GPCA Launches Inaugural Southeast Asia Women Investors Directory

NEW YORK, NY – The Global Private Capital Association (GPCA) announced the launch of its inaugural Southeast Asia Women Investors Directory, a groundbreaking initiative designed to raise the visibility of women investors across Southeast Asia, foster meaningful connections and track the growth of the women investor community over time.

Supported by Investing in Women, an initiative of the Australian Government, this directory highlights 365 women investment professionals actively deploying private capital across multiple asset classes, including private equity (PE), venture capital (VC), private credit, infrastructure, natural resources and real estate.

Of the 365 women highlighted, 132 are in senior-level roles, with 52% located in Singapore. Notably, 263 women—72% of the total—work in venture capital, underscoring the influence of gender-focused initiatives designed to boost female representation in this sector.

This initiative underscores the critical role women investors play in shaping the future of private capital in Southeast Asia, where the industry continues to evolve and innovate. By providing greater visibility and resources, GPCA and Investing in Women aim to drive meaningful change and further strengthen the region’s private capital ecosystem.

The Southeast Asia Women Investors Directory is a valuable resource for fund managers, institutional investors and stakeholders seeking to engage with and support women leaders in private capital. It will also serve as a platform to track progress and measure the impact of gender diversity initiatives within the industry.
