The Group views itself as a partner to its portfolio companies, brought in to assist with private and public sector initiatives and capital markets. Managers of portfolio companies are entrusted to run their businesses with complete independence, while having the option to receive additional value-add support from 9Basil, offered from the list of resources made available to them. With 22 employees based in Bangkok and Singapore, 9Basil has dedicated team members to support portfolio companies without having to intervene in management matters. Kris Panijpan, co-founder and Managing Partner of 9Basil, said: "We are extremely grateful for the support from our Limited Partners in this highly volatile and challenging market. We aim for our investments to be meaningful and it is only with patient capital–and patient investors–that we can achieve that. For this Fund, we intend to continue to add value by developing proprietary insights and building bridges for our portfolio companies. We will advance our own capabilities so that we can become an ever-growing resource for our managers and investors." As a long-term investor with high conviction in its own investments, 9Basil is looking to increasingly participate in its own funds alongside investors and eventually build a larger permanent capital base that may also see participation from a different composition of investors/partners moving forward. 9Basil's private equity strategy focuses on investing in profitable businesses across Southeast Asia with defensible moats and strong management teams. Notable investments from the Firm's first fund include Ngern Tid Lor, Alpha Capital Partners Group, and Sourcefit.
