Private Equity - Investing
Somerston invests in private equity through its Innovation arm which focuses on late stage durable, technology-enabled businesses and essential infrastructure.
We closed Fund I after a very successful run of 900% gross return and net DPI of 4.58x after six years. We have subsequently launched Fund II at the start of 2026, which is currently open for external investment until until the commitment cap is reached. Please contact us for more information.
Trans Pacific Networks
Trans Pacific Networks a key developer of Echo undersea telecommunication network connecting the US to Indonesia, Singapore, and Australia while avoiding political hotspots.
TPN is adding two additional cables, Tabua and Topaz to enable a complete North, Mid, and South Trans-Pacific route architecture, scalable capacity through multi-fiber-pair ownership, and improved pathways supporting long-term digital growth and trans-Pacific demand. Echo and Tabua are targeting Ready for Service in 2026, while Topaz is already fully operational.
Somerston recognises the application of disruptive technology across multiple industries, seeking to leverage these advancements to create exceptional opportunities for returns. For further details please contact us.
Private Markets
We invest directly and alongside aligned families and specialist managers. Core areas include AI infrastructure, fintech, autonomy and defence, digital infrastructure, advertising technology, and smart-city platforms. We back founder-led teams with disciplined unit economics, clear routes to scale, and strong governance. We add value through strategic input, board support, and access to our network across industry and finance. Sourcing is relationship-driven and research-led, and we remain selective so we can concentrate capital in high-conviction positions.
