Gordian Capital rebrands as IQ-EQ across APAC
Singapore-based institutional fund platform Gordian Capital has completed its rebranding to IQ-EQ across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, marking the final step in its integration into the global investor services group nearly a year after the acquisition.
The firm, which IQ-EQ acquired in July 2025, will now operate solely under the IQ-EQ brand across all client and market-facing activities. The rebrand had been planned since the acquisition was announced.
Founded in 2005, Gordian Capital is regarded as Asia-Pacific’s first institutional cross-border fund platform. The firm has launched more than 115 funds across private and public market strategies and currently manages approximately $22 billion in assets. Its clients include institutional asset managers, hedge funds, family offices, and corporates investing across private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and long-only strategies.
The combined business now offers regulated fund platform services across key financial centres, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Dubai, Luxembourg, Ireland, France, and the UK.
The announcement comes shortly after the business secured regulatory approval to establish operations in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), extending its presence in the Middle East.
FasterCapital adds Australia’s Volitio to startup support programme
Dubai-based venture builder FasterCapital has added Australian disability technology startup Volitio to its early-stage startup programme, LaunchUp, where the company will receive operational support as it prepares to scale its on-demand care platform for participants in Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The collaboration is aimed at helping Volitio strengthen its product development, compliance framework, and go-to-market strategy over the coming months as it transitions from a minimum viable product to a commercial platform, the companies said in a statement.
Founded by Moses and Victoria Olufokunbi, Canberra-based Volitio operates an NDIS-registered marketplace that enables families to search for, compare, and book disability support workers while managing scheduling and NDIS billing through a digital platform.
Under the LaunchUp programme, FasterCapital will work with Volitio on platform architecture, security, and regulatory compliance, while helping the startup refine its customer acquisition strategy and fundraising readiness. The programme provides execution and business support rather than direct investment.
