Singapore investment fund Temasek Holdings has set up a new investment company called Seatown Holdings. According to the statement, Temasek’s senior managing director and chief strategist Charles Ong will be the chief executive of the new company. Mr Ong said Seatown is a global investment company, wholly-owned by Temasek Holdings. It is not immediately clear how Seatown’s mandate will be different from Temasek’s own investment role. Remember, Temasek’s investment mandate is to protect the monies of Singapore, including the pension monies (CPF) of its residents. Temasek set up Fullerton Fund Management a few years ago to manage 3rd party money. I suppose the real question to ask is how different would Seatown be from Fullerton Fund Management’s mandate. Or even, how different is it from GIC’s mandate? Some news reports say that in addition to investing the city-state’s own assets, Seatown will eventually open its doors to Singapore’s citizens, allowing them to co-invest with the sovereign fund.

I did some research and found a flowchart from this blog, where the author interpreted the money flow within this organisation. See the chart below (click on it for a larger version).

A spokesman said he had no further details beyond the statement. Temasek said it has seconded a small core team and is still in the process of building up the Seatown team. Earlier, Dow Jones reported that the new company will have an investment capital of around US$3 billion and would focus on investments in emerging markets with an emphasis on Asia.

If you are looking for a loan (individuals and businesses), and have problems getting the banks to listen, you will want to continue reading this post. There is a new Asset Based Loan program that will give individuals and businesses up to 90% LTV against a portfolio of listed securities. This is backed by a reinsurance company. For more information about this ABL program, visit the ABL application page, now.

A contact is looking for projects which are ready to build and or to invest.

• The permissions / approvals, executive summary / business plan 1 page, in case of power projects PPA, etc. have to be ready to build the projects.
• Existing profitable plants, etc.

As usual, drop me a note if you have something to discuss.

Private Companies

• We seek private companies with a minimum of USD$2 million in EBITDA.
• We are open to all sectors and geography.
• If your company is not yet cash flow positive we can provide a legally binding comittment to invest all the money you need once you  are listed. You can then leverage that into an IPO/RTO which we can facilitate as well.

Public Listed Companies

We seek listed public companies and the investment criteria list adopted by us is as follows:

• You can achieve significant public announcement milestones during the developmental period.
• You determine when you take the capital as and when you need it.
• You use the proceeds to grow your business and your EBITDA.
• Your funds are spent over a developmental period.

If you believe you fit our funding criteria a review and analysis of your business plan will be required as the next step. Please contact me directly.
