Nech Capital

What Nech Capital does

Nech Capital Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-licensed fund management company founded in 2017 by Neil Chan. The firm operates three core service lines — Hedge Funds, Private Assets & Fund Management, and Wealth Management — anchored by the Variable Capital Company (VCC) platform adopted in 2020. Its flagship is the Nech Opportunities Fund (NOF), a multi-strategy hedge fund launched in 2018 that applies a four-stage investment framework (Navigate, Evaluate, Compute, Hedge) to a 1,000+ company Asia-Pacific universe (ASEAN, Greater China, Japan, Korea, Australia), narrowing to roughly twenty final positions. Under Private Assets & Fund Management, the firm operates three additional sub-funds: the SEA Property Income Fund (Bali tourism property), the Stellaris Growth Fund (UK purpose-built student accommodation targeting 8-9% annual returns over 3-year periods), and the RABC Fund (private credit via bridge and invoice financing across Singapore and wider Asia). AUM aggregated across the platform reached S$300M+ by 2024, up from S$200M+ in 2021.

Nech Capital monetises through recurring management fees typical of hedge fund and alternative asset structures, supplemented by performance fees and carried interest on private market investments. The firm holds a Capital Markets Services (CMS) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) awarded in 2022 and complies with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012. Technology and quantitative tooling are described as computational portfolio analysis, simulations, and risk modelling, developed notably by portfolio manager Shuzhang Sun (UC Berkeley Applied Mathematics; ex-Phillip Capital quant trader and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab researcher). The firm employs approximately eleven staff at its single Singapore office at 3 Shenton Way.

Distribution is sales-led and direct: services are restricted to accredited investors, high net worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors only, with initial engagement handled via website form, phone (+65 6220 8900), and email ([email protected]). Senior personnel carry pedigree from Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, UBS, Credit Suisse, Rothschild, CIMB, OCBC, and DBS, with Sachin Daswani notably on the team that took Google public. The firm maintains an opinions/newsroom blog as its primary content channel. There is no disclosed outside equity ownership, no parent company, and no evidence of external institutional capital backing the operating entity.
