Our Experience

The Rippledot Difference

Based in Singapore but propelled by a global vision, Rippledot is inspired by the “Little Red Dot” in which we were founded — a nation that has used its size to its advantage, positioning itself as a reputable and efficient hub from which to explore the rest of Asia, adding value to businesses and creating ripples not just across the region but the entire world.

Rippledot has a similar vision: to be an effective, reliable partner and adviser to our clients, enabling them to create ripples of their own. Five core principles underpin our approach:

Complete Client Commitment

Complete Client Commitment

Our clients are our central focus and we will always be committed to their interests. We don’t drive our own business towards quarterly, semi-annual or annual budgets. As a result, we have the ability and gumption to provide genuine, independent advice and build long term rather than transactional relationships with our clients.

Consulting Based Approach to M&A

Consulting Based Approach to M&A

Forget cookie-cutter approaches. At Rippledot, we believe in providing personalised, client-driven service and bespoke solutions built from extensive analysis and a deep understanding of our clients’ businesses. We select our deals carefully, dedicate teams appropriately and bring a level of intellectual rigour that few advisers can achieve in our region.

Dedicated senior-level attention

Dedicated senior-level attention

Clients can expect the focus and dedication of the same senior executives from deal origination to transaction execution. We dig deep with our clients, going the extra mile to understand their businesses as well as they do. Our client directors typically focus on one transaction at any given time.

Sector Expertise
