Geographical Focus

Whilst priority will be given to Malaysian opportunities which could at least scale across Asia, MAVCAP will invest globally subject to the following geographical restrictions applying on investments by MAVCAP outside Malaysia :-

	Initially 70% has been allocated for direct inverstment into Malaysian-based or controlled companies
	For investments made overseas, the following criteria are to be imposed :
	Technology transfer to Malaysia to be effected within 12 months of investment; or RHQ or significant presence to be set up in Malaysia within 12 months of investment; or The investments must be able to serve or provide a significant network (sales, distribution or otherwise) or value added services to MAVCAP and its partner companies

In addition, MAVCAP will pursue its country "cluster" strategy in developing in-depth knowledge of select countries or group of countries and investing in them. The development of such focused-resource will aid MAVCAP in its overall success in investment.

The clusters selected are :-

Malaysia & Singapore
Japan & Korea
Greater China (China, Taiwan & Hong Kong)
United States of America

These clusters have been chosen for among that include:

Most are leaders in their own right in terms of technology innovation;
Large domestic or cultural markets;
These countries continue to experience high growth in the technology sectors; and
Mature capital markets enable exits from investments and at higher financial returns.

As in the case of sectoral focus, MAVCAP will seek to invest only in countries it has country domain understanding at least from a political, economic and social aspects and how these affect an investment.

MAVCAP will also serve as a conduit for US and European technology companies to reach out to Asian markets, and particularly Malaysia.
