Lighthouse Canton Wins Dual Honours at Asian Private Banker Awards 2025

Lighthouse Canton has been recognised with two prestigious honours at the Asian Private Banker 15th Awards for Distinction 2025, cementing its position as a leader in independent wealth management.‍

The company secured Best Independent Wealth Manager – Singapore for the fifth consecutive year, demonstrating sustained excellence and institutional strength. Adding to this achievement, Shilpi Chowdhary, Group CEO of Lighthouse Canton, was named Independent Wealth Manager of the Year in the inaugural edition of this category.

Together, these recognitions reflect Lighthouse Canton's consistent leadership as a trusted wealth management partner and the visionary leadership that has shaped its growth over the past decade. As a relatively young institution carving out a distinctive position in the industry, its ability to align investment expertise with cross-border structuring, long-term capital stewardship, and institutional-grade governance sets it apart from traditional players within the global private wealth ecosystem.‍

Lighthouse Canton marked its tenth anniversary as a global investment institution in 2025 with several strategic milestones. Chief among these was securing USD 40 million in strategic capital from Peak XV, a leading private equity investor—its first external fundraise—to fuel its next phase of growth. In parallel, the company strengthened its global platform through targeted investments in technology infrastructure, senior leadership appointments, expanded advisory and capital solutions offerings, and scaled London operations. These initiatives collectively reinforce Lighthouse Canton's commitment to global coverage, regulatory rigour, and institutional excellence.

Commenting on the awards, Shilpi Chowdhary, Group CEO of Lighthouse Canton, said: "These recognitions are deeply humbling and reflect the trust our clients have placed in us. When we founded Lighthouse Canton, our intent was simple: to serve families and institutions with integrity and thoughtful, integrated solutions. What makes these awards meaningful is that they validate not just our approach, but the dedication of a team that has built this institution with resilience and purpose over the past decade."
