Malaysia-headquartered private equity firm Creador has closed its sixth fund at $930 million, exceeding a $750-million target, according to its Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

“Yes, correct. We closed sixth fund at $930 million, exceeding a $750-million target,” Brahmal Vasudevan told TNGlobal.

According to earlier reports, Creador V was closed above target on $700 million in December 2022.

Since its inception, the firm has raised $3.1 billion from a diverse group of global investors, including prominent corporations, foundations, family offices, and institutions.

Besides Malaysia, Creador also invests in India, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, information from its official website showed.

Media outlets Private Equity International and Nikkei Group’s DealStreetAsia earlier reported the news.

This investment grants Creador an 18 percent stake in Asialink, alongside a seat on its board of directors.

Creador said it focused on growth capital investments in South and Southeast Asia primarily Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, India and also in Sri Lanka. These markets benefit from a young and growing population, lower but rising GDP per capita and a rapidly growing middle class, the company added.
