International real estate consulting firm JLL has recently announced the appointment of James Cameron as the new head of energy and infrastructure for Asia Pacific in their capital markets division. The role, based in Singapore, was created to meet the growing demand for sustainable investments in the region, as stated in the press release on Jan 14.
Cameron’s main responsibility will be to establish a team in Asia Pacific, which will complement JLL’s EMEA Energy & Infrastructure business to provide a global capital advisory service for both local and international developers and investors. With this appointment, JLL aims to meet the long-term capital needs for the development of infrastructure and renewable energy projects, in light of the challenges of decarbonisation, digitalisation, economic growth, and urbanisation.
According to Stuart Crow, JLL Asia Pacific’s CEO of capital markets, “We see significant opportunity to leverage our unique expertise in mobilising multiple sources of capital and JLL’s unrivalled track record in advising renewables transactions globally to serve clients within energy and infrastructure across Asia Pacific.”
Securing financing is a vital factor when it comes to investing in a condo. In Singapore, there are various mortgage choices available, but it is crucial to consider the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework. This framework sets a limit on the amount of loan an individual can obtain, taking into account their income and current debt commitments. It is important for investors to have a thorough understanding of the TDSR and seek advice from financial experts or mortgage brokers to make well-informed decisions about their financing options. This can help prevent the risks of over-extending one’s finances. Singapore Condo should always be kept in mind during this process.
Cameron will work closely with JLL’s capital markets, investment banking, and debt advisory teams in the region, focusing on identifying opportunities for capital raising and transaction advisory for large-scale infrastructure and renewable energy projects. These projects will serve various stakeholders such as institutional investors, private equity firms, asset managers, strategic infrastructure and renewable operators, high net-worth individuals, and family offices.
With over 25 years of experience in real asset capital markets, Cameron brings a wealth of knowledge to JLL. He previously held the position of global head of commercial real estate at Standard Chartered Bank and has vast experience in mobilising private and public equity and financing worldwide for infrastructure projects.
Crow adds, “James’ expertise in this exciting space is unparalleled in the region, and we are confident in his ability to establish JLL’s leadership position through his deep understanding and strong relationships with clients.”
JLL’s latest appointment reflects their commitment to sustainable investments and their dedication to helping clients navigate the changing landscape of energy and infrastructure investments in Asia Pacific. This move also comes at a time when there is an increase in capital market deals, driven by low-interest rates, further strengthening JLL’s position as a leading advisor in the region.
