Investment Focus

SEAVI Advent is committed to nurturing successful businesses in Asia particularly in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China. The awakening of China heralds a new dawn in Asia Pacific. With its recent entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) and successful bid to host the 2008 Olympics, China is poise to enjoy tremendous economic growth and improvements in social living standards within the near and medium term.

By end 2001, China has surpassed the United States as the world's largest mobile market with more than 135 million users, and is still enjoying double-digit annual growth. Its huge base of quality yet low-cost technical human resources has attracted many large foreign manufacturers, creating a multiplier effect in the economic growth of numerous supporting industries and neighboring Hong Kong.

The corporate survivors of the 1997 Asian Crisis and the recent global downturn in Singapore and Malaysia are emerging stronger and better managed. These companies have weathered the storms by improving their corporate governance, expanding beyond their traditional markets and moving their businesses up the economic value chain. Stronger economic growth is anticipated in the near and medium term with the implementation of Free Trade agreements between South East Asia and China, and that of Singapore with Japan, United States and other countries.

Industry sectors within these markets are expected to offer exciting growth opportunities. Our investment focus will be on key industries that capitalize on our expertise and successes:

  • Electronics
  • Business Services
  • Specialty Retailing
  • Chemicals
  • Telecom / Information Technology
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Clean Energy
