Asian Tiger Capital Partners

Asian Tiger Capital Partners or AT Capital is a financial institution into Bangladesh, emulating the recent success of other countries in the region such as China, India and Vietnam. AT Capital is generally bullish on Bangladesh as it believes that it is ideally positioned to take advantage of the growing institutional investor base, increased liquidity, record-setting remittance inflow, growing foreign investment and the rapidly growing public market.

AT Capital is one of the financial institutions in Bangladesh focusing on private equity and venture capital, by investing in leading companies and working with management to grow and improve their business model, to create shareholder value. In 2008, AT Capital intends to launch two different funds aimed at overseas investors looking to gain exposure to the substantial return opportunities in Bangladesh. The AT Capital Bangladesh Strategic Opportunities Fund will invest in non-publicly listed companies while the AT Capital Market Opportunities Fund will invest in equities listed on the Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges.

Research

AT Capital firmly believes that credible research intelligence will be critical towards attracting sizeable overseas investment to the various funds it will manage. As a result, the research forms the core of AT Capital's business as it has invested heavily in developing detailed sector profiles across a number of strategically important sectors such as Pharmaceuticals, Textiles, Technology, Outsourcing, Real Estate, Power and Energy, Infrastructure, Banks/Financial Services, Retailing, Tourism, Manpower, Agriculture/Food Processing, Education, Communications/Media. The firm aims to offer potential investors detailed information about major companies that currently operate in each sector including financial profiles, management structure and long-term growth objectives. In addition, AT Capital will look for comparables in those sectors in other countries in the region such as India, China, Vietnam, Thailand and Pakistan that might offer some insight into which business models might be imported successfully into Bangladesh, as well as potentially those companies with success overseas that might be persuaded to establish a new presence in Bangladesh. The objective of the research program is to provide both a macro and micro perspective on the Bangladesh economy, sectors and individual sectors.
