\nSC Capital Partners, a\u00a0Singapore-based private-equity real estate firm, is looking to fund-raise USD1 billion in early 2017. This is in response to a stronger clamour worldwide for real estate and other assets riskier than bonds, whose yields have dropped to record lows.
\n\u201cThere are a number of office buildings, hotels and other properties in the region which have potential for good investment returns,\u201d SC Capital chairman and founder Suchad Chiaranussati told Bloomberg. \u201cWith a low-yield environment, most of our existing investors have expressed a strong desire to participate in the next fundraising.\u201d
\nSC Capital has around USD5 billion in holdings, which include hotels, beach villas, and office buildings in Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, among other countries. The firm is particularly keen on the growth of hotel properties in Japan, after tourist arrivals reached 14 million this year, according to the Japan National Tourism Organisation.

\nHowever, \u201cit\u2019s much harder to acquire hotels in Japan at attractive prices compared with when we first invested there right after the tsunami-earthquake incident in 2011,\u201d Suchad noted.
\nGovernment bonds have sold at negative yields at auctions in countries such as Japan and Germany. Similarly, the 10-year Treasury note in the US plummeted to a record low in July.
\nFitch Ratings reported that global investors are foregoing more than USD500 billion in annual interest income on around USD38 trillion in outstanding sovereign debt. \u201cCash flow benefits have effectively been transferred from global investors to sovereign issuers, as sovereign borrowing costs have dropped in response to central bank monetary stimulus,\u201d the ratings agency stated last month.
