Singapore-based impact investment firm Sweef Capital has marked its third anniversary with two new appointments to its Asia-Pacific investment team.
Sweef Capital Managing Director, Ms Jennifer Buckley, said the hiring of two new analysts underlined the firm’s confidence in the Asia-Pacific and the potential to support more local companies to deliver financial and social value. Their specialist knowledge and local market expertise, she said, would enhance Sweef Capital’s ability to identify and capitalise on investment opportunities in Vietnam and Indonesia.
Investment analyst Mr Lam Truong joins the Sweef Capital team in Ho Chi Minh City, bringing a fresh perspective to developing deal pipelines, assessing and executing transactions, portfolio management, and expanding networks in Vietnam. Mr Truong previously worked as an Associate for Deals Advisory Services at PwC in Vietnam, where he undertook financial due diligence engagements for numerous M&A transactions, identifying key underlying financial issues and their implications for target companies across industries such as healthcare, education, technology, and commercial leasing. These experiences hone Mr Truong’s analytical skills and deepened his understanding of Vietnam’s M&A market and investment management landscape.
Sweef Capital’s Indonesia team has been bolstered with the the arrival of investment analyst Mr Gede Arya, based in Jakarta. Before joining Sweef Capital, Mr Arya gained extensive experience in management consulting, financial advisory, and early-stage start-ups across industries including mining, marine, healthcare, and e-commerce. In these roles, he contributed to business planning and strategy as well as operational excellence projects. At Sweef Capital, Mr Arya is focused on building deal pipelines, evaluating and analysing deals, and collaborating with portfolio companies to drive value creation in Indonesia or facilitate market entry.
Sweef Capital is focused on building a strong regional presence, supported by a global network of advisors that includes specialist experts and country advisors who provide coverage across key disciplines and geographies.
