Where is the opportunity in Asia? And more importantly, where can it actually be converted into realised returns? That's the question we unpacked at the launch of the Vistra Friction Index: Turning Friction into Capital Flow (APAC PE/VC Edition 2026) — the first-of-its-kind study mapping both opportunity and operational friction across 15 APAC markets, based on a survey of 125 fund managers. Here's what the data and our practitioners reveal: ⚙️ The back office is now generating more drag than fundraising mechanics on the front end 🌏 Multi-jurisdictional structuring scores 0.59 — the highest on the CFO friction dashboard ⚠️ Governance is APAC's sharpest fault line — and it's not just about compliance 🔍 Even in Singapore and Malaysia, RPTs, weak internal controls, and inconsistent reporting remain baseline risks that growth GPs must tackle 💡 The solution? Get involved early, build governance from day one — not at exit Featuring: 🎙️ David Anderson, Executive Vice President, APAC, Vistra Fund Solutions 🎙️ Joji Thomas Philip, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, DealStreetAsia 🎙️ Andi Haswidi, Head of Research, DealStreetAsia 🎙️ James Tan, Managing Partner, Quest Ventures 🎙️ Johan Rozali-Wathooth, Founder & CEO, Bintang Capital Partners Asia remains highly investable — but the return bridge demands discipline, operational rigour, and governance from the very first day.
