GFTN Capital, the venture arm of the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), has partnered with Japan’s SBI Holdings and its Singapore-based subsidiary SBI Ven Capital to launch a $200-million fund to invest in growth-stage fintech ventures.
The fund will target global companies adopting technologies in artificial intelligence, digital assets, cybersecurity, and tokenisation, according to a company release.
Headquartered in Singapore, GFTN Capital is part of GFTN’s global network connecting innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers across more than 130 countries. The firm said the new fund will give investors early access to emerging fintech companies while providing portfolio firms with strategic support and access to industry stakeholders.
“GFTN Capital will give investors access to a global pipeline of high-growth fintechs, powered by GFTN’s network,” said Neil Parekh, deputy chairman of GFTN.
SBI Holdings executive vice president and director Nobuyuki Kawabata said the partnership will accelerate the growth of high-potential fintech firms and help unlock emerging technology opportunities worldwide. “Our goal is to build a more connected, resilient, and innovation-driven financial ecosystem,” he said.
GFTN Group CEO Sopnendu Mohanty said the collaboration represents more than just an investment initiative. “It advances our mission to align capital with innovation and purpose within a framework that fosters trust, inclusion, and sustainable growth,” he said.
GFTN was established by the Monetary Authority of Singapore in 2024 as a not-for-profit organisation aimed at bridging policy, capital, and technology to strengthen global financial systems.
