is an active investment holding company, focusing on high-growth investment opportunities where potential returns will exceed our cost of capital. VenFin’s experience lies in the telecommunication, media and technology as well as financial and risk services sectors and while we continue to seek attractive opportunities in these sectors, we will not limit our investment scope to these sectors.
VenFin is not a passive portfolio investor, we seek to manage our investments actively through shareholders’ agreements, regular dialogue with other shareholders, directors and management of investee companies and by providing strategic input through board, audit and other committee representation.
VenFin adds value to its investments through its close relationships with the broader group, as well as through its networks, which include formal and informal alliances with venture capitalists in major global markets. These global venture capital networks, in addition to broadening our deal flow, provide both our shareholders and investee companies with access to important markets which would otherwise be difficult to access directly. VenFin also provides support facilities and financial and risk management services on a voluntary participation basis to its investee companies.
