Incorporated in 1988, Vertex Holdings started as a CVC under Singapore Technologies[14]. The company became a full subsidiary[15] of Temasek Holdings in 2004, after the dot-com bubble. In 2008, a new CEO Chua Kee Lock was brought in[16] and in 2015, Vertex Holdings transformed to an investment holding company, with direct investments made by a network of five VC funds across the world.[17]

Based in Singapore, Vertex Holdings manages over $3 billion[4] in AUM.
