Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Hong Kong, Stem Financial is a direct investment business that manages a combination of partner and third-party capital, with a primary focus on financial and professional services.
We are a high-conviction, hands-on investor in growth businesses, working in partnership with management teams on strategy, implementation, financing, and governance. Our approach spans the full spectrum of business development stages, from established institutions with decades of history to early-stage venture investments. What unites these investments is our commitment to our operating partners: we only invest alongside management teams who are receptive to strategic partnership and who share our principles.
That partnership extends well beyond the initial investment. We take a hands-on approach to portfolio management, staying deeply involved operationally wherever it’s needed to help a business grow. Underpinning all of this is a strong culture of transparency and collaboration — one driven by returns, not by the pursuit of assets under management.
