7. Trust Model for Early-Stage Investment
Maysen Trust adopts a unique model for early-stage investments, wherein it takes initial positions in promising opportunities. This strategy allows the Trust to:
• Derisk Investments: By taking an early investment stake, Maysen Trust can mitigate risks associated with new ventures. This proactive approach enables the Trust to support companies in reaching critical milestones.
• Prepare Deals for Additional Investors: Once the initial investment stabilizes the company and demonstrates viability, the Trust positions the opportunity for less risk-averse private investors to come on board.
This phased approach enhances the overall appeal of the investment, making it more attractive for subsequent funding rounds.
The Investment Process
The investment process at Maysen Group Trust is carefully structured to ensure a thorough evaluation and continuous support for companies seeking capital. Deals are introduced to the Trust through Investment Representatives, who are engaged by the Trust via an Engagement and Referral Agreement. These representatives play a crucial role in identifying potential investment opportunities that align with the Trust's objectives.
1. Sourcing and Organizing the Opportunity
Investment Representatives work to identify businesses or projects that fit Maysen Trust’s focus on sustainable growth in developing economies. Companies must engage with one of the Trust's affiliated investment advisors.
2. Initial Engagement and Review
Once the Engagement Agreement is signed, Maysen Trust conducts a preliminary review of the opportunity to assess its suitability, with a strong focus on delivering returns to investors.
This initial assessment evaluates key factors such as the viability and scalability of the business model, expected Return on Investment (ROI), the credibility and expertise of the management team, potential financial and social impact, and overall financial sustainability.
Additionally, the review ensures alignment with the Trust's mission to promote economic empowerment and sustainable development while prioritizing opportunities that maximize value and profitability for stakeholders.
If the opportunity meets the Trust's criteria, a binding Term Sheet is issued. This document outlines the primary investment terms, ensuring both parties understand the structure and expectations of the potential partnership.
3. Independent Investment Committee Review
Following the initial review, the opportunity moves forward to the Investment Committee, an independent advisory team. The committee provides an impartial assessment of the opportunity, validating the findings of the Trust’s internal review and ensuring the investment fits within the Trust’s overall portfolio. This external oversight helps maintain the integrity of the investment decision process.
4. Comprehensive Due Diligence and Final Decision
After receiving approval from the Investment Committee, the Trust undertakes a detailed Due Diligence process to verify the accuracy of the provided information and assess any risks. The findings of this thorough evaluation inform the final decision on whether to proceed with the investment.
Maysen Group Trust’s investment strategy ensures each opportunity supports its long-term goals of promoting local empowerment and sustainable economic growth, particularly in developing economies.
By fostering partnerships that align with these values, the Trust drives lasting positive change in the communities and regions it serves.
