CLI remains a key sponsor in both funds, driving growth through an asset-light strategy and maintaining strong alignment with its partners.

Group CEO Lee Chee Koon emphasized the vast potential of markets in SEA and India, driven by urbanization and supply chain digitalisation, and stressed CLI's expertise in sourcing off-market deals and delivering strong returns to investors.
