion ($8.47 billion) in AuM, which focuses on the megatrends of decarbonisation, digitalisation and security, has opened a new office in Singapore. The official opening will be on 1 June 2025.

The office will tap into Singapore’s position as a hub and financial centre for serving institutional investors across APAC, including sovereign wealth funds, public and corporate pension funds and insurance companies.

Singapore is EIP’s fifth global office, alongside its two locations in Zurich (one of which is its headquarters) and a presence in Luxembourg and Frankfurt. 

“Many investors in APAC are actively seeking diversification beyond traditional asset classes and domestic markets, particularly into real assets that offer long-term, stable and inflation-hedged returns,” the firm said. 

“Our strategy of investing in system-critical energy infrastructure alongside leading industrial players fits well with the needs we see from clients in Asia-Pacific," Beat Goetz, EIP head of client solutions APAC, said. "Opening our Singapore office gives us the chance to work closely with them and increase access to our strategy and this special sector in the infrastructure asset class.” 

A number of asset managers – in some cases targeting the wealth segment – have stepped up their infrastructure game in recent years.
