The Asian market has seen significant growth in private market maturity and limited partner (“LP”) interest in this area, and Lighthouse Canton anticipates this trend will continue.

“The venture ecosystem is crucial for us, aligning with our business strategy. While we aim to grow in both public and private markets, it's clear that private markets are growing faster”, shared Shilpi Chowdhary group CEO at Lighthouse Canton.

The numbers tell the story. As per EY Knowledge analysis private markets in Asia-Pacific have grown from USD 1.3 trillion in 2012 to around USD 4.7 trillion in 2023.?

Lighthouse Canton has adopted a co-investment strategy in venture capital and venture debt space.?This means that the company invests alongside its clients in specific opportunities, rather than simply advising or managing investments on their behalf. This ensures that the company and its clients have aligned interests. It also collaborates closely with subject matter experts from both its client and non-client networks to research and evaluate investments, ensuring clarity and confidence in the rigor of its diligence processes.?

Simultaneously, Lighthouse Canton assists companies seeking funding by leveraging this same network to provide industry expertise, valuable connections, and strategic advice to drive value.

“Though smaller, private markets represent new wealth, in contrast to legacy wealth.
