CBC Group

What CBC Group does

CBC Group is a healthcare-dedicated private investment firm headquartered in Singapore, founded in 2014. It operates as a specialist asset manager providing private equity and private credit capital to companies across pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, healthcare infrastructure, and life sciences in the Asia-Pacific region. The firm serves institutional limited partners globally, deploying capital through closed-end funds and direct investment platforms.

The firm's core offering is healthcare-focused fund management, including a $500 million private credit fund closed in October 2025 that provides debt financing to healthcare and life sciences companies. Underlying capabilities are sector-specialist: accumulated deal-sourcing networks, due-diligence expertise, and portfolio-operating support built over more than a decade in Asian healthcare. The technology layer is described as a healthcare-focused asset management platform without disclosed proprietary AI or digital tooling.

Revenue is generated through conventional asset management economics — recurring management fees on AUM plus performance fees on fund returns. The firm raised $230 million alongside Korea Investment Corporation in March 2026 for a Korean bio R&D platform, and in May 2026 signed a definitive agreement to merge with UK-based GHO Capital. Post-merger, the combined entity will manage over $21 billion in AUM across 13 offices in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, covering approximately 90% of global healthcare R&D spend, and will be co-led by Founder Fu Wei and GHO Co-Founder Mike Mortimer. The merger is expected to close in early 2027.
