Our Strategy
STIC focuses on buyout and growth capital investments in various sectors and stages. Throughout its 20 years of operation, STIC has evolved its investment spectrum from growth capital investments in small-cap and mid-cap companies to buyout investments in large-cap companies.

 

STIC's investment opportunities come from companies that need capital for growth or restructuring of business portfolios. These initiatives originate from the companies’ attempts to strengthen their global competitiveness to respond to changes in lifestyle, shifts in demography, introduction of new technology, and evolution of industries.

 

STIC invests in companies that have potential for intrinsic growth. These companies often times have cooperative management teams who are willing to form partnerships with STIC team.
