Our operational,

before we invest; and
We understand the

We pursue follow-on
investments to facilitate
further growth.

Our approach to risk
management starts with a well

includes setting policies and risk
tolerances, identifying and
measuring risk, collecting the

levels. . .
Our compensation is
significantly incentivebased; and
•
RISK
MANAGEMENT
Emerging market company
characteristics require more

We have worked hard to
establish good reputations

Our plan for an exit starts

we deem best through. . .
