Transformation
INTRASYS’s more than 37 years of experience in dealing with entrepreneurs’ business building and creating exit opportunities, became the cornerstone for turning INTRASYS into an investment opportunist, risking at seed funding the exploitation of an opportunity and finding business and financial partners to strengthen the deal offerings.
The current risk-taking includes:
- Promoting MENA Capital Ltd of Labuan, Cornerstone Private Equity Limited of Hong Kong, and Q Legacy Management of Labuan, as the receivers of alternative funds sourced from offshore investors to invest in several industry scale opportunities in ASEAN.
- Collaboration with Green Quantum Group to create a Protected Cell Company in Labuan to address the specific needs of potential investors.
- Collaboration to form a Variable Capital Company in Singapore
Investment focus
Having the requisites equity management experience and expertise, the Team seeks to broaden selective investment areas across various market segments locally and ASEAN and present these opportunities to offshore funders after merging the interests of the demand partners, the transactional partners, and the support partners.
Monitoring of Investments
Close supervision, through direct interaction with the management of Investee Companies, is an essential part of the monitoring process. The Team will select a CEO with domain experience who is judged to be able to coordinate the value chain partners to successfully execute against predetermined milestones and, where appropriate, will take direct actions.
The Team Manager will also provide as much assistance as possible to the Investee Companies to help in the areas of executive management, business development, product marketing, finance, and human resources, and in other management areas deemed fit, to accelerate the growth of the Investee Companies, employing experts in such areas that need such assistance.
A flexible approach – investing in executable business models with an eye for future financing opportunities and concentrating on business-building strategies for value enhancement. We determine parameters to “cut-loss” or turnaround at the outset, by recognizing key milestones and comprehensively understanding the risks involved in reaching the milestones.
Returns and Exit
As fund manager and co-investor, we will seek investment in investee companies that can demonstrate a high Internal Rate of Return. This is derived primarily from capital gains through redemption, IPOs, buy-back, or trade sale. INTRASYS may also seek strategic exit opportunities at the outset.
Risk Management
In a non-recourse funding environment, risk management forms a vital part of our investment process. We apply a unique approach for any particular investment with a view that every investment carries different risk profiles from the angle of management quality, products or services, market characteristics, financials, cultural and regulatory framework. We work with independent parties in the respective areas and deploy industry experts at the pre-and post-investment stages, often as a liquidity management programs executed in the back office.
