Aglaia Family Office
Aglaia Family Office opened in 2006 under Stephen Hunt and Gavin Tan. Heinrich Jessen joined as co-founder and brought the connection to the Jebsen & Jessen Group. The firm supplies investment management and governance services to more than thirty families. Aglaia allocates across private equity, real estate, private credit, hedge funds and infrastructure. It executes direct co-investments and SPVs alongside fund-of-funds commitments. Confirmed positions include Proof & Company. The portfolio spans Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania. Early-stage, growth and late-stage opportunities receive equal attention. The team maintains offices at 137 Market Street in Singapore. Additional vehicles cover global mixed-use real estate and a private-credit sleeve. Philanthropic commitments run through the Asian Women’s Welfare Association, Magic Bus Foundation and Singapore Children’s Society. Heinrich Jessen served as past chairman of the YPO Intercontinental Chapter. Aglaia separates the Jessen family operating company from the investment platform. This separation allows external families to access the same governance and risk framework without direct exposure to Jebsen & Jessen industrial assets.
