First closing of TVM Capital Healthcare’s $150 M Southeast Asia Fund announced

The $150 million TVM Healthcare Southeast Asia Fund (SEA Fund) saw its first closing on Wednesday, according to TVM Capital Healthcare, a global private equity investor and operator that specializes in healthcare growth capital across emerging markets.

In a statement, the company said that the SEA Fund is the third generation of TVM Capital Healthcare funds and builds on its nearly 40 years of experience as a global healthcare operator and investor, including more than 15 years of growing healthcare businesses in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Leading specialty care providers and cutting-edge care models outside of conventional hospital settings that increase access and enhance the standard of healthcare delivery have been established by TVM Capital Healthcare in the past.

Invest International, a cornerstone investor established by the Dutch government and FMO to provide financing solutions to Dutch companies and international partners that promote sustainable economic growth and have a positive social and environmental impact globally, is among the many prominent institutional investors who have committed to the SEA Fund.

In underserved markets with high demand but limited supply, such as post-acute and rehabilitation services, women’s health, diabetes and cancer care, and local production of necessary pharmaceuticals, the TVM Healthcare Southeast Asia Fund will concentrate.

The fund reaffirms the healthcare industry’s resilience as an investment sector and its essential role in social and economic development by attending to these pressing needs.

Along with growing local specialty care clinics to become leaders at the national and regional levels, TVM Capital Healthcare also makes strategic investments in European and American healthcare innovators, guiding their growth into Southeast Asian target markets and forming cross-border alliances like those it has with top European medtech companies and US teaching hospitals affiliated with Harvard to help expedite the adoption of proven care models, cutting-edge medical technologies, and international best practices in local ecosystems.

The company’s model places a strong emphasis on global accreditations, operational partnerships, and strong governance frameworks, which help companies become best-in-class enterprises and help emerging market healthcare systems advance to new standards of care.

“This first close marks an important step in supporting Southeast Asia’s healthcare ecosystem and entrepreneurs,

“By combining capital with operational expertise and introducing proven healthcare models from around the world, we are helping to create companies that can lead nationally and regionally, improve access to quality care, and contribute to building sustainable healthcare systems,” said Hoda Abou-Jamra, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Southeast Asia, TVM Capital Healthcare.
