Deals in brief: True Light Capital closes flagship fund, Roojai acquires DirectAsia, six China deals, and more

Sep 29, 2023

Bringing you the latest news briefs on fundraising activities in the Asia Pacific. According to Tracxn’s Q3 2023 report for Southeast Asia, the region has witnessed its lowest quarterly funding levels in half a decade. This marks a stark contrast to the region’s previous peak in Q4 2021, with funding steadily declining since then. Notably, the retail tech, insurtech, and automotive technology sectors have seemingly borne the brunt of this downturn, with funding in these sectors decreasing year-on-year by a substantial 66%, plummeting from USD 2.5 billion in Q3 2022 to USD 835 million in Q3 2023. What does this funding downturn signify for Southeast Asia’s startup scene? Let us know at: [email protected] . That’s all for this week. If there are any news or updates you’d like us to feature, you can also get in touch with us via the email above. True Light Capital closes USD 3.3 billion flagship fund for Greater China investments The Temasek-backed asset management unit has announced the final closure of its inaugural flagship fund, True Light Fund I, on September 28. The fund closed at USD 3.3 billion, with capital commitments from sovereign wealth funds, foundations, financial institutions, and family offices. True Light Fund I will invest alongside Temasek in high-quality opportunities that either have a strong connection to or a significant business association with the Greater China region. The fund will invest directly in private and public equity as well as indirectly through private equity and venture funds. It will employ a “theme-driven, multi-sector approach” and prioritize long-term investments while maintaining the flexibility to invest across the life cycles of its portfolio companies. Roojai continues expansion by acquiring DirectAsia from Hiscox The Thai online insurance company has announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire DirectAsia from Hiscox. DirectAsia’s Thailand business will be rebranded into Roojai Thailand, while its Singapore arm will retain its original brand. The acquisition is expected to have no impact on existing policies, claims processes, or customer service. This acquisition will expand Roojai’s market share, with its combined portfolio composed of over 400,000 vehicles insured in three countries and 300,000 individuals protected with its accident and health products. “DirectAsia and Roojai share the same vision of making insurance simple and bringing competitive prices to good drivers without ever compromising on customer service. The consolidation of the two companies into a single group will deliver synergies that will support our further expansion of the Direct Insurance model in Southeast Asia,” said Nicolas Faquet, founder and group CEO of Roojai.
