About Navis Capital Partners

Navis was founded in 1998 in order to make private equity investments in growth-oriented buyouts in South and Southeast Asia. The firm contributes both capital and management expertise to a limited number of well-positioned companies with the objective of directing strategic, operational and financial improvements. The firm focuses exclusively on enterprises based in Asia, particularly South and Southeast Asia, where the principals of Navis have lived and worked for many years.

The firm manages several private equity funds, whose Limited Partners include a number of well-known US, European, Middle Eastern and Asian commercial and investment banks, pension funds, insurance companies, corporations, as well as a number of high net worth individuals and family offices. Navis has grown significantly since inception, and now has the largest private equity professional team in Asia, comprising 61 individuals, supported by 27 administrative staff, in seven offices across the region.

Navis’ first investment was made in 2000. Navis entered public equities investing with the launch of the Navigator Asia Fund in 2005. Navis participates in Cambridge Associates investment performance tracking survey and makes available its absolute and relative investment performance on request. The firm manages approximately USD3 billion in capital commitments.
