Founded in 2014, IFCX has connected Asian investors with global property opportunities and established relationships with major developers across Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and more recently, the Middle East, including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE.
Through its subsidiary Knightsbridge Partners, IFCX has acted as a master agent on select projects. With support from Black Spade Capital, IFCX plans to channel more than US$5 billion in investments from Asia into markets such as Vietnam, Thailand, and the Middle East over the next five years.
Kingston Lai, founder and CEO of IFCX, highlighted the partnership’s alignment with emerging markets that represent both stability and opportunity. “With Black Spade’s support, we are not only expanding our footprint but also transforming the way real estate is traded globally, bridging institutional pathways and empowering individual investors,” Lai said.
“Our ambition is clear: to leave a lasting imprint on the real estate market by channeling high-performance investments into landmark projects,” he added.
