Lighthouse Canton, headquartered in Singapore and managing over $5bn in assets, has secured a $40m strategic funding round led by Peak XV Partners.
The round also saw participation from Nextinfinity, the investment holding company of Shyam Maheshwari, Founding Partner of SSG Capital (later Ares SSG). Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), an early backer of Lighthouse Canton, reaffirmed its support in this latest round.
The capital raise represents Lighthouse Canton’s first external funding round and will fuel the company’s next stage of expansion. The funds will be used to strengthen its technology infrastructure, hire senior-level talent, broaden its product offerings, and explore growth opportunities across high-potential international markets.
Founded in 2014, Lighthouse Canton has established itself as a trusted global investment management platform, offering both wealth and asset management services. With operations across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the United Kingdom, the firm has built its reputation through disciplined investment strategies and a strong client-first philosophy, serving entrepreneurs, family offices, and institutions alike.
Lighthouse Canton’s wealth management division provides tailored solutions to high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and family offices, focusing on preserving and growing wealth across generations. Meanwhile, its asset management business offers institutional-grade investment strategies across public and private markets.
The newly raised funds will not only accelerate Lighthouse Canton’s digital transformation but also enable the firm to institutionalise its operations further, drive innovation, and expand its reach into emerging and established markets.
Lighthouse Canton group CEO Shilpi Chowdhary said, “This is a defining milestone for us. We have built Lighthouse Canton with an institutional mindset independently. For more than ten years we have been guided by a long-term vision of creating a world-class investment platform. With Peak XV and our strategic partners, we are deepening our capabilities, institutionalizing further, and positioning ourselves for the next decade of growth.”
This milestone funding signals a new era for Lighthouse Canton — one focused on scale, innovation, and institutional depth — as it continues to deliver long-term value to clients globally.
Recently, DealMaker, North America’s largest retail capital-raising platform, raised $20m in equity and debt financing led by new investor Information Venture Partners, with participation from existing backer CIBC Innovation Banking.
