02 Our Story
Local investment capability. International access. Aligned capital.
Sixteen years of building access to frontier markets.
ACP Asset Management was founded in 2010 to invest across listed equities, private equity and fixed income, with a particular focus on Sri Lanka and frontier Asia.
From the outset, the firm combined on-the-ground investment research with an aligned capital model. Over the following sixteen years, ACP built the regulated structures required to connect that local capability with international capital — first through Singapore, followed by Australia and Switzerland, and most recently through a European regulated UCITS structure.
