Lighthouse Canton introduces wealth platform for non-resident Indians
Lighthouse Canton has launched Global Indian, a wealth management platform targeted at non-resident Indians and overseas investors.
The new platform brings together reporting across jurisdictions, cross-border wealth structuring and a single advisory relationship covering both offshore and India-based holdings, as well as associated tax and regulatory matters.
Access deeper industry intelligence
Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
It is intended to address both sides of the India capital corridor.
The Singapore-based investment house identifies the Indian diaspora as the world’s largest, numbering around 35 million people.
For NRIs and other international investors, the platform provides access to Indian markets through the group’s regulated entities in India and in GIFT City IFSC, which operate under IFSCA rules.
For resident Indian investors, the platform offers access to overseas diversification through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme and GIFT City structures.
At the same time, Lighthouse Canton has set up a systematic global equities fund in GIFT City, giving Indian investors a regulated and tax-efficient way to invest in international equity markets.
Global Indian links the firm’s regulated operations in India and GIFT City with its wider international set-up in Singapore, Dubai and the UK.
The platform is backed by Keenai, the company’s proprietary wealth technology system, which handles portfolio analytics, lifecycle management, combined reporting across markets and access to a digital investment marketplace.
Lighthouse Canton Global Indian India CEO and managing director Sumegh Bhatia said: “NRI families frequently hold substantial wealth that is diminished in practice by fragmentation, as no single institution is accountable for the complete picture.
“Global Indian has been designed so that a family resident in Dubai or London, with assets in Mumbai and Singapore, engages with one team, one consolidated view of its wealth, and one coherent set of decisions.”
Alongside Sumegh, the leadership team for Global Indian includes Sunil Garg and Abhay Laijawala, global and India chief investment officers; Sanket Sinha, MD and CEO, global asset management; Prashant Tandon, MD and CEO-UAE; and Gurjeet Sohi, MD and head wealth management, India.
