LINQ’s focus is on strategic investments, alliances, and collaboration with companies in and around the Asia-Pacific region in the New Media, Digital Media, and Emerging Media space.
LINQ prefers to explore businesses that have a regional or global reach, with robust operating and financial track records, and with technologies that are not only sustainable, but also could provide areas for value-added, cross-pollination between and among its portfolio of businesses.
In certain instances, LINQ will likewise jointly explore, partner, and/or co-invest with other institutional investors, and private equity and venture capital funds, in and around the Asia-Pacific Region, in some deals and projects, depending on the deal size and complexity.
On December 2007, LINQ made its first investment by acquiring 30% of a Philippine bank called Malayan Bank Savings and Mortgage Bank. LINQ’s investment was meant to capitalize on Malayan Bank’s mobile banking and digital distribution channel of financial services in the Philippines and in the Middle East and other countries where there are burgeoning overseas Filipino workers’ markets.
