Singapore PE Firm Mulls Wider Investment In Indonesia

Singapore-based private equity firm
Quvat Management is set to unveil its third private
equity fund with a focus on Southeast Asia,
BusinessWeek reports.
Led by former Farallon Capital Management executive
Tom Lembong, Quvat is poised to raise around $350 million for
Quvat Capital Partners III, whose investments will be mainly in
Indonesia, the news service said, citing unnamed sources. Details
on the move remain confidential.
Quvat has been investing in Indonesia, the largest economy in
Southeast Asia, since 2006. Its first and second raising
activities reportedly generated $150 million and $350 million,
respectively.
The region's private equity market has been attracting worldwide
interest after it showed resilience during the global financial
crisis. Figures from the Center for Asia Private Equity Research
reveal that $1.4 billion of PE investments had entered Southeast
Asia in the first half of 2010 alone.
