Backed by the Princely House of Liechtenstein and LGT, the international private banking and asset management group, Lightstone focuses on growth-stage investments ranging from $10 million to $50 million, primarily in India. In 2019, LGT acquired Aspada, a leading India-focused impact investment fund, to expand its impact investing platform, LGT Lightstone. The acquisition of Aspada and the launch of the brand LGT Lightstone is a significant step in furthering LGT Group’s pioneering commitment to impact investing and sustainability. The integration of Aspada into the LGT Lightstone platform, future investing efforts in India will be branded under the name LGT Lightstone Aspada. In February 2021, LGT Lightstone Aspada rebranded as Lightrock and continues to focus on growth-stage impact investing in India. The platform currently manages $400 million in investments across 27 companies in India, with a focus on sustainable resources, improving human potential, and enhancing business productivity.
