The firm will expand the geographical business reach of both firms, into Switzerland and parts of Europe, the UK, Middle East, India and Southeast Asia.

Lighthouse Canton and Blue Sail Partners have formed a strategic cooperation, using Lighthouse Canton's reach in Asia, India, the Middle East, and the UK. 

Blue Sail Partners, a Swiss single-family office and advisory firm, will work with Singapore-headquartered Lighthouse Canton to address an increasing need for sophisticated financial solutions and cross-border advisory services.

The partnership will enable both companies to jointly deliver enhanced cross-border capital advisory services, which includes originating mandates in advisory, debt, fund, and capital raising transactions within their respective jurisdictions, Lighthouse Canton said in a statement.

“Our partnership with Blue Sail Partners AG represents a significant milestone in our global growth strategy,” Shilpi Chowdhary (pictured), group CEO for Lighthouse Canton, said. “We're creating a powerful platform to bolster investment banking and capital advisory services for clients globally.”

Founded in 2014 and with $3.7 billion in AuM as at 30 June 2024, Lighthouse Canton has been busy, for example announcing a number of appointments within its wealth management business to expand client coverage from North Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe. Besides Singapore, it has booking centres in Dubai and India and London. Globally, it employs about 160 people.

Blue Sail Partners is headquartered in Zug.

In November last year, Lighthouse Canton issued a white paper on the venture debt sector. This news serviced interviewed Shilpi Chowdhary late last year.
