Sun Venture
Founded in 2006 by Chairman Ricky Au, Sun Venture operates as a privately held investment firm headquartered in Singapore. Au previously incorporated Legend Investment Holdings in Hong Kong, and the firm reflects a disciplined, long-horizon approach to capital deployment across multiple asset classes. Sun Venture's strategy spans fund of funds, private equity, and real estate, with a geographic footprint weighted toward Singapore, London, and Sydney. In private equity, the firm invests through fund commitments and direct deals, with Jeremiah Tay leading direct investments after holding roles at Affirma Capital and Standard Chartered. Confirmed real estate holdings include 1 & 2 New Ludgate and 120 Moorgate in London, 50 Miller Street in North Sydney, and multiple Singapore commercial properties — 71 Robinson Road, Westgate Tower, and levels 8-11 of Samsung Hub. The firm's leadership team blends investment and operational backgrounds: Head of Investment Yueh Pyng Chiang previously served at Temasek and Deutsche Bank, while Partner Hsien Chuan Yang brings experience in Taiwan real estate and industrial manufacturing. Sun Venture participates in the Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore (REDAS) and was recognized as a Company of Good with 3 Hearts for 2025–2027. A recent operational marker: by mid-2025, the firm maintained its undisclosed capital base while actively managing a geographically concentrated direct property portfolio alongside private equity exposure. Sun Venture's structural distinction lies in its hybrid posture — it operates neither as a pure family office nor a traditional institutional fund manager. The firm makes direct, concentrated bets on commercial real estate in gateway cities while simultaneously allocating to external private equity funds, a configuration offering permanent capital flexibility without the redemption pressures of a fund structure.
