Direct Investments & Investor Relations

Real Kaiten finances projects and procures downstream services out of its headquarter operations in Singapore. It works with reputable Singaporean and international financing institutions to make direct investments in construction and infrastructure, mainly in emergent markets.

At the same time, Real Kaiten opens doors of these high-growth markets to other private investors and private equity institutions keen on parallel opportunities that may or may not be linked to the Company’s own project investments.

Project Finance & Project Management Services
