Who We Are / How We Work / Private Equity​

Private Equity​

North-East Private Equity is a Singapore-based company whose major investors are the owners of the North-East Family Office. The company was established in 2015 in recognition of the significant growth- and investment potential in Southeast Asia.

The company invests in Asian private equity in a portfolio diversified by geography, stage and sector. It focuses on primary commitments to private equity and co-investments.

North-East Private Equity invests across the entire region. We are currently roughly equally invested in Australia, India, Southeast Asia, Korea and Japan. In terms of sectors, we take a generalist approach, but we tend to focus on mid-market funds targeting a single market, such as a Vietnam fund rather than a pan-Asia fund.

What really distinguishes North-East Private Equity is that we have monitored almost all of our managers for several years. It is their proven track record, their ability to generate value in their portfolio companies and manage through cycles which ultimately decides our commitment. This approach in turn leads to trusted relationships and corresponds well with our other prerequisites, which are shared values and alignment of interests.

We keenly study potential managers’ strategy for future market opportunities, and we recognize the importance of the quality of the management team. With these elements in mind, we believe that we are best suited to capture the energy and growth potential of one of the world’s most fascinating and dynamic regions.

Personal Strategies

It is a common, human experience to be able – at least in retrospect – to identify turning points in life. Situations, where your life took a new direction and fundamental priorities shifted. These turning points are just as often the result of an inner resolve as of external circumstances. At North-East we work together with our families to develop personal strategies to navigate these turning points and ensure that the goals and dreams of our families become real.

My North-East

We have developed and maintain a unique reporting and analysis platform, My North-East. The platform delivers timely data-driven insight to our families and for our internal decision-making. My North-East includes all relevant data sources and provides an unmatched level of detail ranging from investments to philanthropy.

Asset Management

North-East Family Office Asset Management was founded in 2017 and handles North-East’s investments and, potentially, a nearly endless variety of investments, depending on the preferences of each family.

Healthcare​

Investments in healthcare are of strategic importance to us. At North-East we believe that the healthcare sector is tremendously promising as many significant, structural changes in the world influence the demand for healthcare products and services and will continue to do so in the decades to come.

Digital Technology

Digital technology is a strategic investment area at North-East. We strive to put digital at the core of our business operations wherever it makes sense, and to us, running a business in the digital age means using digital capabilities both to improve the outcome for our families and to increase operational agility.

Philanthropy Toolbox

In accordance with the priorities of our families, North-East is committed to breaking new ground within the realm of philanthropy. It is essential to our purpose of helping our families fulfil their potential and support their ambition to lead meaningful lives. We have a holistic approach to deploying resources and capital, and we design interventions and partnerships that best address the issues which matter to our families.

Private Organizations

Our families reside all over the world and often it is preferable to have a private organization nearby, working closely with both the family and North-East on a daily basis. The private organizations might be established previously or founded on our initiative and working seamlessly together with North-East.

Corporate Services

To fulfil the wishes of our families and deliver bespoke solutions, North-East operates and acts within a wide variety of corporate and organizational structures. Because, to put it colloquially, you cannot buy a package deal at North-East.

Sustainability

North-East is committed to creating a continuous positive impact in an ever-changing world. This commitment requires us to embrace sustainability as a cornerstone of all our activities. The quest to discover the far-reaching potential impact, both positive and negative, of an entity such as North-East is a source of inspiration as we strive to develop the necessary prerequisites, in terms of frameworks and structures, for an efficient, timely and proactive approach to this complicated area.

Cyber Security

In an increasingly digital society we become more vulnerable to cyber threats ranging from fraud, extortion, and espionage to cyber-enabled physical threats.

Venture

North-East has a strong focus on venture investments. Within the trends and transformations that North-East and the families have identified as strategic they are expected to contribute significantly to the portfolios' returns and at the same time serve as a window to the future.
