OCBC rolls out $550m private equity fund, sets sights on Asian SMEs

HNWIs are looking for high-growth firms.

OCBC is riding on the growing demand for alternative assets with the launch of its $550m private equity fund.

The Lion-OCBC Capital Asia Fund 1 was jointly established by OCBC Bank and its asset management subsidiary Lion Global Investors.

It targets high-growth small and medium enterprises in four core markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and China.

Among the fund’s investors were insurance companies, regional banks, sovereign wealth funds and high net worth individuals, including customers of OCBC Bank’s private banking subsidiary, Bank of Singapore.

This marks the first time OCBC, through its private equity investment unit Mezzanine Capital Unit (MCU), has created a private equity fund investing in SMEs.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
