Invest for a Sustainable Future

Impact Capital Asset Management

Established in August 2020, Impact Capital Asset Management Pte. Ltd. (ICAM) was conceived by seasoned professionals Deepak Mawandia and Atul Tetambe. Both have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience from their extensive tenures in the financial sector. In 2019, ICAM secured its RFMC license and subsequently introduced a technology-centric venture fund. By 2021, with the acquisition of its CMS license, ICAM witnessed steady growth in its assets under management. Presently, ICAM manages a portfolio exceeding USD 1 billion, diversified across various countries. Central to ICAM’s foundation is a commitment to offering a platform singularly dedicated to the best interests of its investor clients. The combined expertise of Deepak and Atul firmly establishes ICAM as a notable entity in the wealth management field.
