Keppel Securus Fund structure

Securus Data Property Fund Pte Ltd is a Singapore-resident Fund Company established by Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation (Keppel T&T) and AEP Investment Management (AEPim). AEPim and Keppel Data Centre Investment Management, (KDCIM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Keppel T&T are the Joint Investment Managers of Securus Fund with Keppel T&T and AEP Capital (AEPC) being the Fund sponsors (“Sponsors”).

Data Centre demand has been driven by the rapid rise of digitisation and the increasing importance of data with information-centric trends such as e-commerce, social networking and file sharing. Stringent data-related regulatory requirements and advancements such as cloud computing has especially increased the demand for quality Data Centre space.

The Securus Data Property Fund (Securus Fund) has been created to capitalise on this trend.

Each of the Sponsors has committed to seed equity in the Fund with Perbadanan Tabung Amanah Islam Brunei (TAIB) as the cornerstone investor of the Fund (“Cornerstone Investor”). The Fund is the world’s first Shariah-compliant data centre fund that combines the principles of Shariah capital with Singapore management expertise.

Investment Objective & Strategy
The Fund aims to generate opportunistic returns by investing in a high quality portfolio of income yielding wholesale Data Centre assets across its target markets, namely Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. It seeks to provide Investors with regular and stable distributions and achieve long term growth in the Funds Net Asset Value.

Fund Structure
The Fund is closed-ended and has been awarded the status of a Singapore Enhanced Tier Fund.

Having achieved its Initial Closing of US$100m on 7 June 2010, the Fund plans to raise further capital as required to support its growth plans
