Gordian Capital

Gordian Capital provides a licensed, regulated fund platform — the legal, operational, and compliance infrastructure — for experienced investment managers and institutions running private equity, venture capital, real estate, private credit, infrastructure, hedge fund, and long-only strategies. It does not manage a proprietary portfolio or make direct investment decisions. Instead, it acts as the chassis that allows external managers to launch and operate funds across Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Dubai without building their own regulatory stack.

Effective July 30, 2025, Gordian Capital became part of IQ-EQ, a global fund services company headquartered in Luxembourg with nearly 6,500 employees and a presence in 25 jurisdictions (per the firm, July 2025). Prior to the acquisition, Gordian was independently owned by its founders — capital markets professionals and alternatives veterans active in Asia since the 1980s.

The platform supports private equity, venture capital, real estate, private credit, infrastructure, activist, hedge fund, absolute return, and long-only equity strategies. Gordian does not support crypto or digital asset strategies, as stated on its website.

Clients fall into three groups: experienced investment professionals in Singapore, Tokyo, or Hong Kong launching their first fund or a subsequent vehicle; large asset managers and multinational corporates needing complex, multi-jurisdictional investment structures; and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices seeking bespoke private wealth vehicles.

The firm operates from offices in Singapore (headquarters), Tokyo, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Shanghai, and Dubai. It holds licenses from regulators including the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), U.S. SEC, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA), Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), China's CSRC, and the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), among others.
