The greatest testament to our abilities as investors, asset managers and client advisers must certainly be the number of long-standing partnerships that we have with our clients, many of whom have weathered the numerous economic cycles with us over the past 28 years. Over the past two decades, we have stayed true to our core values, and gained our clients' trust by always having their best interests at heart in all our investment decisions. Together, we have endured the Asian Financial Crisis, the Tech Bubble, SARS and the Global Financial Crisis, but each and every crisis presented us with milestone opportunities and helped us grow from strength to strength for our clients, to become the successful organization that we are today.
