GPCA is pleased to present its inaugural Southeast Asia Women Investors Directory, which aims to raise the visibility of women investors active in the region, foster connections and track the growth of the women investor community over time.
The effort is funded through GPCA’s partnership with Investing in Women, an initiative of the Australian Government. This directory includes 365 women investment professionals who are deploying private capital in Southeast Asia across multiple asset classes – including PE, VC, private credit, infrastructure, natural resources and real estate.
Out of the 365 women featured, 132 hold senior-level positions, and 52% are based in Singapore. Additionally, 263, or 72%, are in venture capital roles, likely reflecting the impact of gender-specific initiatives aimed at increasing female participation in the asset class.
Featured Women includes senior investment professionals who shared full profiles for inclusion in the Directory. All Women includes both senior professionals and emerging women investors active in the region.

Methodology
The Southeast Asia Women Investors Directory is a comprehensive listing of women private capital investors from firms actively investing in the region. The creation process began with identifying key firms in the region through desk research and nominations from prominent asset allocators.
The list predominately includes private capital fund managers, as well as principal investors, corporates, sovereign funds and development finance institutions (DFIs) co-investing alongside fund managers. Limited partners in Southeast Asia funds are also included.
To ensure consistency and clarity, the titles of the listed individuals were classified according to the following criteria. While most designations adhere to these guidelines, exceptions were reviewed and adjusted on a case-by-case basis:
▶︎ Partner/Founder/CEO: Includes partners, CEOs, CIOs, founders, co-founders, general partners and presidents.
▶︎ Venture Partner: Exclusively includes venture partners.
▶︎ VP/Principal/Director: Includes vice presidents, principals, directors, managers, associate directors, department heads, team leads and senior managers.
▶︎ Associate/Analyst: Includes analysts, senior analysts, associates, senior associates, investment professionals and investment fellows.
For each firm, the team collected data on women in investment positions, prioritizing senior roles such as partners, founders, CEOs and managing directors, while also identifying women in mid-level and junior positions like VPs, principals and analysts.
The list includes women based outside of Southeast Asia if the woman investor plays an active role in her firm’s investments in the region.
Featured Women includes senior investment professionals who shared full profiles for inclusion in the Directory. All Women includes both senior professionals and emerging women investors active in the region.
