YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Deploying capital amid crowded regional opportunities
- Singapore’s AUM reached S$5.41 trillion in 2023, up 10% year on year, intensifying competition for scalable Southeast Asian assets and differentiated deal access.
- YCP combines market mapping, commercial diligence and local networks to sharpen investment theses, prioritize targets and build proprietary-origination pipelines.
Navigating softer funding and tougher valuation tests
- Singapore startups secured roughly US$4.8 billion in equity funding in 2024, yet later-stage rounds faced more selective investors and firmer valuation discipline.
- Against this backdrop, YCP aligns market sizing, unit economics and scenario-based valuation to help investors underwrite conviction and support portfolio fundraising.
Creating credible exit routes across fragmented markets
- About 76% of AUM managed in Singapore was sourced from outside the country in 2023, raising the bar for cross-border exit planning and buyer outreach.
- YCP evaluates strategic, sponsor and capital-markets routes, then prepares value-creation narratives, buyer maps and transaction-ready evidence for each path.
Meeting fund-structure and operating-substance demands
- Singapore’s 13D, 13O and 13U fund tax incentive schemes run until 31 December 2029, but each carries eligibility, governance and substance requirements.
- YCP translates these requirements into operating models, governance workflows and implementation road maps, coordinating commercial priorities with specialist advisers.

The Future of Eldercare in Singapore
Singapore’s rapidly aging population is driving a shift from residential to community-based eldercare.

Strategic Growth through Programmatic M&A of Small to Medium-Sized Companies in Southeast Asia
