Gaw Capital Partners, which has portfolio companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and China is now betting big on India and plans to make an entry in the domestic market.
The firm which manages assets worth $35.2 bn as of Q1 2022 was established in 2005 and is backed by Hong Kong investment guru and dealmaker Goodwin Gaw and his siblings Kenneth Gaw and Christina Gaw.
Gaw Capital Partners sees India as a big growth market for real estate and segments like logistics and date centres are attractive to them from a demand perspective.
In November 2021, Gaw Capital Partners announced the first close of its seventh Asia Pacific real estate fund, Gateway Real Estate Fund VII which mopped up $1.2 bn from investors including sovereign wealth funds, endowments, pension funds, and institutional investors.
Gaw Capital's investments span the entire spectrum of real estate sectors, including residential development, offices, retail malls, serviced apartments, hotels, logistics warehouses and IDC projects. In recent years, the firm has also started to invest in new areas such as prop-tech, medical tech, and education-related platforms.
