Sound and Professional Investment Strategy
Investment Philosophy
Investment decisions are based on market trends and analysis of target companies by investment professionals based locally. We invest in companies that meet the investment criteria regarding transparency, accountability, profit dynamics, financial strength and valuation under a scorecard system. We aim to identify and enhance the value of businesses at the early stage.
Pre-Investment Assessment
We identify potential investments through market insight and due diligence as well as input from numerous management teams, members of the financial community and potential corporate partners. Our broad network of contacts within the investment, commercial banking, private equity and investment management communities, and a strong reputation in investment management, offer us opportunities with well-positioned prospective companies.
- Unique & Disciplined Evaluation Process
Recognizing the importance of aligning the firm's interests with those of our investors, we evaluate each potential opportunity through a people-intensive, consulting-based due diligence process. Our team of analysts is committed to an uncompromising determination to identify any business which we believe is capable of generating long-term capital appreciation. Besides its current financial performance, we also pay attention to its market competitiveness, market growth potential and industry prospect. We believe that a comprehensive evaluation must take into consideration long-term growth factors in order to secure the best interests of our shareholders.
- Application of Scorecard System
We evaluate potential acquisition targets through a scorecard system. The first priority is management, and the focus is on its ability to deliver results. We believe that the management is the soul of a company. We look for a strong profit growth rate for the business, and we also treasure the uniqueness and innovation of the business for its long-term market value. Market position is another aspect we pay strong attention to. Normally we prefer companies that are rated among the top five in the industry.
Backed by the team of analysts, our management provides the necessary support to our invested companies, to implement business plans which include development programs acquisition, corporate capital restructuring and scaleable expansions designed to leverage competitive advantages, and strategies to improve earnings. We constantly strive to anticipate changing market conditions and seek the best returns for our shareholders.
Post-investment Process
- Pro-active and Value-added Portfolio Management
We create values by building better businesses, complementing a global vision with local insight, industry expertise and management know-how. We are actively involved in a company's growth strategies and its plans for operational improvements, to bring international experience and financial know-how to invested companies. Any business idea that does not take the global market into consideration is bound to fail or be limited at the local level. We add tremendous value to our portfolio of companies by actively assisting them to get into the global market and keep up with the latest trends.
- Active Involvement & Effective Communication
We are deeply involved with our portfolio of companies to maximize value for shareholders. We keep in close contact with management to speed up the decision-making process, and aim at the total alignment between the invested companies and us. We give valuable advice to ensure effective corporate governance and closely monitor the financial growth of our portfolio. We understand that the market changes rapidly and that has a direct impact on the company's performance. Therefore, we focus our efforts on implementing different business strategies and market positioning with the invested firms according to different market conditions. We are dedicated to complying fully with the letter and spirit of the laws, rules and ethical principles that govern us. Our continued success depends upon unswerving adherence to this standard.
