Our Journey
Assetscore 1618 SME Growth Fund was founded with a singular vision: to bridge the financing gap for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) around the world while delivering sustainable value to our investors. Our journey began in Singapore’s dynamic financial hub, where we recognized the critical role well-structured private credit can play in enabling SME growth and transformation.
Founding Principles
From day one, our philosophy has centered on rigorous risk management, secured lending, and a non-negotiable dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. We recognized that financial returns must be sustainable—rooted in ethical business practices, strong governance, and stewardship of environmental and social outcomes.
