iGlobe Platinum Fund
The Platinum Fund targets investments in technology sectors where Singapore already has strong expertise or key infrastructure investments in place to aid the growth of various industry clusters. This is further enhanced by the iGlobe team’s expertise and expansive networks which add value to companies, leading to higher potential for attractive returns.
Platinum Fund will focus on three (3) main industry sectors:
- Wireless Technology/Mobile applications & Digital Media;
- Clean Technology: Renewable Energy, Water Treatment Technologies, Smart Power Management and Energy efficiency, Storage Technologies; and
- Special Opportunities: Semiconductor applications, Next Generation Materials and IT/Healthcare convergence.
The Platinum Fund invests in growth and expansion stage companies and in order to construct a balanced portfolio.
Our team will continue to leverage its global networks and relationships to seek opportunities that create synergies with portfolio companies within the iGlobe Fund Group.
We believe that using the various characteristics and pro business incentives of Singapore, whenever appropriate, it can be used as the Asian gateway in a well thought out Asian expansion or Globalisation strategy. Singapore can offer growth companies the following:
- Skilled and technology savvy labor force
- World class infrastructure
- Strong intellectual property rights system
- Stable business and political environment
- Consistent and coherent government policies towards business and growth companies
- Gateway to Asia: East meets West
- Quality of life for individuals and families
