NUSATU CAPITAL

Seeking to partner with a Malaysian business to drive sustainable growth

Who We Are

We are the first traditional search fund in Malaysia.


Nusatu Capital is a search fund looking to acquire a medium-sized company in Malaysia.

A search fund is an investment vehicle where an investor-backed entrepreneur raises funds

to locate, acquire, manage, and grow a privately-held company,

where they will assume an active leadership role.


Our promise to business owners is that we will partner with you to protect your legacy, support the transition, and ultimately achieve long-term sustainable growth.


Nusatu Capital is founded by Nazrul Johari and a team of investors with deep experience in acquisitions globally, Malaysian corporate leaders with deep domain expertise and former management consultants with extensive transformation experience.
