SVCA Family Office Committee

The Family Office Committee sits inside the Singapore Venture & Private Capital Association, the industry body for private capital in Singapore. Its stated aim is to foster a peer-to-peer community of family offices with the participation of both family principals and family office executives.

Who takes part

Family principals and the executives who run their offices, specifically those active in venture and private capital.

The committee's stated intention is to be a neutral collaboration platform for sharing deal flow, references and knowledge. The word neutral is worth pausing on. SVCA's wider membership is the private capital industry itself, meaning the fund managers who raise money from family offices, so a committee that positions itself as neutral ground within that association is drawing a deliberate line between the family office community and the managers around it.

The committee is led by co-chairs drawn from the family office community rather than by association staff, which supports that positioning.

How access works

Participation runs through SVCA membership and engagement with the committee. SVCA does not publish membership categories or fees on the committee page, so both come from the association directly.

That indirect route is the main practical friction. This is not a membership you join in its own right; it is a committee within a larger body, so the first question is what SVCA membership itself costs and what category a family office falls into.

What members get

Family-office-only roundtables are the core offer, alongside curated events and educational resources, with the committee drawing on SVCA's wider networks to expand the community.

The family-office-only qualifier is what makes it worth the indirect access. Singapore has no shortage of events where family offices are present alongside managers, banks and advisers. A closed roundtable inside the private capital association is a different setting, and the association's convening power is greater than a standalone group could manage.

For a family office in Singapore already active in venture and private capital, this is a sensible complement to the Global-Asia Family Office Circle and the Caproasia community listed in this directory. Those are family office organisations first; this is a seat at the table where the private capital industry organises itself, which is a different kind of access and useful for different reasons.
