Keppel Ltd. M1: From Privatization to Divestment, What Has Keppel Achieved?

By Tan Yee Peng

  • Keppel’s sale of M1 to SIMBA generated a lot of interest. However, the most important question goes unanswered: Did Keppel make money since the privatization of M1 in 2018?

  • Keppel has been reticent about this question, which is odd as this goes to the heart of Keppel’s Vision 2030 transformation plan: to be a global asset manager with Funds Under Management of S$200 billion.

  • Keppel has insisted that its operating capability differentiates it from other money managers such as Blackstone, Brookfield, KKR, Carlyle, TPG, etc. Connectivity is a main business unit of Keppel, and M1 has been a key business within this vertical.
