Enabling growth with deep asset class expertise
A clear strategic focus and investment discipline to source, execute and manage performing private credit opportunities with a compelling risk/reward profile for sophisticated international investors.
Focused Strategy
Our focus markets of India and ASEAN-6 are among the fastest growing large economies in the world. Established businesses within them have significant growth prospects but face a shortage of institutional and customized growth capital. We are focused on creating attractive investment opportunities that provide customized yet non-dilutive capital solutions to fund their ambitions.

A US$ 30-50 million EBITDA company represents a market-leading company with a robust investment profile and strong growth prospects in Asia
"Leading mid- and large-sized businesses are best placed to capture the growth opportunities available in the region because they’re often dominant output contributors in a majority of economic sectors. Emerging trends in technology, energy transition, and financial inclusion provide significant impetus to their advancement and put them at the forefront of the growth in these markets."
