    WHILE there is “quite a bit of work to catch up” on in the second half of the year, CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) has a healthy balance sheet, well-balanced fee income contributions and is keeping its powder dry to take advantage of opportunities that arise.

    Speaking at an earnings briefing on Thursday (Aug 11) morning, group chief executive Lee Chee Koon said that apart from capital recycling, the property investment manager will continue to focus on the execution of its fund strategies.

    Meanwhile, contributions to its fee income are now fairly evenly split across its 4 key sectors of new economy (business parks, logistics, industrial and data centre), lodging, office and retail.
