Clearstream Partners with Lighthouse Canton for Fund Execution and Custody Capabilities Across Asia and the Middle East

Lighthouse Canton, the Singapore-based global investment institution with operations across Asia and the Middle East, is partnering with Clearstream, Deutsche Börse Group’s post-trade services provider, to deliver fund execution and custody services.

The partnership marks a significant milestone in advancing fund distribution models designed to meet the evolving needs of investors across Asia and the Middle East. Through Clearstream’s Vestima platform – one of the world’s largest fund processing systems managing order execution, settlement, and custody for more than 245,000 funds globally – Lighthouse Canton will provide its wealth management clients with enhanced access to private market and semi-liquid investment opportunities.

The collaboration allows clients to benefit from institutional-grade infrastructure. The arrangement addresses growing investor appetite for alternative investments that combines operational efficiency, robust asset protection, and compliance oversight – features that are increasingly sought after by high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth investors exploring alternative asset classes.

The partnership is already operational, with initial trades completed.

Audrey Tang, Managing Director, Chief Operating Officer at Lighthouse Canton said: “This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering best-in-class fund servicing to our wealth management clients in Asia and the Middle East. Clearstream’s global reach and operational excellence allow us to enhance efficiency while expanding access to alternative investments, both of which are increasingly important in today’s market.”

Neil Wise, Global Head of Sales for Clearstream Fund Services, commented: “Clearstream’s well-established reputation for asset safety and robust, reliable fund processing capabilities were key factors in the mandate. Our secure and efficient infrastructure ensures the highest standards of asset safety and streamlined fund processing operations for all fund types. We are proud to support Lighthouse Canton in its mission to serve sophisticated investors across Asia and the Middle East and help drive its future growth.”
