Description of Environment

Asia Pacific Investment Partners, founded in 2001, is an investment company that is primarily focused on the emerging markets.

Our investment professionals and operations specialists come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from venture capitalists to strategy consultants to specialists in corporate finance and real estate. The firm’s team of investment professionals is supported by an experienced group of research professionals, IT personnel, accountants and marketing professionals.

As a private firm we primarily work with small investors, high net worth individuals and a select group of corporate investors.  Our investment and operations team source ideas and investment opportunities and work closely together to design ways of growing and improving the business through the use of appropriate capital funding, marketing, human resources and strategy.  We emphasize a strong focus on operational execution ever mindful of the competitive marketplaces of the global economy and the windows of opportunity that present themselves.

A small but geographically diverse firm, we are at home in the emerging markets.
