    Out of our 30 private equity investments across various sectors including gaming, platform, digital media, digital logistics, semiconductor equipment, and renewables, we achieved an average IRR of 60.3%.

Since our establishment in 2006, we have built various investment experiences—from growth capital investments to buyout investments, leveraging out strong relationships with major large corporations and SMEs.

Particularly, we have strong expertise in growth capital investments in SMEs and successfully closed private equity deals.

Furthermore, we have developed investment strategies to deliver solid investment returns throughout different stages of economic cycles. While we seek to focus on industries and companies that are resilient to short-term market volatility, we also utilize mezzanine investments and structured deals as well as common stock investment, to protect against the potential downside.
