    Aug 6 (Reuters) - Shipbuilder Keppel Corp Ltd KPLM.SI said on Monday a unit of its asset management arm had entered a memorandum of understanding with Australia's Vicinity Centres (VCX) to establish a private fund.

    The companies intend to invest in an initial A$1 billion ($739.40 million) portfolio of Australian retail properties currently owned by Vicinity, Keppel said in a statement, adding that the parties plan to manage the fund through a joint venture.

    Keppel Capital, which is Keppel Corp's asset management arm, will hold a 50 percent stake in the venture with Vicinity, and each party will hold a 10 percent equity stake in the fund.

    Keppel said Vicinity is expected to initially inject about A$1 billion of retail assets across five Australian states into the proposed fund, which is expected to close by the first quarter in 2019.

    Vicinity Centres was not immediately available for a comment.
