Lighthouse Canton secured USD 40 million in a funding round led by Peak XV Partners.

The firm manages over USD 5 billion in assets across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the UK.

They plan to enhance technology infrastructure, hire senior experts, and broaden their product range.

Expanding in robust economic markets is a priority for Lighthouse Canton.

The investment aims to fuel growth while maintaining a personal touch and innovative approach.

Lighthouse Canton, the Singapore-headquartered global investment institution, has closed a major funding round worth USD 40 million, led by Peak XV Partners with participation from Nextinfinity. Long-time backer Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) also took part, continuing its commitment to the firm’s growth journey.

Since its founding in 2014, Lighthouse Canton has steadily built a solid presence across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the UK—now managing over USD 5 billion in assets. The company’s approach blends disciplined investment management with a strong client-first philosophy, targeting both individual wealth solutions and institutional-grade strategies across public and private markets.

What stands out about Lighthouse Canton is how it handles complex cross-border situations with a calm, methodical style that many clients find reassuring. I’ve chatted with a few founders here in Dubai who say boutique-like attention mixed with global reach is exactly what investors in the MENA region are craving. And I reckon they’re right—driving change here isn’t just about money, it’s about trust.

With this fresh funding, the firm plans to turbocharge its technology infrastructure, onboard senior experts, and expand its product range. Regional growth remains high on the agenda too, particularly in markets showing long-term economic stamina. “With Peak XV and our strategic partners, we are deepening our capabilities, institutionalising further, and positioning ourselves for the next decade of growth,” said Shilpi Chowdhary, the company’s Group CEO, in a statement.

That said, scaling across different geographies can be a bit of a faff—each market has its quirks, and regulation can make even the most confident investor sweat. Still, Lighthouse Canton seems bent on pairing scale with sophistication, aiming for innovation without losing its personal touch.

From where I stand at Arageek, seeing firms like this push forward across regions feels rather spot on. It reminds me why we started covering these entrepreneurial stories in the first place—to show that smart capital, when managed well, can energise ecosystems, not just balance sheets.

All in all, the USD 40 million boost gives Lighthouse Canton a stronger base to evolve its tech, talent, and product offerings while positioning itself firmly for the next phase of expansion. A definite sign, if you ask me, that the company’s sights are set far beyond its home turf—even if the road ahead may be a tad bumpy (but then, which good venture isn’t?).
