Our strategy Our strategy is based upon rigorous investment progress and carefully assessed investment targets in the rapidly developing industries of the emerging markets in Russia and other CIS countries, which offer significantly higher returns than comparable market averages. We are looking to become a leading investor in the project with an active role in the strategic decision-making process as well as ready to bring the following competencies and enhance the performance of the company through an active, professional and committed BoD participation; assistance and support in the development of the company's management and financial reporting structures; support in the development of a project-oriented remuneration and motivation schemes for the company's management and key personnel; implementation of internationally acceptable internal controls and financial reporting systems. Our investors are not looking for any long strategic positions in any given company or industry. As such we are looking for a solid divestment strategy within a 3-5 years period of our entry into a project. A sale to a long-term oriented investor is our exit strategy of choice but initial public offerings are also viable.
