Lighthouse Canton raises $40 Mn led by Peak XV Partners

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). Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), an early investor, also participated. 

This is Lighthouse Canton’s first external fundraise and will be used to strengthen technology, expand product capabilities, add senior leadership, and scale operations across new regions.

Founded in 2014, Lighthouse Canton operates as a global investment institution with wealth management and asset management businesses. The firm 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 the asset management business offers strategies across hedge funds, private equity, real estate, private credit, venture capital, public markets, and macro.

The firm employs more than 200 professionals across Singapore, Dubai, India, and London and serves private clients and institutions with cross-border investment and advisory services. 

Earlier today, ChrysCapital closed Fund X at $2.2 billion, the largest private equity fund raised by an India-focused firm.
