14Investment Strategy
15Fund Focused on Emerging Asia Middle Market
Through Significant Minority Investments
Emerging Asia
- Emerging Asia has consistently outperformed ROW
- This dynamic region is expected to play a leading
global economic role - Much of developed world faces significant
long-term crises, including massive debt, steep
budget deficits, and structural unemployment
Middle Market
- Typically, greater revenue and earnings
acceleration than large cap companies - However, much less access to capital, providing
investment opportunities for hands-on investors
like Tembusu
Significant Minority Investments
- Tembusu invests with proven entrepreneurs who
typically have significant personal stakes in
their companies - We target a 20 - 30 ownership stake and board
representation - Commit internal resources towards improving the
finance and operations of our portfolio companies
as required
15

16Capitalize on Strong Growth in Asia
- Continued strong growth from Asian economies
particularly in our focused areas of China,
India, and South East Asia - Strong emerging middle class driving domestic
consumption - Rapid urbanization with significant
infrastructure building
