We only hire people who are genuinely passionate about the fund and the territory we are working in. Asia is very different from the west and you have to be interested in it to be effective in it.

We spend as much time as possible out in Asia meeting people, walking through shopping centres, watching, listening and reading everything and anything that might offer clues.

It’s all about honesty, integrity and a focus on delivering returns to our investors. We want to build this company on a solid foundation where our conduct day-to-day is of the highest standard.
