Best Independent Wealth Manager – Singapore
Charlene Lin
managing director, strategic growth (North Asia and Southeast Asia), Lighthouse Canton
When we founded Lighthouse Canton, our mission was clear: to serve families and institutions with integrity and clear guidance that helps them build wealth that lasts.
Being recognised for the fifth consecutive year by the Asian Private Banker reflects the trust that our clients have placed in us during their most important conversations — about succession, generational wealth, and what legacy truly means to them.
As we enter our next decade, this recognition reinforces our commitment to delivering long-term value with the same conviction and integrity that have defined us from the start.
Winners Rationale
“Singapore-headquartered Lighthouse Canton has grown into one of the most formidable institutional platforms in Asia’s wealth management sector, but also globally, successfully spanning multiple business lines across multi-jurisdictions, including Singapore, Dubai, India and more recently London, at an impressive pace”, said Asian Private Banker.
“From day one, Lighthouse Canton’s core differentiating factor has been clear: Delivering innovative investment strategies and comprehensive financial solutions to UHNW and institutional clients. A value proposition that the firm has delivered on for over ‘10 Years strong,’ and is looking to grow ‘10x ahead.’
“In 2025, the firm reached several significant milestones, from expanding into London, establishing a dedicated team in India and enhancing its tech capabilities, to concluding a US$40 million fundraise with Peak XV Partners and striking an innovative partnership with Clearstream, marking the first non-banking institution to collaborate with a clearing counterparty in Asia.
“Lighthouse Canton also achieved exceptional revenue growth and superior net new asset momentum during the period under review. Client assets grew significantly and were underscored by the firm’s high-growth strategy, centred on scaling up its client-facing team, to cater for the sophisticated needs of its core mega/family office and UHNW client base.
“Beyond people and platform expansion, Lighthouse Canton invested heavily in technology and integrated AI into its investment process, which led to a notable increase in client numbers. The firm further launched a number of highly successful private market strategies and new funds over the twelve-month period, delivering superior risk-adjusted returns and strengthening its foothold as a leader in high-quality investment opportunities.
“Lighthouse Canton has demonstrated remarkable leadership in investment capabilities, brand building, and digital agility in 2025, thus earning the highly sought-after Best Independent Wealth Manager – Singapore award. Congratulations to the outstanding Lighthouse Canton team, led by Shilpi Chowdhary!”
