StoneWater Capital LLC is a specialized alternative asset management firm with a focus on Asia. 

The firm was founded in 2003 by former partners of Warburg Pincus, a global private equity firm.  The members of our team have significant public and private equity investment expertise, and extensive experience living, working and investing in emerging markets; in particular, Asia.

StoneWater’s investment strategy is to preserve and grow capital by investing through experienced managers based locally in Asia, who are committed to a “private equity in the public markets” investment philosophy.  Our managers have a long-term investment horizon, select securities based on deep, original, and often contrarian research, and manage concentrated, high conviction, “best ideas” portfolios. They effectively infuse their public equity investment strategies with a private equity mentality and discipline. 

StoneWater‘s principals have a competitive advantage in finding, evaluating, selecting, and working with such fundamental managers because of our experience as private equity investors and our ability to analyze portfolios on a security-by-security basis, as investors picking investors.

StoneWater Capital’s partners and their families have significant personal stakes in the firm’s funds, invested right alongside our clients’ assets.
