Vida  Partners brings to you a union of individuals who have a solid track record in  the
 
private equity management arena. Over the last  10 years  together,  the individuals  
have proven that they have the track  record,  investment  discipline, passion, team  
stability  and  cohesion  that  are mandatory  criteria  of  any  investors  in the  private 
equity arena. 
Vida’s    partners,  both   individually   and   as   a  team  have   acquired   and   built 
invaluable    experience   and   knowledge   in   their  previous   careers  together. This 
partnership  can be viewed as an extension of their careers from Commerce-Ventures.
Between    themselves,  they  managed  RM900  million  of   funds   (as of June 2007) in 
diverse     industries   i.e.   Information    Communication    Technology,    Life   Sciences, 
Manufacturing,    Consumer   and   Industrial   Services,   Education,  Healthcare and 
Agriculture. 
Besides  their broad industry coverage, they also have the understanding and know-
how   to    manage   the   challenges   of   various   stages   of   investments.  Stages of
 
investments    they   made   were   wide   ranging   from   start-ups  to buy-outs.   These 
investments     required   an   amalgamation  of  approaches and skill sets to manage. 
They   
practise    a   disciplined   hands-on   investment   management approach i.e. 
functioning   
together    with   the  entrepreneurs  and  management  of the investee 
companies   in  
achieving   the end and yet not stifling the growth of the relationship, 
always a 
delicate  balance. They strongly believe that value can only be created or 
added if  
comprehensive    understanding   and    appreciation   of   the   business   is 
observed.
