01 — Overview

What Lighthouse Canton does

Lighthouse Canton is a global investment business offering wealth and asset management for family offices, private clients, institutions, corporates and founders. Its wealth proposition combines investment advisory, discretionary portfolio management and family/business structuring with a network of banks, brokers and other counterparties. Lighthouse Canton Pte Ltd was incorporated in Singapore in 2014; the group also lists UK, UAE and Indian offices.

What a family office can use it for

The published wealth offer starts with asset allocation and investment advice, including hedge-fund and alternative-investment access. Portfolio management adds ongoing risk monitoring, stress tests, rebalancing and hedging, with a discretionary-management option. The distinction between advice and a mandate that delegates investment authority should be set out in the contract, along with permitted assets, limits and review responsibilities.

Business and family solutions cover wealth planning and structuring, intergenerational transfer, legacy governance and philanthropy, with specialist support for luxury assets and art. The company describes in-house expertise backed by external intermediaries and partners. Confirm who provides the legal, tax, trust or asset-specialist work; a broad wealth-planning relationship does not establish that one legal entity performs every regulated or professional service.

For family-owned operating businesses, the separately described financing offering includes receivables purchases, short-term facilities and structured long-term debt aimed at SMEs and mid-sized companies. These facilities require their own borrower, risk, jurisdiction and commercial assessment; they are not an automatic entitlement under a family-office wealth mandate.

Custodian choice, reporting and company scope

Lighthouse describes a network of private banks and prime brokers and says clients can choose custodians across geographies. That is different from asserting Lighthouse itself holds every client's assets. Its website describes access to partner-bank and managed-portfolio information, with technology intended to improve reporting and operational efficiency. The reviewed material does not establish the full bank/integration coverage, independent security testing or a standard service-level agreement.

The client page reports more than USD 6 billion of assets under management and advisory combined. It is an undated company statement, not independently verified discretionary AUM, and is kept as a combined metric. The contact page identifies actual office addresses across Singapore, London, Dubai and several Indian cities. Its separate marketing banner's office total does not match the count of contact entries; the named locations are more useful than treating that banner as a verified current total.

Eligibility and commercial considerations

The website's Singapore terms specify Accredited and Institutional Investors and explain that products and services depend on jurisdiction. They also state that Lighthouse Canton Pte Ltd may receive fees, commissions or other benefits from third parties in relation to its advisory/consulting activities. A buyer should therefore request the contracting entity, investor eligibility, fee proposal and third-party remuneration disclosures rather than treating alignment-of-interest positioning as proof of fee-only advice.

A universal numeric client minimum, full fee schedule and standard onboarding timetable were not established in the reviewed pages. The practical first step is to describe the family's asset mix, desired decision authority, reporting and cross-border needs through the published enquiry route, then obtain entity-specific documentation. The relevant leadership below distinguishes group management, India/UAE or Greater China wealth roles and global asset management.

Frequently asked questions

Can a family office choose its own custodian?

The company describes a network of private banks and prime brokers and says clients can choose custodians across geographies. Confirm the available institutions and how account, reporting and investment-authority arrangements work for the proposed mandate.

Does Lighthouse offer discretionary portfolio management?

Yes. Its wealth page explicitly lists discretionary portfolio management alongside investment advisory and risk monitoring. The contract should define which decisions are delegated and the investment limits.

Is the USD 6 billion figure all discretionary AUM?

No. The reviewed website labels it assets under management and advisory combined. It is undated and company reported; it should not be presented as independently verified discretionary or family-office-only AUM.
