Global investment institution Lighthouse Canton has raised $40 million in a strategic funding round led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from Nextinfinity — the investment holding company of Shyam Maheshwari (Founding Partner, SSG Capital / Ares SSG). Early investor Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) also joined the round.
This marks Lighthouse Canton’s first external fundraise, with the capital set to strengthen its technology stack, expand product capabilities, add senior leadership, and scale operations across new regions.
Founded in 2014, Lighthouse Canton operates as a global investment institution spanning both wealth management and asset management verticals. The firm currently manages over $5 billion in assets across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the UK.
Its wealth management division serves high-net-worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, and corporates, while its asset management arm runs strategies across hedge funds, private equity, real estate, private credit, venture capital, public markets, and macro.
With a team of over 200 professionals across Singapore, Dubai, India, and London, Lighthouse Canton is positioned as a cross-border investment partner for both private clients and institutions, combining global reach with local insights.
“We’ve built Lighthouse Canton on the foundation of trust, performance, and innovation — and this investment will help us scale that vision globally,” said a company spokesperson.
The fundraiser underscores growing investor confidence in India and Asia’s expanding wealth management ecosystem, as established players like Lighthouse Canton continue to bridge private capital flows across international markets.
