Investment thesis

Caygan Capital is a multi-strategy asset management firm serving institutional investors, operating from offices in Singapore and London with strong networks in Japan. Its core hedge fund products invest across credit, equity, and macro strategies, seeking to balance Carry and Convexity over the longer term. Alongside its liquid funds, Caygan channels profits into private early-stage companies tackling climate change, sustainability, and ageing-society problems — areas where it believes a persistent funding gap remains despite growing capital flows. Portfolio companies span clean energy, deep tech, agri-food, and digital health, reflecting the firm's conviction that the goals of investing and improving society are mutually beneficial.

Notable quotes

I concluded that the goals of investing and improving society were not mutually exclusive and in fact these goals can be mutually beneficial.

I was named as SVP of VC Investments for investing in startups that are developing technologies for a better future and tackling problems like climate change, sustainability, digital healthcare and our aging society.
