Quality
We are a small and young firm, but aim for the highest, institutional grade standards. Our niche approach delivers high returns at lower risk but require long term investment. Our legacy investment vehicles have consistently produced very high IRR's over twelve years of investment history and over sixty deals. Calamander Capital, the investment management unit, aspires to maintain the highest ethical and social standards, is regulated in Singapore and follows the state's IMAS professional practices, and are signatories to the UN PRI (Principles of Responsible Investment).

Strength
We invest primarily in defensive real assets. We do not trade or speculate and are long term and very patient investors. 0ur investment philosophy is based on macroeconomic fundamentals and absolute value, not market momentum, and we do our own macro and micro research. We are not passive investors but value added turnaround specialists. We focus on operational and process improvement and the strategic repositioning of businesses.

rare strong expensive best quality highly prized cal-a-man-der Etymology: From the Dutch kalamanderhout: the wood of a Southeast Asian tree, Genus Diospyros, the ebony family. Diospyros Quaesita is the tree from which is obtained the wood known in Sri Lanka as calamander. Also named golden or macassar ebony, it is very rare and is one of the highest quality, and most expensive, timbers. Its closeness of grain, great hardness, and fine hazel-brown colour, mottled and striped with black, render it highly prized as a timber, providing a fine finish with excellent lustre and strength.
