Calvin Ng

Managing Director at Aura Group

Speaker

I am a co-founder and Managing Director of Aura Group, a USD$1b multi-strategy alternative asset management and wealth platform operating across Australia, Singapore and Southeast Asia. Within Aura I head the Private Equity division based in Singapore.

I have also founded and exited numerous other businesses in the financial and professional services space including mortgage aggregator Finsure (sold to MA Financial in 2022), 1300 Home Loan (exited to Resimac Limited) and Aura Partners Australia (exited via MBO). My work sits at the intersection of capital allocation, platform building and governance.

Alongside and as part of my executive role, I serve on boards within banking, consumer, fitness, fintech and philanthropic organisations, including regulated financial institutions, where I focus on risk oversight, capital strategy and long-term value creation.

I am particularly interested in:

- Structuring aligned capital for growth-stage and cash-generative businesses
- Southeast Asia as a long-term compounding region for private capital
- The convergence of traditional finance, digital assets and tokenised infrastructure
- Building scalable investment platforms with durable balance sheets

My approach is long-term, partnership-driven and grounded in disciplined underwriting rather than momentum. I value clarity over complexity and substance over noise.
