JOB DESCRIPTION
Keppel is a global asset manager and operator with strong expertise in sustainability-related solutions spanning the areas of infrastructure, real estate and connectivity.
The Keppel Associate Programme is a 2-year programme comprising job rotations, on-the-job training and leadership development opportunities, from which you will build critical business and operation skills, gain commercial exposure and acquire a professional network to embark on a fulfilling and rewarding career with Keppel.
This role sits within one of two core platforms: (i) Fund Management and (ii) Investment. The Fund Management platform focuses on capital raising and building strong, long-term investor relationships, while the Investment platform drives capital deployment decisions, evaluates investment opportunities, and manages portfolios to create value for our investors.
Together, these platforms aim to deliver sustainable returns through a diversified suite of products, including listed REITs and business trusts, as well as private funds investing globally across real estate, infrastructure, data centres, and alternative asset classes.
Throughout the 2-year programme, you will have the opportunity to take on at least one distinct and customised role, with exposure to cross-disciplinary assignments across both the Fund Management and Investment platforms. Rotations may include:
• Investment Management (Funds)
• Investment Management (REIT/Trust)
• Asset Management
This will provide hands-on exposure across the investment and portfolio lifecycle, including:
• evaluation and underwriting of investment opportunities
• financial modelling and investment analysis
• deal execution and transaction support
• ongoing portfolio monitoring, performance analysis, and value creation initiatives
You will be allocated to specific asset classes (Infrastructure, Data Centres, or Real Estate) based on (i) performance during the selection process and (ii) your demonstrated interests, enabling you to build both sector expertise and investment capabilities.
Beyond your core responsibilities, you will also participate in cross-functional and project-based assignments, gaining exposure to different aspects of portfolio strategy and execution. Upon successful completion of the programme, high-performing candidates may be considered for enrolment into Keppel’s leadership development programmes.
Job Responsibilities:
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate investment opportunities and interpret financial data
• Interest in investments, portfolio management, and financial markets
• Foundational understanding of valuation, financial modelling, and deal analysis (through coursework or internships)
• Numerical and financial literacy, with strong attention to detail
• Clear communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate investment insights
• Collaborative mindset and ability to work across internal teams and external stakeholders
• Learning agility and curiosity, with the ability to adapt in a fast-paced investment environment
• Commercial awareness, with an understanding of how investments generate returns and manage risk
Beyond the 2-year programme, you may look forward to enrolment into leadership programmes at Keppel should you meet the criteria.
Join our vibrant and inclusive workforce to shape a better future for all!
