We have traveled abroad extensively seeking out opportunities in countries where few foreign investors participate, information is scare, and the markets are inefficient. We have traveled to 23 countries and within those countries, we have toured 54 companies. With careful analysis, we select those companies offering both excellent value and excellent growth.
