JLL believes that Cameron’s appointment is timely in light of the ongoing challenges of decarbonisation, digitalisation, economic growth, and rapid urbanisation. This new role will see him take on the task of mobilising private and public equity and financing across the global and regional infrastructure market.
Stuart Crow, JLL Asia Pacific’s CEO of capital markets, believes there is a significant opportunity for JLL to leverage its unique expertise in mobilising multiple sources of capital and its unrivalled track record in advising renewable transactions globally. He says, “We see significant opportunity to leverage our unique expertise in mobilising multiple sources of capital and JLL’s unrivalled track record in advising renewables transactions globally to serve clients within energy and infrastructure across Asia Pacific.”
Cameron brings over 25 years of real asset capital markets experience to his new role at JLL. Previously, he was the global head of commercial real estate at Standard Chartered Bank, where he was responsible for mobilising private and public equity and financing across the global and regional infrastructure market.

When investing in a condo, one of the most significant factors to consider is financing. Fortunately, Singapore provides a variety of mortgage choices for investors to choose from. However, it is crucial to have a good understanding of the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework. This framework sets limits on the amount of loan a borrower can take based on their income and existing debt obligations. To make informed decisions about financing and to prevent over-leveraging, it is advisable to work with financial advisors or mortgage brokers. Additionally, keeping an eye on new condo launches can also offer potential investment opportunities.
Going forward, Cameron will work closely with JLL’s capital markets, investment banking, and debt advisory teams across the region. His focus will be on origination of capital raising and transaction advisory opportunities for large infrastructure and renewable projects, serving a wide range of clients from institutional investors to private equity, asset managers, strategic infrastructure and renewables operators and developers, high net-worth individuals, and family offices.
Crow adds, “James’ experience in this exciting space is unmatched regionally and we’re extremely confident in his ability to establish JLL’s leadership position through his expertise and client relationships.” With the appointment of Cameron, JLL is set to strengthen its position as a leading advisor in the energy and infrastructure market in Asia Pacific.
