Singapore

Working with Maritime Capital from Singapore

Seven or eight hours of time difference sounds like a barrier until you see how much of the working day still overlaps.

What are the first steps?

Singapore overview

A first conversation with one of our Directors covers the family’s objectives, any UK property already held and how hands-on the family wants to be. We then agree our role, whether that’s acquiring, managing, refinancing or restructuring, and introduce the people who’ll work on your portfolio.

How often will we hear from you?

As often as suits the family. We agree a reporting structure at the start, weekly, monthly or quarterly, setting out how each asset is performing and flagging anything that needs a decision from you.

Is there a minimum investment?

We typically work with families and family offices holding UK property portfolios of £50m or more, or with that level of capital to deploy. We work with a select group of families, so senior people look after every one.

Our partners

How do you work across the time difference?

Singapore is seven hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time and eight hours ahead in winter. A 9am meeting in London is a 4pm meeting in Singapore in summer, so the family’s afternoon becomes our morning and decisions can be made the same day.

Who looks after our portfolio?

Our Directors are your points of contact. Toby Hunter has more than 30 years in commercial property investment, development and finance, including founding Waterbridge Group, which grew to around £300m of assets under management, and Max Hunter leads investment. They’re supported by Neil Jeeves as Head of Property and by the Maritime HQ team in Richmond, who handle the day-to-day management, accounting and reporting on every portfolio.

Your advisers

Will you work with our lawyers and accountants?

Yes. We work with the advisers you already trust rather than replacing them, and where you need UK specialists we can introduce partners we’ve worked with for many years.
