Greater Pacific Capital

Greater Pacific Capital is an investment firm designed to capture investing opportunities in the high growth economies of India and China and its link to the rest of the world. The firm's founders in their time at Goldman Sachs were early believers in the rewriting of the global rules of how things work in politics, economics and societies from the rise of India and China. The rise of India and China has already led to a refocusing of priorities among governments when they negotiate international treaties, companies when they plan expansion and restructuring and investors when they allocate capital. Alongside this refocus, there has been much talk of the decoupling of India and China from the global economy. The firm understands well the need to look at the impact of the two economies from local and international perspectives. This approach has led the firm to recognise the interconnectedness of the two economies to the global economy and has enabled the firm to form a view of the potential development path not only of India and China but also of their longer term impact on other major economies. The firm expects that the rise of the two economies will be a volatile one with many domestic and international obstacles to overcome. Once this is well understood, alongside the opportunities, the risks can be well assessed. The two countries have a history of sharing knowledge and wisdom as well as of confrontation. The peaceful rise of the world, requires the peaceful rise of these two nations. The firm's founders and leaders have personal history in both countries and see the value of working on not only the domestic and international opportunities but also on the linkages and synergies between the two. The trading, manufacturing and services strengths of India and China, while assets of each nation, are also of course the basis of deep mutually dependent ties with the international community. An international community that is either too much in awe or takes too much for granted in dealing with China and India will not help the two to take thoughtful and constructive roles on the world stage. The firm sees itself as a modern pioneer in establishing itself as a merchant financier in Mumbai and Shanghai building relationships, finding opportunities to finance growth and providing strategic and commercial counsel to local and international entrepreneurs. The design of the firm reflects this understanding and has resulted in the firm building a high quality team of internationally and locally experienced people who are nationally diverse, professionally broad and who work together in a mission to be a positive force in the changes to come.
