To be a value-added investor in SMEs, promoting socially-responsible economic
development while generating an appropriate return for our shareholders.
We believe that responsible, focused and profitable investment in SMEs is an
effective tool for promoting socially responsible economic development.
Mezzanine Investments
We invest from $100,000 up to $2.0 million into expansion-stage Vietnamese
businesses to finance their long-term growth. We provide long-term capital in
the form of “Mezzanine” Investment:
-
Largely unsecured risk capital with debt repayment characteristics.
-
Combining attractive features of equity and debt, but without the drawbacks: we
do not seek a significant ownership stake or have onerous collateral
requirements.
-
Long-term investments with flexible terms typically tied to the cash flows and
performance of our partner company’s business.
-
Structured to complement other forms of capital, and positioned betweens senior
debt and equity in our partner company’s capital structure.
-
Capital whose costs are between those of bank loans and equity investment.
We strive to understand the opportunities and challenges facing entrepreneurs,
and to provide capital in the amount, and on the terms, that are appropriate
for them and their business.
