Quadria Capital Closes Oversubscribed US$1 Billion Fund III to Advance Healthcare Transformation Across Asia
SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Quadria Capital, Asia's premier healthcare-focused private equity firm, today announced the final close of its Fund III with US$1.07 billion in total commitments, significantly exceeding its original $800 million target.
The oversubscribed fundraise comprises over US$954 million in primary commitments and US$114 million in committed co-investment capital. An additional US$300 million co-investment capacity is anticipated over the course of the investment phase, bringing total committed capital to approximately US$1.3 billion upon full deployment.
This latest fundraise is around 60% larger than the firm's previous $600m fund raised in 2020, cementing Quadria's position as the largest dedicated healthcare private equity fund in South and Southeast Asia.
'Fund III's close, amid one of the most demanding fundraising climates in recent memory, is a powerful validation of our strategy and our mission,' said Abrar Mir, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Quadria Capital. 'It reflects deep global investor conviction in the transformational opportunity in Asian Healthcare, where social impact and financial performance go hand in hand.'
Global Institutional Backing Across Continents
At a time when global capital is cautious, Quadria's ability to consistently attract top-tier global investors underscores the strong conviction in its investment strategy and the undeniable opportunities in the Asian healthcare market.
Quadria Capital's largest existing backers include prominent North American and European sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, and strategic corporates. The Fund also secured new commitments from globally recognized institutional investors. Most notably, there was strong backing from leading institutions across the GCC, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain. The fundraise further attracted interest from India, with fresh capital from major banks, insurance companies, and family offices. Additionally, the Fund received robust re-up commitments from impact investors - underscoring Quadria's continued dedication to scalable, high-impact healthcare businesses that deliver lifesaving care to underserved populations across Asia.
Positioned for Structural Growth in Asia's $5 Trillion Healthcare Market
'With Asia expected to drive 40% of global healthcare growth by 2030 1, Fund III positions Quadria to lead a new era of private capital-driven healthcare transformation across the region,' Abrar Mir added.
'Asia's healthcare sector is at a pivotal moment, and it will remain in the limelight in 2025, especially with investment interest in India in areas like single-specialty hospitals, diagnostic chains, medical devices, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, which includes APIs and CDMOs. This sector will see growth because of higher healthcare consumption, cost-efficiency initiatives, and deepening technology integration. We are entering a golden decade of healthcare transformation,' said Dr Amit Varma, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Quadria Capital.
Fund III will build a diversified portfolio of approximately 10 market-leading companies, taking both significant minority and majority stakes, and further scaling impact through targeted co-investments from Limited Partners (LPs).
Already nearly 40% deployed - including closed and signed investments - the fund has invested in Aragen Life Sciences (a global CRDMO serving over 400 pharma clients), NephroPlus (Asia's largest dialysis chain), and Maxivision (India's leading eye care chain). Two new investments in Southeast Asia are expected soon. Fund III builds on Quadria Capital's track record of successful exits from Funds I and II, underscoring the strength of its investment strategy, operational expertise and ability to distribute capital back to investors.

Alaska Airlines to launch flights to Rome next year
Alaska Airlines is making its Europe debut with the launch of nonstop flights to Rome next year. The Seattle-based carrier will operate four weekly flights to and from its Pacific Northwest hub to the popular Italian city starting in May 2026. Flights from Seattle-Tacoma Internatinal Airport and Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport will go on sale in the fall. The airline says it selected Rome as its first European destination because it's one of the 'most requested' destinations among its reward members. This will be the third long-haul international route Alaska will launch from its Seattle home base since acquiring Hawaiian Airlines and its fleet of long-haul jets in 2024. According to Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci, the carrier plans to expand its global reach, intending to fly to 12 international destinations on multiple continents by 2030. Last month, Alaska launched its inaugural flights to Tokyo's Narita International Airport. Flights to Seoul, South Korea, are up next, which start on Sept. 12. The new Seattle-Rome route will also double as the launch for Alaska's new flagship international Dreamliner experience on board the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Jets, which is expected to include all-new business-class suites and amenities.

('Fortrea' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: FTRE) securities between , inclusive (the 'Class Period'). Fortrea investors have until August 1, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion. IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO SUFFERED A LOSS IN FORTREA HOLDINGS INC. (FTRE), CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD G. SMITH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONGOING SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT. Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss your legal rights by email at howardsmith@ by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or visit our website at What Happened? On September 25, 2024, the investment bank Jefferies downgraded Fortrea from buy to hold, citing perceived weaknesses in the Company's business model as a contract research organization ('CRO') amid pressure on biotechnology funding and that the cost savings Fortrea expects to achieve by existing transition services agreements ('TSAs') are 'not as material as one might think.' On this news, Fortrea's stock price fell $2.73, or 12.3%, to close at $19.48 per share on September 25, 2024, thereby injuring investors. Then, on December 6, 2024, Baird Equity Research stated that '[g]iven our ongoing concerns around the sector, [Fortrea's] choppy history post spin, and lack of clarity on the abrupt communications course change, we cannot recommend an actionable investment (buy or sell)[.]' On this news, Fortrea's stock price fell $1.90, or 8.1%, to close at $21.67 per share on December 6, 2024. Then, on March 3, 2025, before the market opened, Fortrea announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, revealing the Company had missed its previously announced guidance for revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2024. The Company's financial results revealed full year adjusted EBITDA of $202.5 million, well below the Company's previously announced guidance of $220 million to $240 million. The Company also revealed full year revenue of $2.696 billion, which missed previously announced guidance of $2.7 billion to $2.725 billion. The Company further revealed financial guidance for the full year 2025, which projected declines in revenue and adjusted EBITDA, with revenues of $2.450 billion to $2.550 billion and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $170 million to $200 million. Thomas Pike ('Pike'), the Company's then-Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'), explained that 'full-service work for projects from the pre-spin period,' 'have less revenue and less profitability' and 'post-spin work is not coming on fast enough to offset the pre-spin contract economics.' Pike further revealed 'this older versus newer mix issue will continue to negatively impact our financial performance during 2025.' On this news, Fortrea shares fell $3.47, or 25.1%, to close at $10.38 per share on March 3, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Fortrea overestimated the amount of revenue the Pre-Spin Projects were likely to contribute to the Company's 2025 earnings; (2) Fortrea overstated the cost savings it would likely achieve by exiting the TSAs; (3) as a result, the Company's previously announced EBITDA targets for 2025 were inflated; (4) accordingly, the viability of the Company's post-Spin-Off business model, as well as its business and/or financial prospects, were overstated; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
