MAIORA

What MAIORA does

MAIORA Asset Management Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-headquartered global asset management firm founded in 2010 by former Deutsche Bank executives (Jason Block, Marzio Keiling, and Clay Kinney) with combined experience of roughly 80 years across structured finance, capital markets, and renewable energy investing. The firm operates three identified fund vehicles: MAIORA Asian Structured Finance Fund (mezzanine debt for Japanese commercial real estate, active 2012–2014 and recognized as a top-performing Asian debt fund in that period), MAIORA Renewables Fund 1 (closed Japan solar development fund that has returned over 6x investor capital since 2014), and MAIORA Renewables Fund 2 (open Taiwan utility-scale solar development fund targeting 1GW over five years with a 3–4x money target return). Beyond these named funds, MAIORA offers services across Structured Finance, Renewable Energy Investment (over 1.4GW invested globally, over 135MW in operations across four countries), Impact Investment (renewable energy, health, finance, ecotourism, conservation), and Private Equity / Venture Capital (Green Tech, Biotech, Health). The firm's go-to-market is direct institutional fundraising targeting large asset management firms, Asia-based multi-strategy funds, family offices, and high net worth individuals, with distribution conducted solely through the founding team's banking relationships and professional network rather than intermediaries or platforms. The business model derives revenue from fund management fees, structuring fees on bespoke transactions, and carried interest / performance fees, none of which are publicly disclosed. MAIORA operates offices in Singapore (headquarters) and Tokyo (research), maintains minority ownership and a board seat in the Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Enex Infrastructure Investment Corporation (Ticker: 9286.T, IPO'd February 2019 jointly with ITOCHU Enex, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, and Mercuria Investment), and holds an exclusive Taiwan development agreement with MAIORA Renewable Energy Pte Ltd (MRE). Headcount is stated in the 11–50 employee range; ownership remains private with no parent company, no external PE/VC investors identified, and no IPO plans evident.
