MAKING A SPLASH IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Growtheum Capital Partners, a private equity firm established by Amit Kunal, former head of GIC's direct private equity investment group in Southeast Asia, is looking to raise USD 750m for its debut fund. A first close of approximately USD 400m has already been achieved, relying on commitments from corporates and high net worth individuals (HNWIs). It is a bold target in a Southeast Asia context. The fund would be the eighth largest ever raised in the region and the second-largest first-time vehicle - just shy of the USD 757m collected by Gateway Partners.
