KMS Holding Company WLL favors consenting activist investment opportunities, but will pursue aggressive activist investing in particular cases. In situations where management has repeatedly failed to execute on a business plan or make the desired improvements to the company's corporate governance, or there are signs that management may have internal conflicts of interest or are taking actions that have a detrimental impact on the company's operations or performance, KMS Holding Company WLL shall seek to implement the desired improvements through ongoing discussions with management. At times, when progress is not made through these discussions, KMS Holding Company WLL may often seek to take other actions, such as seeking board representation or calling a special shareholder meeting.

Our business lines are Investment funding, Asset Management, and Principal Investments which focuses on Real Estate, Credit, and Equity Investments; all supported by a dedicated Client Coverage and Distribution team.

Late stage pre-IPO private equity allocations are made with the intention of profiting from a post-IPO sale of the holding, rather than planning for it to be a buy and hold long-term (i.e. 2 years+) investment. PIPE investments are made in cases where there are catalysts or the potential for catalysts (i.e. completion of later phases of drug trials) occurring in the near future (i.e. 6 to 12 months) to propel the stock forward and the pricing of securities is at a discount to market value at the time of investment. These transactions are often structured to include provisions designed to protect against loss of principal and minimize risk.

We believe that the depth of experience and expertise of our portfolio manager as an investor in private equity and structured transactions, supplemented by the efforts of an investment team which has worked together for over two decades, is both a competitive advantage and a requisite for properly evaluating and pursuing activist, late stage pre-IPO and PIPE investment opportunities. We have grown to become one of the largest investment company in the country through sound financial management, a talented human resource pool, and the ability to create and avail ourselves of business opportunities that are in line with our policies and strategies. We are optimistic that given the strength and reputation of our company and the confidence that the public have in us our finance business will be able to compete successfully with our business rivals. We are confident that with time our finance business will grow. We will ensure that as our finance business grows the benefits will be enjoyed by the wider business community and in the long run will contribute towards the economic development of the country at large.
