Asian Tiger Capital Partners ('AT Capital') has assembled one of the largest financial research teams in Bangladesh from both leading domestic financial institutions as well as academic institutions. This reflects the Partners’ conviction that the quality of information and analysis of the Bangladesh corporate sector will be a critical factor in enabling exceptional returns to be achieved.

We believe credible research intelligence will be critical to attracting sizeable overseas investment to the various funds it will manage. As a result, the partners intend to invest heavily in developing detailed sector profiles across a number of strategically important sectors in the economy including Pharmaceuticals, Textiles, IT/Financial Service Outsourcing, Business Process and Knowledge Process Outsourcing, Real Estate, Power and Energy, Infrastructure, Banks/Financial Services, Retailing, Tourism, Manpower, Agriculture/Food Processing, Education, Communications/Media.

We aim to offer potential investors detailed information about the major companies that currently operate in each sector including financial profiles, management structure and long-term growth objectives.

In addition, AT Capital will look for comparables in those sectors in other countries in the region such as India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Pakistan that might offer some insight into which business models might be imported successfully into Bangladesh as well as potentially those companies with success overseas that might be persuaded to establish a new presence here

The objective of the research programme will be to provide both a macro and micro perspective on the Bangladesh economy, sectors and individual sectors. AT Capital intends to publish regular research reports on :

•  The Macroeconomic Outlook

•  Sector themes and analysis
