CIG Corp, the boutique wealth management firm that caters to affluent investors, has established a new healthcare private equity fund, CIG Capital Partners.

The new fund focuses on investment opportunities within the healthcare sector, including services, medical products, and information technology. A key component of the investment strategy, the company said, is to take an active role in each of the firms within the portfolio.

"The objective of [the fund] is to achieve above-average returns by investing in healthcare companies that we believe can deliver cost-effective services and products and have the ability to gain market share in their segments," Yusuf Hai, vice president of business advisory services, said.

The establishment of the fund supports the global trend toward non-conventional assets as investors try to steer clear of bank-linked products. Other potential wealth creation channels investors are looking into are the yacht industry, aviation, and gold.
