What Arcor Capital does

Helicap Pte. Ltd., headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2016, operates a curated private credit investment platform targeting institutional and accredited investors across Emerging Asia. The company addresses an estimated USD 500 billion regional financing gap by intermediating between capital providers and underserved borrowers — fintech lenders, SMEs, and non-bank financial institutions — through senior secured debt facilities, secured loans, preference share equity, and a flagship private credit fund. Helicap reports USD 800 million+ in cumulative investment volume, 600+ closed deals, and a presence across nine countries (Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos) plus Japan, with historical returns of 8-15% per annum.

The platform is built on proprietary credit analytics and risk management technology that screens and processes millions of raw data points from over 1,000 loan originator platforms to extract performance metrics and inform investment decisions. Products include the Helicap Investor Platform (a proprietary investor portal at investor.helicap.com), Helicap Investments (the credit analytics engine), a Flagship Credit Fund listed on ADDX, senior secured debt facilities, and impact-aligned offerings targeting financial inclusion, gender equality, health, and education. Revenue is generated through management fees, performance fees, and spreads on debt facilities facilitated through the platform, with minimum investment ticket sizes of USD 100,000-200,000 (or SGD 100,000-200,000) restricting access to qualified investors.

Distribution is direct-to-investor via the proprietary portal, supplemented by partner-driven channels such as the Crowd Credit alliance routing Japanese institutional capital into Southeast Asia, the ADDX fund listing, and referral programs. Institutional backers include Tikehau Capital, PhillipCapital, Kenanga Group, GMO, Credit Saison, Saison Capital, Voveo Capital, and SoilBuild, several of which hold board seats or are themselves registered clients on the platform. 2024 was a milestone year, marked by the company's largest credit facility to date (USD 50M with Xendit's XenCapital), the Crowd Credit partnership for USD 50M of Japanese capital access, and a USD 3M investment by GMO in the flagship fund.

Direct peers

• Funding Societies: SE Asia's largest SME digital lending platform operating in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Directly comparable to Helicap as it finances underserved SMEs and connects institutional investors with private credit exposure in the same Emerging Asia markets.
• Crowd Credit: Japan-based cross-border P2P and private credit platform connecting Japanese investors to overseas lending opportunities. Both a Helicap partner (USD 50M Japanese capital channel) and a direct comparator in cross-border private credit facilitation.
• Validus: Singapore-based SME lending platform backed by FMO and Saison Capital, providing working capital to underserved SMEs across SE Asia. Closely comparable to Helicap's SME financing deals (e.g., USD 6.7M senior secured debt to a SE Asia SME financing platform).
• Modalku (KoinWorks): Indonesia-headquartered peer-to-peer lending platform serving SMEs and individual borrowers. Operates in overlapping geographies and product lines (SME and consumer credit), making it a direct comparable to Helicap's origination profile.
• Akulaku: SE Asia digital consumer finance and BNPL platform operating in Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam. Comparable as a high-growth consumer-credit originator that Helicap-like platforms finance through senior secured debt or preference shares.
• Kredivo: Indonesia- and Philippines-focused digital consumer credit/BNPL platform serving underbanked consumers. Comparable to Helicap's consumer finance borrowers (e.g., Philippines digital consumer lending, Indonesia consumer finance platforms in the deal portfolio).

Others

• ADDX: Singapore-regulated digital exchange for private market securities. Listed a Helicap-managed private credit fund, making it an enabling infrastructure partner for Helicap's fund distribution rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Tikehau Capital: Global alternative asset manager (>EUR 40B AUM) and a Helicap board-level investor. Comparable as a broader private credit and direct lending incumbent whose expansion into SE Asia represents both a partnership opportunity and competitive pressure for Helicap.

Emerging players

• Aspire: Singapore-headquartered SMB finance and corporate card platform serving regional SMEs. Adjacent comparator as a digital SMB financing business overlapping with Helicap's SME financing exposure.
• Atome: SE Asia BNPL operator owned by Advance Intelligence Group, financing consumer instalment purchases. Overlaps with Helicap's exposure to instalment purchase financing (e.g., Singapore instalment purchase platform deal in the portfolio).
