I t is our view that this is a particularly good time to be invested in the debt and equity markets of South-East Asia and that having diverse investment perspectives whilst having an in-depth market and sector understanding is key to delivering superior returns.

Through our significant investing and operating experience in these markets, our aim is to maximize our investors' total return potential while protecting their principal over an investment horizon of 3 to 5 years.

Our strict investment policy places extreme emphasis on capital preservation - the investment team constantly seeks and evaluates investment opportunities where we are able to purchase assets at a discount to their realizable net asset value or we identify opportunities that provide maximum security (for example, in asset-backed investments).

This reduces risk and protects the value of our investments, providing a stable platform for growth. At the same time, where appropriate, we use certain instruments to hedge market or currency risks.
