Pentagreen Capital is a debt financing platform dedicated to accelerating the development of sustainable infrastructure in Asia. With an initial focus on Southeast Asia, we aim to contribute to the effort to mitigate and facilitate adaptation to climate change, and address sustainability challenges in the region.
Headquartered in Singapore, and with initial capital of US$ 150m provided by shareholders HSBC and Temasek, we aim to deploy over US$ 1bn over c. 5 years in blended finance to accelerate the implementation of marginally bankable and innovative infrastructure projects and business models.
Whilst there is abundant liquidity in the markets for sustainable and green assets, we believe that currently this capital is not flowing to parts of the market where it is needed the most. With the use of blended finance techniques we aim to channel capital towards the projects considered “marginally bankable” and unlock the barriers that prevent such projects from accessing finance.
Our target sectors include, but are not limited to, renewable energy and storage, clean mobility, water and waste treatment and circular economy. Additional areas such as climate adaptation, agriculture and land use, as well as technology-led solutions, could be included in the future.
Pentagreen’s strategic partners include the Asian Development Bank, which provides origination and technical support through its presence in countries throughout the region, and Singapore’s Clifford Capital Holdings, which provides operational support as well as project finance expertise.
We are seeking an energetic and resourceful intern to provide all the necessary support to our investment team in the origination and execution of blended finance transactions in the sustainable and green assets sectors.

- Performing research and analysis on relevant data (loan / bond pricing, renewable / clean transport / waste, water sectors, etc.)

- Building or review of financial models and performance of cash flow sensitivities
- Preparation of credit applications to seek approval for proposed financing commitments
- Assist in the loan documentation and Know Your Customer (KYC) process
- Monitoring and managing the investment portfolio
