Affinity Equity Partners is thrilled to announce that we have successfully raised US$2 billion in our latest funding round—a milestone that highlights both the confidence that our investors have in our vision and the robust potential of markets across the Asia-Pacific region. As an independently-owned buyout fund manager, born from the formidable legacy of UBS Capital Asia Pacific and operating since our spin-out in March 2004, we have built a pioneering reputation in executing buyout investments and creating significant value. With over US$8 billion currently advised and managed across a diverse range of funds and assets, our track record of landmark transactions spanning nine countries with an aggregate transaction value of US$13 billion speaks volumes about our deep market insight and execution excellence.
This strategic infusion of capital will empower Affinity Equity Partners to further expand our investment portfolio, drive growth initiatives, and seize new opportunities in one of the fastest-growing and most entrepreneurial regions in the world. Our focus will be on deepening our involvement in economic restructuring and facilitating skills upgrading while continuing to foster innovation and sustainable business practices. The additional funds will also bolster our efforts in identifying compelling buyout opportunities, ensuring that we remain agile and responsive to shifting market dynamics. We are excited to use this success as a catalyst for further value creation and to build on our strong reputation as one of the largest independent financial sponsors in the Asia-Pacific region. This funding is not only a testament to our past achievements but also a significant step forward as we continue to drive impactful change in the markets we serve.
