CORE VALUES
Clients’ Best Interests
Our priority is to serve the best interests of our clients. We are focused on developing effective strategies to deliver sustainable long term growth in shareholder value and manage risk for our clients.
Results
Our first step in every situation is to define and understand a client’s objectives. We accept an assignment only if we are confident of contributing value and achieving the client’s objectives.
Integrity
We provide objective advice from a position of integrity. We do not have other products or services, such as securities sales and trading activities, that may conflict with client interests.
Excellence and Global Perspective
Our experience at leading investment banks and accounting firms brings global perspective and international institutional standards to our assignments. We focus on small and mid-cap companies in Asia and we aim to become the premier, international quality investment banking firm of choice in this sector.
Teamwork and Culture
Our people are our prime assets; our culture holds us together. We select members based on team spirit, character and attitude, as well as for their professional skills, experience and intellectual capabilities.
Commitment and Long-Term Relationships
We take the time to develop a good understanding of a client’s business and objectives. On completion of assignments, we remain in an advantageous position to bring new ideas and business connections to our clients. Our goal is to build long-term and value-enhancing relationships with our clients.
" As investment banks continue to redefine themselves within the still-evolving global regulatory landscape, we honour those firms that excel despite challenging market conditions. They understand the market, execute well, and create innovative solutions for their clients' unique needs," said Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance. Global Finance editors, with input from industry experts, used a series of criteria--including market share, number and size of deals, service and advice, structuring capabilities, distribution network, efforts to address market conditions, innovation, pricing, after-market performance of underwritings and market reputation--to select the winners. Deals Announced or completed in 2015 were considered."
