Eagle888: Bridging Global Capital and APAC Real Assets
Anurag Thukral, CEO
As APAC’s real asset markets continue to mature, global investors are increasingly seeking pathways to secure stable returns in this fragmented region. However, the complexities of navigating diverse regulatory regimes, cultural nuances, and market volatility often create barriers for institutional capital to enter with confidence.
This is where Eagle888 shines.
By positioning itself as a hybrid investment manager and developer, the firm effectively bridges these two needs. It drives internal transformation to stay ahead of market dynamics while integrating global capital with local real estate opportunities.
Under the leadership of CEO Anurag Thukral, Eagle888 combines deep market expertise, a strong governance framework, and hands-on local execution to mitigate the risks that deter international investors. Its unique approach not only addresses the gap between institutional capital and local market potential but also ensures that every investment is built on a foundation of integrity and sustainable growth.
Thukral says, “We have always believed that the real value of investment management lies in being both visionary and grounded, seeing far, yet building strong foundations.”
Eagle888’s leadership brings together an extraordinary blend of engineering, legal, and financial expertise. Thukral himself embodies this fusion. A Fellow and Chartered Professional Engineer with a Master of Legal Studies in Commercial Law, he has managed portfolios exceeding $20 billion and led landmark public infrastructure and housing initiatives in Australia. His credentials, which include AFSL Responsible Manager designations, RG 146 Tier 1 competencies, and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) candidacy, reflect a deep understanding of governance and risk, both crucial for navigating APAC’s complex investment environment.
This multifaceted background translates into a full-spectrum service model that covers sourcing, due diligence, structuring, development, asset management, and exit strategy. Each stage is executed with meticulous governance and institutional discipline. From uncovering off-market deals and conducting legal and environmental stress tests to managing construction oversight and optimizing property performance, Eagle888 ensures every aspect of the investment lifecycle aligns with its core values of Integrity, Gratitude, and Innovation.
The firm’s diversified real asset strategy includes student accommodation, build-to-rent projects, serviced apartments, and hotels. This diversification mitigates concentration risk and ensures steady yield-plus-growth returns. Its deep local insight and regional reach help investors navigate zoning laws, ownership regulations, and tax-efficient structures, which are factors often overlooked by foreign capital.
