TENEO PARTNERS

Teneo Partners Limited is a capital introduction and funds marketing company representing traditional and alternative investment strategies. We have offices in Tokyo, Singapore and Melbourne providing coverage throughout Asia.

Teneo Partners acts as a placement agent for asset managers looking to raise assets in Japan, Asia Ex-Japan and Australia. Although our market coverage extends across Asia our unique competency is providing access to the Japanese investor base through a broad spectrum of services ranging from the Market Survey and Market Access Programs to full representation.

TENEO PARTNERS VALUE PROPOSITION

The enduring pool of investment capital in Japan has increased the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships with key Japanese institutional investors. However the difficulty in accessing key individuals within these firms, in overcoming language and cultural barriers and in navigating the regulatory issues governing capital raising activities can often seem daunting.

Japanese institutions tend to be opaque with many different internal investment groups, giving rise to legitimate concerns amongst offshore asset managers as to whom they should be targeting. The effort required to find and access the appropriate investors in Japan is clearly a significant cost and resource issue for many managers, representing a large overhead expense. Repeated trips to Tokyo can fail to initiate the desired contact and communication with the appropriate end investors.

Teneo Partners provides an efficient solution to those problems by providing focused access to a wide base of Japanese institutional investors. Targeted meetings with the right contacts create efficiencies in terms of cost and time. Each of Teneo Partners' team of experienced fund marketers is a fluent Japanese speaker. We will accompany managers to all meetings, assisting with any business, language and cultural issues.

Teneo Partners holds both an Investment Advisory license and a Securities Sales Agency license permitting us to introduce financial products to qualified Japanese institutional investors.

TENEO PARTNERS SERVICES

Our basic service, the Market Survey Program, is meant to provide a comprehensive introduction to the Japanese market for those asset managers who are coming to Tokyo in order to better understand the market and to gauge the potential for their investment products in Japan.

Our more in-depth service, the Market Access Program, supports those asset managers who wish to make an initial commitment to the market in Japan without having to allocate significant resources to their marketing effort in Japan. We provide asset managers with assistance throughout the term of the agreement by providing more comprehensive marketing support and follow up with prospective investors.

In addition to these two Programs, we also provide a more comprehensive Partnership Program whereby we function as the local agent for our asset management clients.
