Aura PE Growth Income Fund

Lower mid-market companies in Southeast Asia can offer exposure to businesses operating in economies benefiting from rising incomes, urbanisation, digital adoption and expanding consumer demand. Many businesses in this segment are earlier in their growth journey than larger, mature companies, which may create opportunities for operational improvement, market share expansion and strategic exits over time. Compared with larger buyout transactions, lower mid-market opportunities may also face less competition and more attractive entry valuations. As with any investment, returns are not guaranteed and risks apply.

The Aura PE Growth Income Fund is intended for eligible investors only, including accredited, wholesale, sophisticated or institutional investors, subject to applicable laws and jurisdictional requirements. Eligibility may depend on factors such as investor status, assets, income thresholds and location. Prospective investors should review the relevant Information Memorandum and seek independent professional advice to determine whether the Fund is suitable for their circumstances.

Growth equity investing is a form of private equity that typically involves investing in established businesses seeking capital to expand operations, enter new markets, make acquisitions or accelerate strategic initiatives. These companies are often beyond the early start-up stage and may already generate meaningful revenue, with a pathway toward increasing profitability. Growth equity investments commonly seek to support business expansion while allowing existing founders or management teams to continue leading the company. Returns depend on business performance, market conditions and successful execution of the investment strategy.

The Fund is suitable for investors seeking exposure to an alternative asset class comprising investments in privately held companies structured via equity or equity-linked instruments. Such investors should be comfortable with the risks associated with investments into private companies (as outlined in the Fund’s Information Memorandum and Supplemental Memorandum) and the illiquid nature of the investment.

The Fund’s objective is to achieve a 20% IRR (net of fees and expenses) via minority and/or majority investments in privately held middle-market companies in Southeast Asia. We will aim to leverage our proprietary “Time Machine” investment strategy to identify key industries within emerging Southeast Asia with high growth potential based on historical trends in advanced Asian markets (e.g South Korea, China, India, Singapore), and target suitable companies for investment.

The Fund will primarily be focused on privately held companies with their core business located within emerging markets in Southeast Asia (i.e Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) and opportunistically in developing Southeast Asian markets (i.e Thailand and Malaysia).

The minimum initial investment is US$500,000 or lower at the fund manager’s discretion.

The Fund is not envisioned to make regular distributions prior to the end of its charter, but may make such distributions from time to time at the advice of the fund manager, depending on availability of income from sources, such as portfolio company dividends or exits.
