Company Profile
Investment is a balancing act between risk and prospective reward. Sometimes it’s time to ride the wave of optimism and sometimes it pays to be a bit cautious.
More often than not, companies have simply too much money chasing them beyond what we consider a reasonable price.
We like it when there’s temporal bad news as that is an opportunity for us to invest into quality companies at a “sale” price.
Being located in Asia at the centre of the major growth regions of the world gives us a unique angle for both the opportunities and the problems facing companies in each market.
Our investment teams are local on the ground participants in the capital markets; this advantage gives us insight into hyper-local investment situations. At the same time, we also compare notes across the region to share ideas and learn from each other.
We meet most of the companies we invest in face-to-face as that gives us a better picture of how they see trends in their sectors.
We seek constant improvements whereby weekly meetings are conducted to discuss investment proposals where internal debates and discussions occur.
Our founder Jeffrey Lee started the business in 1995 and remains at the helm ensuring continuity and stability in unpredictable times.
We believe Asia has remarkable and unique growth opportunities that benefit from local knowledge and we have been fortunate that Asia continues to be a market that rewards the prudent investor.
We look forward to bringing the tremendous potential of companies in Asia to our investors all around the world.
