Capital Advisory

Nuances make or break a deal, and building trust and understanding is critical for lasting success.  This requires expertise, empathy and experience, which is what we resolutely contribute to each and every engagement on which we work.

Our senior partners bring world-class expertise, deep experience and broad vision having been senior professionals in world-leading investment banks and multinationals.  Each has over 20 years of experience in multiple markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas and across a wide range of industries.  We additionally have the critical element of being local, having firsthand experience and understanding of the operating market in Myanmar as well as enjoying the trust and credibility within the business and government circles.

We are confident in Myanmar’s potential and believe that good, responsible capital is vital for the development of the country.  

The capital and investment landscape in Myanmar is emergent and the understanding of international practices are in development.  We serve as a trusted bridge that has an intimate understanding of both the requirements of international partners and investors, and understanding and appreciating the needs, desires and operating environment of Myanmar businesses.  We are firmly focused to ensure that the transactions we work on have lasting fruitful benefits for all parties.

We engage on selective mandates with clients and partners who are aligned with our vision and values.  We invest in long-term trusted working relationships with equity and debt funders, key industry and market participants and governmental bodies so that we can deliver the entire ecosystem for successful and sustainable outcomes.
