Singapore— Global investment firm 65 Equity Partners (65EP) has announced the launch of its Alpha Vision Investment Program (AVIP), a forward-looking initiative aimed at empowering mid-market enterprises to scale internationally with sustainable, founder-aligned capital. The program marks a major step in 65EP’s evolution from regional investor to global partner — a role it fulfills with the strategic support of Temasek, Singapore’s sovereign investment company.
Connecting Local Vision with Global Reach
As growth capital markets mature, 65 Equity Partners stands out for its ability to combine local intelligence with global access. Backed by Temasek’s vast ecosystem — spanning 13 offices worldwide and nearly US $300 billionin assets under management — the firm leverages both institutional credibility and entrepreneurial flexibility to support founders navigating complex growth journeys.
“Entrepreneurs today need more than funding; they need partners who understand their ambitions and ecosystems,” said a spokesperson for 65EP. “Our mission is to provide that bridge — connecting vision to opportunity.”
The Alpha Vision Investment Program: Designed for Resilience
The Alpha Vision Investment Program (AVIP) embodies 65EP’s long-term belief that sustainable value creation requires foresight, flexibility, and founder alignment. Rather than pursuing short-term exits, AVIP focuses on building companies that can lead industries through transformation.
Its framework rests on three strategic pillars:
-
Empowered Partnerships: 65EP co-invests with management teams, aligning strategy and execution toward long-term operational excellence.
-
Global Pathways: Through its presence in Singapore, London, and San Francisco, the firm facilitates cross-border growth, strategic partnerships, and market entry opportunities.
-
Vision-Driven Capital: AVIP’s flexible financing approach — from minority equity to hybrid instruments — ensures that founders retain control while pursuing scalable growth.
The initiative takes its name from the concept of “alpha foresight” — anticipating shifts in markets and positioning portfolio companies to lead rather than follow.
Strengthening Asia Through MIB Collaboration
To deepen its regional footprint, 65 Equity Partners has entered into a partnership with MIB, a prominent Southeast Asian financial institution with strong roots in regional capital markets. The collaboration will include joint market research, growth-linked financing structures, and talent development programs.
This alliance underscores 65EP’s conviction that effective global investing starts with deep local understanding, particularly in fast-evolving markets such as Southeast Asia.
A Human Approach to Private Capital
In an industry often driven by spreadsheets and valuations, 65 Equity Partners emphasises the human dimension of investing. Its team refers to the firm’s model as “capital with empathy,” reflecting its commitment to partnership over transaction.
65EP’s founder-first philosophy is particularly relevant for family-owned and entrepreneur-led businesses in Asia and Europe, many of which face succession challenges and governance transitions. The firm provides tailored capital solutions that preserve legacy while unlocking the next phase of growth.
“We are not just investors; we are stewards of continuity,” said a senior executive from the London office. “Our role is to ensure founders can move forward without compromising the principles that made them successful.”
A Global Platform with Regional Strength
With offices across three continents, 65 Equity Partners combines regional insights with global scale.
-
Singapore anchors its Asian strategy, with a focus on Southeast Asia’s emerging champions.
-
London leads its European operations, engaging with long-established family enterprises and industrial innovators.
-
San Francisco connects 65EP to high-growth technology and healthcare sectors across North America.
This global-local balance allows the firm to match capital with opportunity wherever growth potential arises.
Targeting Structural Growth Across Key Sectors
65EP’s investment strategy centres on five sectors where innovation and transformation are reshaping markets:
-
Consumer & Retail: Investing in next-generation brands and digital commerce models.
-
Industrials & Sustainability: Backing industrial automation, clean energy, and efficiency technologies.
-
Business Services: Enabling productivity through workflow modernisation and data-driven platforms.
-
Healthcare: Scaling solutions in diagnostics, devices, and digital health.
-
Technology: Supporting enterprise software and AI-driven transformation.
These verticals align with AVIP’s broader objective — identifying long-term alpha in structural shifts such as digitalisation, sustainability, and demographic change.
Bespoke Capital, Built Around Founders
Unlike traditional private equity models that prioritise control or exit timelines, 65 Equity Partners adopts a flexible capital approach tailored to each company’s stage and ambition. Its financing structures may include:
-
Growth and expansion funding
-
M&A capital for industry consolidation
-
Shareholder reorganisation for succession planning
-
Balance sheet optimisation for financial resilience
This bespoke capital philosophy enables 65EP to respond quickly to opportunities while maintaining a multi-decade investment horizon.
Backed by Temasek: A Foundation of Trust and Reach
The firm’s partnership with Temasek, one of the world’s most respected long-term investors, provides a strong institutional foundation and a global network of relationships. While operating independently, 65EP benefits from Temasek’s governance standards, ESG principles, and strategic insight— ensuring that growth and responsibility go hand in hand.
Technology and Data as Strategic Enablers
65 Equity Partners integrates technology not only within its portfolio companies but also in its own investment process. Using AI-driven analytics, market sentiment tools, and data visualisation, the firm enhances decision-making and portfolio monitoring.
For portfolio founders, 65EP actively promotes digital transformation, enabling companies to modernise operations and harness data for smarter strategic planning.
Knowledge Sharing and Thought Leadership
Beyond capital, 65EP contributes to global investment dialogue through initiatives such as the Alpha Vision Forum and the 65EP Market Intelligence Brief (MIB). The upcoming 2025 Forum in Singapore will convene founders, economists, and investors under the theme “Resilient Growth in a Fragmented World.”
These platforms underscore the firm’s dual role as both an investor and a knowledge partner, helping mid-market leaders adapt to a changing global landscape.
Real Impact Across Borders
In recent years, 65EP’s approach has produced tangible outcomes. A European industrial automation company expanded successfully into Asia with 65EP’s support, while a U.S.-based healthtech firm accelerated its acquisition strategy using 65EP’s flexible capital solutions.
Such case studies illustrate the firm’s ability to translate cross-border vision into measurable results.
Culture, Values, and Leadership
At its core, 65 Equity Partners is guided by three principles — integrity, foresight, and collaboration. Its leadership team combines expertise from investment banking, corporate strategy, and operational management, united by a commitment to building enduring partnerships with founders.
Looking Forward: Building the Next Generation of Global Leaders
As global markets evolve amid technological shifts and geopolitical uncertainty, 65 Equity Partners believes that the mid-market will drive the next decade of growth. The Alpha Vision Investment Program is its blueprint for that future — combining long-term capital, cross-border connectivity, and human partnership.
“65EP is built on a simple conviction,” said the spokesperson. “When capital meets conviction, and foresight meets partnership, growth becomes sustainable — for founders, for industries, and for the global economy.”
