Families, founders, and operating partners across eight markets, generating proprietary deal flow that other allocators rarely see.
A decade of proprietary technology.

From a technology lab to a global investment group.
Top-tier software house.
Founded as a top-tier software house, building enterprise-level technology for clients across Asia. The first generation of proprietary IP, compounded years before there was a fund, a venture builder, or an investment thesis.

The network is the platform.
Our principal advantage is that our partnership of family offices and founders goes beyond capital. Each IMS partner is a co-owner in the platform that drives investment success, all whilst contributing the deal flow, distribution, and co-investment capital that drives our growth.
One platform. Across cycles, not vintages.
Origination, underwriting, and operations on a platform we built.
The same operating discipline runs every division.
Origination
Origination comes from the network of our partnership. We focus on deals that are off-market, exclusive, exciting, or synergetic with our existing portfolio/activities.
Underwriting
Every position is priced on Cortex, the in-house platform built on a decade of operating data. The people setting the terms have run businesses in the same sectors they now underwrite.
Operations
Each portfolio company works with operating partners who bring distribution, customer relationships, and judgement earned in the same markets. The engagement is hands-on and continuous, rather than periodic.
Compounding
Capital, returns, and operating insight flow back into the partnership. Each cycle deepens the network that sources the next one.
At the core of every division lies our R&D engine.
IMS Labs is the Group's in-house engineering arm, built over a decade across software platforms, blockchain infrastructure, and AI systems. Every division and every portfolio company runs on the stack it produces, and the investment compounds as the technology underneath evolves.
