World Capital Market's interest areas include businesses seeking to globalize, as well as businesses seeking to list on the US public markets. The firm considers all industries and corporate opportunities except non-income producing real estate.

Growth. WorldCapitalMarket actively seeks investment opportunities in those industries that stand to benefit from economic growth and Asia's recovery, or in rapid-growth industries such as technology. As a strategic financial sponsor, WorldCapitalMarket is also a strong supporter of growth through acquisition. In this capacity, WorldCapitalMarket typically lends its own resources to assist its portfolio companies in analyzing, structuring and financing their merger and acquisition activities.

High Barrier of Entry and Competitive Advantage. WorldCapitalMarket invests in companies who enjoy sustainable competitive advantages--in the form of operational or marketing excellence, proprietary technology and know-how, existing economies of scale, etc.--and which either already are or have the potential to become regional or global leaders in their respective industries.

Globalization. It is our aim to help Asian companies achieve dominance in their industries. It is WorldCapitalMarket's belief that Asia has all the necessary components--abundance of natural resources, large supply of low-cost labor, large working age populations, growing demand, surplus capacity, etc.--to build global leaders in certain industries.

Investing in People. We believe that the most important asset in any company is its people, and thus, we evaluate every opportunity as an investment in that company's management team and human resources. Furthermore, recognizing that people need to be properly rewarded for their contributions to a company's profitability and to the creation of shareholder value, WorldCapitalMarket pursues an incentive policy which includes equity participation for employees.

Unlocking Value. Recognizing that value is often hidden in companies, WorldCapitalMarket approaches every opportunity creatively and with an open mind in order to uncover hidden value in companies. We are thus very flexible regarding the types of transactions in which we participate, which include direct equity investments, management buyouts (MBOs), group restructurings, workouts/rehabilitations, spinoffs, leveraged buyouts (LBOs), and debt-to-equity conversions among others.

Key areas of project diligence include strength of management, financial track record, industry growth potential, public market valuations for the subject industry, and capital requirements. The firm has particular interest in companies using technology for a material peer group advantage. The firm is also interested in International companies from Europe or Asia that are seeking to globalize.

In addition to its equity based merchant banking engagements, World Capital Market makes preIPO investments. Such investments are typically made in partnership with esteemed global institutions. PreIPO investments are priced to seek a 400% overall return, with a 3-4 return horizon.
