    [SINGAPORE] Loh Chin Hua has big plans for Keppel. The asset manager is gunning to hit S$200 billion in funds under management (FUM) by 2030, while also tackling challenges such as climate change, the energy transition and digitalisation.

    Real estate used to be Keppel’s largest earnings contributor, but the company has evolved significantly in its transformation in recent years. The company’s latest annual report, released on Friday (Mar 28), gave an insight into Loh’s thoughts on a range of subjects – from artificial intelligence (AI) to environmental, social and governance issues.
