About Us
Yao Teng Investment Fund SPC (Yao Teng) is a mutual fund company registered at Cayman Islands with the registration number 1625606.
Investment Strategy
We mainly acquire, refurbish or renovate overseas properties to enhance their value and sell with a premium return through direct investments in well established property developers or establishing joint-ventures.
We mainly source off-market deals to scout for properties which are undervalued and to secure bank development/construction loans to enhance our cash flow and maximize return. We also tend to acquire premium properties with ready-to-commence permits to shorten the project cycle.
We seize the strong demand for immigration needs in countries with friendly immigration policies that favour real estate investments for value appreciation, sustainability and liquidity. At the same time, we monitor closely our property portfolio and review the market conditions timely to maintain healthy growth and to capture the mid-to-long term currency appreciation trend while balancing or hedging short term risks.
