▪ As an established firm with investment expertise and broad networks
  and offices across Asia, Harmony Capital has an extensive and deep
  network of relationships and a robust pipeline in this growing, but
  fragmented, industry where proprietary relationships are key to
  gaining access and serve as a powerful filter of opportunities.
▪ Harmony Capital:
    •   has a disciplined deal origination process that has generated more than 30
        qualified investment opportunities across Asia over the last 14 years
    •   screens potential portfolio companies based on various criteria including    Current Asian SME Investments
        management growth strategy, robust financials and market opportunity
    •   has extensive reach and ability to meet with management teams, attend
        conferences and diligence opportunities
▪ Through Harmony Capital’s local offices, it can originate proprietary
  transactions and negotiate attractive transactions terms directly with
  companies instead of competing in a wide process.
