SINGAPORE, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Kamet Capital (“Kamet”), a pioneering Singaporean multi-single-family office renowned for its transformative investments, is intensifying its focus on investing in Chinese enterprises with global aspirations. Amid economic challenges and fierce domestic competition, Kamet’s expertise in guiding resilient companies toward profitable international growth is more relevant than ever.
Navigating Economic Shifts and Global Opportunities
The Chinese market has faced tightening profit margins and strong economic headwinds in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2024. Despite these challenges, China’s consumer market is still the largest globally. In recent years, domestic consumer brands have emerged and redefined trends, surpassing traditional foreign competitors and establishing dominance in the market.
Looking beyond the local domestic market, the significant overseas Chinese diaspora—estimated at 60 million, with nearly 35 million residing in Southeast Asia—still offers many untapped opportunities. Recent notable successes, including Luckin Coffee, Pop Mart, and BYD, showcase Chinese companies’ competitive advantage when entering overseas markets. Pop Mart, for example, has achieved an overseas gross profit margin (GPM) approximately four percentage points higher than its domestic sales in 2023, underscoring the margin potential in less saturated markets.
“Companies that have thrived in China’s fiercely competitive landscape, where value-driven consumers set the bar, are uniquely positioned to extend their operational moats overseas,” said Kerry Goh, Founder, CEO, and CIO of Kamet Capital. “The ‘go global or go home’ mindset is now deeply ingrained among Chinese enterprises and their founders. Backed by mature supply chains and growing international recognition of their brands, these companies are primed to penetrate global markets with fewer competitive pressures and greater pricing flexibility. Recognising this opportunity, Kamet has strategically pivoted from focusing solely on China’s onshore markets to championing Chinese enterprises with strong globalisation potential.”
Kamet Capital’s Value Proposition: Empowering Growth with Patient USD Capital and Exclusive Strategic Partnerships
Kamet Capital delivers more than just financial backing – it provides visionary founders with patient USD capital and unrivalled access to exclusive strategic partnerships. Through a robust network of seasoned entrepreneurs and first-generation wealth creators in the consumer, healthcare, and technology sectors, Kamet equips investee companies with unparalleled expertise and transformative guidance. These influential partners have a proven record of building industry-leading corporations, offering critical insights to overcome the challenges of scaling internationally and fostering operational moats that drive impactful global expansion.
Kamet’s strategic alliances, forged within its Founders Club, and its profound understanding of global markets—especially in Southeast Asia—enable the firm to accelerate market entry and unlock exponential growth. This capability is exemplified by the successful partnership it recently facilitated between Malaysia’s Mr DIY and its Chinese investee company KKV.
“We provide more than just capital—we forge lasting partnerships that fuel long-term growth,” emphasised Kerry. “Beyond offering patient USD capital, we dedicate substantial time, resources, and strategic insights to ensure each business achieves sustained success. Our partnerships, particularly across Asia, deliver the strategic advantage our investee companies need to thrive globally, underpinned by tailored localisation strategies that ensure robust and scalable growth.”
Commitment to Localisation
Anchored in Singapore as a pioneering multi-single-family office, Kamet has helped many first-generation founders establish roots in Singapore. Now, it is seizing the next wave of opportunity—guiding these founders’ companies through the complexities of globalisation, including setting up branches in Singapore and the broader Southeast Asia region. Globalising Chinese enterprises overseas is a natural extension amid economic challenges and fierce domestic competition. Kamet’s expertise in guiding resilient companies toward profitable international growth is more relevant than ever.
