    SOME US$5.8 billion in investments were made in South-east Asia by venture capital, private equity and corporate venture funds in the first eight months of this year, going by data released by the Singapore Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (SVCA) on Monday.

    SVCA noted that the sum is "by no means as significant" as the US$23.5 billion made in total investments last year.
