The organisation works for investors such as family offices, and was initially founded in the Netherlands.

Eastbound Equity, a global investment advisory and fund placement firm specialising in connecting Western and Eastern capital markets, is expanding into Singapore.

The firm, founded in Amsterdam, has set up a new office at 20 Anson Road, Singapore, to serve as a strategic hub for its Asia-Pacific operations, employing four full-time employees. An additional nine strategic global advisors are based in Dubai, Los Angeles, Lyon, Paris Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Tokyo with plans to expand into Sydney by 1 November this year, it said in a statement yesterday.

Eastbound Equity will use more than $50 million of capital across funds and primarily technology-focused businesses on behalf of the network. The investor base includes family offices with assets under management ranging from $100 million to more than $1 billion.

The founder and CEO of Eastbound Equity is Joep Uijttewaal.

The business said it wants to capture a growing share of the $100 billion annual capital raised by Asia-Pacific private equity funds (Bain & Company 2023).
