Our Principal Investment business, leveraging on years of experience and success as an investor, has been built up into a core business of the Group with a team of well-trained and experienced investment professionals covering equity and direct investments as well as treasury operations. Ongoing resources are allocated to enhance our investment infrastructure. This includes synergistic analytical tools, risk management system, as well as management information system to facilitate the growth of our Principal Investment activities. Our portfolio and strategic investments cover global capital markets and comprise primarily 'large cap' equity investments in Asian, Europe and North America, and we invest in business and industries where our management knowledge and competencies can enhance creation of capital value in line with Guoco's vision to achieve superior long-term sustainable returns for shareholders. Our treasury division focuses on global economic conditions, forex and interest rate trends, strategic trading ideas. It also manages major financial exposures of the Group and hedging proposals to manage the Group's liquid assets. Treasury and investment management teams have been organized regionally to harness the group resources under two investment offices, namely Hong Kong and Malaysia to enable us to select and validate appropriate investments that meet the Group's target valuation benchmarks and whose potential satisfies its demanding investment criteria. The two investment teams report to Guoco's Board Investment Committee which is chaired by Mr. Quek Leng Chan (Guoco's Executive Chairman) and was mandated by Guoco's board of directors to oversee the overall investment activities of the Group and guide the overall process governing the Group's core investment and treasury operations.
