The two companies also intend to pursue a strategic partnership aimed at bridging the financing gap for impact-driven projects across Asia and the Middle East.

Partnership purpose and scope

This collaboration builds on Daiwa Securities' commitment to client-focused innovation and impact, and on DCG’s mission to open scalable access to real-world, impact-driven investments. By joining forces, the two companies aim to close the regional financing gap in impact finance, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, where demand for capital continues to outpace supply.

A key focus will be harnessing digital platforms and financial technology to bring forward tokenized assets, programmable investment structures, and digitally native distribution channels that boost transparency, liquidity, and accessibility for investors worldwide.

For DCG, the collaboration brings a trusted partner with decades of capital markets experience and strong institutional networks across Asia. For Daiwa Securities, it strengthens the firm’s innovation pipeline through DCG’s integrated investment-tech platform, digital asset expertise, and expanding presence in high-growth markets.
