“The past 2 years have seen unprecedented volatility, uncertainty and complexity, but South-east Asia and, in particular, Indonesia continue to present compelling medium to long-term investment opportunities,” said Patrick Walujo, co-founder and managing partner of Northstar Group.
The key investment focus for Northstar V will be in growth drivers like consumers, financial services, digital economy and Covid-19 recovery. The fifth fund’s portfolio includes “buy now, pay later” platform Atome’s parent company, Advance Intelligence Group, and business-to-business marketplace Ula.
“As these markets recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, their favourable demographics, increasing wealth and consumption, greater levels of education and further digitisation will drive out-sized growth,” said Walujo.
