Q
How does new technology investment differ from other investment areas?

A

The New Technology Investment Fund is a long-term fund that invests in technology-driven companies and typically provides access to private placements and listed mezzanine instruments that are generally difficult for individual investors to access. The fund broadly targets technology-based growth sectors, including AI, biotechnology and medical devices, semiconductors, materials and components, renewable energy, and content/IP. Structured with a typical maturity of approximately 7 to 10 years, the fund aims to capture long-term growth and returns from the early stages of a company’s development.

Q
For those interested in investing in new technologies, what tips would you recommend to prepare in advance?

A

It is recommended to an industry or company of interest and, from the perspective of an investment analyst, summarize key investment points and associated risks based on regulatory filings, news articles, and investor relations materials. Additionally, continuously reviewing annual reports or analyst research on a specific sector can greatly enhance understanding of the industry cycle and value chain, providing valuable insights for informed investment decisions.

Q
Are there specific criteria you always check when evaluating private companies?

A

In general, we assess revenue growth rates, profitability structure, and the clarity of the business model. In addition, we broadly evaluate barriers to entry, including competitive intensity, technology, patents, regulations, and capital, while also examining the financial stability of the company, such as leverage ratios. For early-stage ventures, particular emphasis is placed on the capabilities of key personnel and the execution strength of the team.
