Global investment institution Lighthouse Canton has raised $40 million in a strategic investment round led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from Nextinfinity (an investment holding company of Shyam Maheshwari, Founding Partner of SSG Capital, later Ares SSG). Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) is an early investor in the company. This is Lighthouse Canton’s first external fundraise, and the capital will be deployed to enhance technology infrastructure, attract senior talent, expand its product capabilities, and pursue geographic growth opportunities across high-potential markets. Founded in 2014, Lighthouse Canton is managing over $5 billion in assets across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the United Kingdom. “This is a defining milestone for us,” said Shilpi Chowdhary, Group CEO of Lighthouse Canton. “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 business provides personalised, family, wealth and business solutions for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and family offices, while its asset management arm offers institutional-grade strategies across public and private markets.
