Southeast Asia Women Investors Directory

GPCA launched the second edition of the Directory, which raises the visibility of women investors across Southeast Asia, fosters connections and tracks growth of the women investor community. The effort is funded through GPCA’s partnership with Investing in Women, an initiative of the Australian Government.

This directory includes 420 women investment professionals who are deploying private capital in Southeast Asia across multiple asset classes — including private equity, venture capital, private credit, infrastructure, natural resources and real estate — and features 39 women investors who have received promotions since last year’s edition.
