Hi Friends,
I have a humble business idea here I would like to share with someone who has the vision. I'm looking for partners with different skillsets that could assist in setting up a long only equities investment fund specialising in undervalued financial companies including banks, insurance & reinsurance companies trading at distressed prices.
I must stress that this is not going to be a fund that profit from active trading on various complicated derivatives. This is not my specialty. I'm a strong believer of value investing. Market has never been this crazy in the US history, many bargain hunters started to see many buying opportunities out there in the market. I'm not saying this is a good time to pick the bottom, but I believe it's a good time to slowly acquire those companies that never trade in the low end of the valuation band. It could potentially take 6 month, 1 year, 3 years or even more than 5 years to see another bull run. The good news is the safety of margin has never been this good for many decades.
What can this go wrong? With proper diversification through correlation analysis, sector allocation & territory allocation, the risk of losing should be quite minimal, unless the whole global market collapses? What is the chance? If it does happen, we all will start farming again... no one will be better off than the other...not a bad deal!
How about the upside? Do I ever have to mention? You could visualise yourself if you have the vision.
What I could offer? I'm an investment analyst working for a reinsurance company. I could provide securities analysis, financial modelling, performance evaluation, portfolio management expertise to the team. I'm also connected to the research databases of many top investment banks JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citi, HSBC & etc...
What you could offer? I'm keen on looking for partners who could offer legal advice on fund management business, portfolio management expertise, sales & marketing expertise. In the beginning stage, our focus should be on how to set up a legal framework that allows us to invest for 3rd parties within a super transparent legal framework, not how to convince others to fund the company. When idea sells itself, funding will never be an issue. I strongly believe this idea will sell.
For those who could see this happening, please PM me for further discussion. We could meet up for a brainstorming session. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Hope to hear from you.
