CapBridge offers investments into private equity from $5,000

‘Preferred Access’ will cater to those seeking to invest in unlisted private companies.

Financing platform CapBridge, in partnership with Australian investment platform Wholesale Investor, has launched a new financial product called Preferred Access which allows individual investors to access multiple private equity or venture capital investments for a minimum amount of $5,000.

The new products is designed for those who aim to invest in unlisted private companies for potential above-market returns. Preferred Access’ participants will be able to view all available investment deals on the CapBridge platform. When the target interest amount as set by the company raising capital is achieved, the investment in the company will be executed.

Private firms can also use the Preferred Access platform to raise capital.

"In recent years, we have seen demand from individual accredited investors for private investment opportunities. However, these private equity investments are typically exclusive and only available for investing at a large quantum. With Preferred Access, we want to bring such opportunities to the discerning individual accredited investor, at a ticket size that suit individual allocation preferences,” said Johnson Chen, founder and CEO of CapBridge.

The partnership with Wholesale Investor also provided CapBridge access to markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Australia.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
