Private Equity

Fund

In our fast-transforming economy, as we rapidly shift away from agriculture and move towards an industrialized, urbanized society, private equity is a powerful and precise tool to direct capital to the innovative companies which are at the forefront of driving this change. We believe that there is a wealth of opportunities available as Bangladesh embarks upon its journey of economic transition, and that we have an important role to play in catalysing the resources available and directing them to where they will have the greatest impact, thus creating the maximum value for all stakeholders.

We help create value by identifying truly innovative and capable companies with potential, and help them realize their hidden value by providing patient capital which enables them to realize their vision. We do more than simply invest in companies. We bring together dedicated subject matter experts to provide operational support and strategic insight that enables companies to successfully deal with the challenges of the 21st century innovation ecosystem. We provide a proactive, hands-on approach which aims to transform companies from bottom up to create exponential value that drives innovation and operational excellence across our target sectors.

Our approach towards identifying and investing in companies is informed by our long experience in successfully financing businesses in the country. Our proactive approach seeks out only the most innovative companies in our target sectors, with potential for exponential value creation which distinguish themselves through superior operational excellence, prescient strategic vision as well as long-term sustainability of their business model in a rapidly changing world. Once having successfully applied our resources and expertise in conjunction with the intensive focus of the management of our portfolio companies, we seek a realization of our investment after having multiplied its value.

We believe that the strong economic performance achieved by Bangladesh in recent years shall continue to create opportunities across a multitude of sectors as the economy embarks on a journey towards industrialization. We believe that the Information Technology, Health and Engineering sectors hold particular potential for long term sustainable growth. Our network of experts across a range is of sectors are instrumental in helping to build a pipeline for continuous evaluation of potential investment opportunities.

Protecting and enhancing the value of our client’s investments stand as our highest priority. We use rigorous processes and procedures throughout the investment lifecycle to diligently ensure that our client’s invested funds are secure and earning returns. Risk management stands at the core of our investment philosophy, where we diligently examine the risks which our investments face and ensure that value creation is maximized while minimizing risks to acceptable levels. We seek to continually work with management of our portfolio companies to help streamline processes to control risk throughout the organization.

Venture Capital

Fund

Venture Capital Funds, another form of private equity, provides financing to small, early-stage, emerging Startup companies that are deemed to have high growth potential, or which have demonstrated high growth.

The start-ups are usually based on an innovative technology or business model and they are usually from the high technology industries, such as information technology (IT), clean technology or biotechnology. These Startup companies have a limited operating history (under two years), making the investment more risky for us, but the potential for above-average returns is an attractive payoff. We help the portfolio companies grow with mentoring, technical expertise and networking.
