Lighthouse Canton Secures USD 40 Million Strategic Investment

Global investment institution, Lighthouse Canton, today announces a USD 40 million strategic investment round led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from Nextinfinity (investment holding company of Shyam Maheshwari - Founding Partner of SSG Capital, later Ares SSG). Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), an early investor in the company, continues to support its growth.

Founded in 2014, Lighthouse Canton has grown organically managing over USD 5 billion in assets across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the United Kingdom. Over the past decade, the company has built a reputation for disciplined investment management and a client-first approach that has made it a trusted partner for entrepreneurs, families, and institutions across regions.

This is Lighthouse Canton’s first external fundraise, undertaken to accelerate the next phase of its growth journey. 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.

“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 personalized, 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. Lighthouse Canton’s strong regional presence and focus on disciplined execution have enabled it to serve clients across complex cross-border environments with agility and trust.

This strategic funding marks a new chapter in Lighthouse Canton’s journey and one that focuses on scale, innovation, and institutional depth, while continuing to deliver exceptional value to clients.
