We seek to invest in companies with

• Scalable business models built on innovation and sustainable competitive advantage
• Proven market potential and customer need
• Dynamic industry structure where the company can capture a significant portion of the value creation potential
• Strong and motivated management team with whom we can build a partnership

Target and holding horizon

• Our average investment target is USD 8-15 million in a company over the life of our investment
• Our holding horizon ranges between 3 to 6 years

• Operating, strategic and financial expertise

We provide our portfolio companies with an extensive range of expertise in operating management, business development, and strategy consulting. This is done by combining IGC’s internal expertise with the managerial know-how of our advisors and the specialized knowledge of our industry experts. IGC Asia specializes in the area of IT, Software, Semiconductors and Internet/Media. Most importantly, we actively participate in developing our company’s corporate strategies, selecting executive team members, raising capital, and creating sustainable value in the market.

• Access to a global network

Our companies gain valuable access to both IGC’s global network of advisors, industry experts, localized knowledge of several geographic markets, as well as a community of portfolio companies within the same industry. Beyond that, our portfolio companies have the rare opportunity of accessing Investor's global network of people and businesses developed over almost a century of international operations, as well as the chance to leverage the relationships that IGC's professionals have established directly.

• Patient and flexible capital

IGC is structured as an evergreen capital pool without, as is the case with most venture capital funds, a finite fund life. This longer-term perspective is consistent with Investor’s investment philosophy and allows us the flexibility to support a company through several rounds of investment when there is attractive prospect for incremental returns. We are also able to resist the common pressure of seeking liquidity due to requirements of external limited partners.

Without a stringent asset allocation requirement, IGC enjoys a flexible asset concentration between its healthcare and IT business sectors private and public investments, and across various growth stages.

• An Active, Hands-On Investment Philosophy

 IGC commits itself to its portfolio companies primarily through active participation on their boards. This commitment exceeds simple monitoring, actively developing our company’s corporate strategies, selecting executive team members, raising debt and equity capital, and creating sustainable value in the marketplace.
