Gordian Capital Singapore is an institutional cross-border fund management platform established in Singapore in 2005 by capital markets professionals and alternatives industry veterans active in Asia since the 1980s. The firm provides regulated, physical, and operational fund infrastructure to experienced investment professionals, global and regional institutional asset managers, family offices, corporates, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking to launch and operate funds in Asia and the Middle East.

The platform supports diverse fund structures including unit trusts, limited partnerships, flow-through vehicles, managed accounts, and multi-currency funds across both liquid strategies (long only, long short, global macro, CTA, asset-backed securities, private credit) and illiquid strategies (private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure).

Gordian generates revenue through management fees, platform setup fees, and ongoing operational service fees charged to investment professionals and asset managers utilizing its regulated infrastructure.
