Global investment institution Lighthouse Canton has successfully raised $40 million in a strategic funding round, primarily led by Peak XV Partners, with contributions from Nextinfinity, an investment holding company associated with Shyam Maheshwari, a founding partner of SSG Capital, which has since evolved into Ares SSG. Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) was also an early investor in the company.
This marks the first external fundraising initiative for Lighthouse Canton, and the newly acquired capital is intended to bolster technology infrastructure, attract senior talent, expand product offerings, and tap into growth opportunities in high-potential markets.
Founded in 2014, Lighthouse Canton currently manages more than $5 billion in assets across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the United Kingdom.
Shilpi Chowdhary, Group CEO of Lighthouse Canton, remarked, “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.”
Lighthouse Canton’s wealth management division offers personalized wealth solutions for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and family offices. Its asset management branch provides institutional-grade investment strategies across both public and private markets.
