About · Our Firm

We are building the next private capital market.

EVIDENT originates and structures private market opportunities, deploys its own capital alongside its partners, and provides the liquidity these markets have always lacked. End to end, on digital rails.

Why we exist

Private markets need a new operating model.

For decades, private markets have run on infrastructure never designed for the scale and pace they have reached. Capital is allocated efficiently and exited slowly. Liquidity is scarce. Administration is fragmented and manual. Counterparty discovery is limited to who you happen to know.

EVIDENT is building the model that replaces it: a full-stack market that originates, structures, distributes, and provides liquidity, end to end. It runs on two foundations: blockchain as a new system of record, and AI as a new system of orchestration.

We bring to it the conviction of a principal investor and the intellectual depth of a research-driven practice. We hold house views, and we back them with our own capital.

Our view

What we believe.

Private capital markets are being rebuilt from the ground up. This is how we see it — and why EVIDENT is built the way it is.

01
The next decade will change everything.
The next ten years will rewire private capital markets, powered by two technological revolutions arriving together: blockchain and AI. The incumbents were built for the system that is ending. The firms that will define the one replacing it are being built now.
02
Private belongs in every portfolio.
The traditional 60/40 balance of public equities and bonds no longer delivers the diversification it once did. Holding private assets is no longer only a question of returns; it is also a question of risk. What held private markets back was never their investment case - it was the operational reality: illiquidity and slow, manual processes. Real-time infrastructure changes that by enabling more frequent rebalancing and creating a place for private assets in a much broader range of professionally managed portfolios.
03
Liquidity makes the market.
For wealth participants, private positions are hard to manage: secondary liquidity is scarce, and too few participants provide it. It is the asset class's largest unsolved problem, and its largest opening. Liquidity needs two things: mechanisms to discover it, a question of infrastructure; and capital willing to provide it, a question of conviction. We are building both.
04
Alignment beats salesmanship.
The only honest signal in this business is skin in the game. We are principals: we take our own position in the opportunities we bring to our partners, and we invite them in beside us, on the same terms. Shared exposure, shared interest.
05
Investing should say something about you.
Backing private companies and infrastructure is how the builders and technologies of the future get funded. We call this investing with meaning: broader than any single cause or impact label. Investors increasingly want their capital in what matters to them, returning conviction and learning alongside performance. It is a privilege to back the next generation, help build vital infrastructure, and own a piece of the future.
Where we operate

We sit at the source.

EVIDENT is headquartered in Hong Kong, where the most dynamic private wealth and the most ambitious companies meet.

No. 1
Cross-border wealth hub.
3,300+
Family offices.
No. 1
Global IPO market by volume.

It is also where a generation of the world's most significant deep-technology companies, many born in China and operating globally, come to raise private capital. Capital is global, companies are global, and Hong Kong is where they converge.

We serve a global client base, focused first across Asia, the GCC, and Europe, where substantial private wealth remains underserved by private markets.

Global private wealth is deeply fragmented. Digital market infrastructure aggregates it, allowing capital to flow where it can have the greatest impact. When deal execution, counterparty matching, price discovery, and settlement all run on digital rails, truly global private markets become possible. That is what we build toward.

Licensing & structure

How we are built.

EVIDENT operates as a group of companies with clearly segregated responsibilities. Two licensed entities hold its core business functions:

Broker-dealer
Evident Platform Services Limited
Licensed to deal in securities. Conducts the firm's distribution and trading across primary and secondary markets.
SFC Licence CE No. BTR490 · Type 1
Verify on the SFC Public Register
Administrator & custodian
Evident Custody Services Limited
Operates fund administration, asset and investor services, and transfer agency in-house, distinct from the dealing entity.
TCSP Licence No. TC010776
Verify on the TCSP Register

EVIDENT holds its broker-dealer activities and its administration and oversight functions in separate licensed entities: a structural safeguard, familiar from traditional capital markets, that we built in from the start.
