Energy Infrastructure Partners Opens Singapore Office
With a team of industry veterans, the Singapore office will serve as a hub to deepen connections with institutional investors in the region, focusing on Japan and South Korea.
Swiss-based Energy Infrastructure Partners (EIP), an energy infrastructure investor focused on the megatrends of decarbonization, digitalization and security and 7.5 billion euros (around S$ 11 billion) under management, is expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) with the opening of a new office in Singapore, according to media release sent on Wednesday.
«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. 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,» Beat Goetz, EIP Head of Client Solutions APAC, said.
Opening in June 2025
The Singapore office will officially open on June 1, 2025. EIP’s local team has more than six decades of combined experience working with clients in the alternative investment space and more than four decades working specifically in the Asian market. Investors in the region, excluding China, manage a vast and expanding pool of assets worth around 16 trillion euros (almost S$ 23 trillion).
Singapore is EIP’s fifth office globally, alongside its two locations in Zurich and its presence in Luxembourg and Frankfurt. Leveraging EIP’s operational platform in Zurich, the local team in Asia will focus on fundraising and client servicing activities in the APAC regions in collaboration with licensed distribution partners.
Unique Profile
«As some of the sharpest investors in the world, institutional investors across Asia-Pacific understand the unique profile of the energy infrastructure sector and the enormous opportunity in this space over the next decades,» Peter Schümers, EIP partner, added.
After years as a trusted advisor to the energy industry, Roland Doerig founded EIP as a joint venture with Credit Suisse in 2014. Ten years later, the firm operates as a fully independent investment company owned by its management and team.
