Triple P Capital

What Triple P Capital does

Triple P Capital is a Singapore-based private equity firm founded in 2014 by Alexander Krefft and David Steel that invests exclusively in Southeast Asian non-bank financial services businesses. The firm targets mid-market companies serving emerging consumers across Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand—a combined market of nearly 450 million consumers with approximately $300 billion in disposable income. Triple P requires a minimum investment of US$8 million, takes board seats, holds equity positions (common, preferred, or convertible), and typically remains invested for three to six years before exiting via friendly investor sales or public offerings.

The firm operates a portfolio of five companies spanning insurance, insurance technology, and debt restructuring: Forte Insurance (Cambodia's dominant non-life insurer with over 40% market share, also operating in Laos), GIC/Global Insurance Corporation (Vietnamese property and casualty insurer), MAAGAP (Philippine general insurer acquired in May 2024), Contemi (Pan-Asian insurance IT and fintech solutions provider with over 80 developers), and Amalan (Southeast Asian debt restructuring and financial wellness platform). Triple P's proprietary technology includes the ASPIRE framework for measuring financial inclusion and climate adaptation impact, aligned with UN SDG sub-goals and global standards (OPIM, GIIN, IRIS+), as well as centralized digital distribution portals deployed at portfolio companies such as GIC.

Triple P's revenue model is private equity transaction-based: the firm generates returns through equity investments in financial services companies, deploying capital alongside development finance institution partners (IFC, DEG, BIO, OP Finnfund) in consortium structures. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging three decades of professional networks across Southeast Asian regulators, managers, and shareholders. Beyond financial returns, the firm explicitly targets dual objectives of financial inclusion and climate adaptation, with quantified portfolio outcomes including 55,992 smallholder farmers covered through weather-index crop insurance and VND 56.9 billion in natural catastrophe losses covered in Vietnam in 2022.

Core offering

Triple P Capital is a private equity firm that invests in mid-market Southeast Asian financial services companies serving emerging consumers in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. The firm acquires equity positions (minimum US$8 million ticket) across common, preferred, convertible, or equity-related securities, takes board seats, and provides hands-on operational support including distribution expansion, digitalization, product enhancement, and management development over a typical three-to-six-year hold period before exiting through friendly investor sales or public offerings.

Product overview

Triple P Capital operates as a private equity firm focused on Southeast Asian financial services, not a product company with a unified platform architecture. The firm's portfolio consists of five acquired investment companies: Contemi (insurance/fintech IT solutions across Asia and Europe), Amalan (debt restructuring in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand), GIC (property and casualty insurance in Vietnam), Forte Insurance (non-life/life insurance in Cambodia and Laos), and MAAGAP (non-life insurance in the Philippines). These portfolio companies operate independently with their own products, customer bases, and technology platforms. Triple P Capital provides investment and strategic support rather than a consolidated product or platform.

Broad incumbents

• Affirma Capital: Southeast Asia and India PE firm (formerly Standard Chartered PE). Comparable in regional focus and mid-market approach, with established financial services investing track record.
• Baring Private Equity Asia: One of the largest Asia-focused PE firms. Comparable in geographic reach and financial services exposure but operates at much larger scale and broader sector mandate.

Direct peers

• LeapFrog Investments: Global PE firm investing in financial services for emerging consumers in Africa and Asia. Most direct comparable to Triple P given its insurance/financial inclusion focus and emerging-market consumer thesis; David Steel previously worked at LeapFrog.
• responsAbility Investments: Swiss impact asset manager investing in financial inclusion, climate, and SME finance across emerging markets. Comparable in target sectors (insurance, lending, payments) and emerging-consumer thesis.
• InsuResilience Investment Fund: Climate-insurance focused investment vehicle targeting climate-vulnerable emerging markets. Highly comparable to Triple P's weather index crop insurance and catastrophe coverage work in Cambodia and Vietnam.
• FMO (Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank): Dutch DFI investing in financial inclusion and climate across emerging markets. Comparable to Triple P both as a co-investor model (DFI capital) and as a direct investor in insurance and lending in similar geographies.

Regional players

• Creador: Southeast Asian PE firm focused on growth and control investments across consumer and financial services. Comparable in regional focus and mid-market deal size, though broader in sector.
• AA Development Capital: Mauritius-based emerging-markets PE firm with financial services exposure across Asia and Africa. Comparable in EM financial services thesis and growth-stage approach.
• TVM Capital Healthcare: Specialist emerging-markets PE firm with Southeast Asia focus. Comparable in niche thematic PE approach and emerging-consumer orientation, though focused on healthcare rather than insurance.

Others

• DEG: German DFI and existing Triple P consortium partner in MAAGAP. Comparable as a peer investor in Southeast Asian financial inclusion and a likely co-bidder or LP for similar deals.
