Deal sourcing
Our long presence and connection among local businesses provide the firm with quality referrals and deal sourcing capability. This affords COPE Private Equity proprietary deals in a market where quality deal flows is a key ingredient for overall fund success. Proprietary deals also reduce fund exposure to investments acquired through the competitive bidding process.

We invest primarily in:

Growth stage companies requiring capital
Operationally viable mature companies in turnaround situations, including those with distressed capital, where there is opportunity to be a strategic investor; and
Mezzanine investments where we take a senior or preferred position in the capital structure.

Geographical focus
We invest mainly in Malaysian and Southeast Asian businesses with regional exposure. This reduces our investment and counterparty risk due to familiarity with the local market, whilst having exposure to the fast-growing middle class.

Sector Focus
Our investments are not limited to any specific industry but must be Shariah-compliant.
