Springs Capital aims to create value for clients by attracting top tier talents, building a culture that embraces focus, transparency and collaboration, aligning interests of clients, and investing in robust infrastructure.
Focus, transparency and collaboration
We believe a culture that embraces focus, transparency and collaboration serves as a fertile ground for team members to play out their potentials. We focus on what we are best at with the highest professional standards. We value independent thinking within the team instead of instruction-taking; we seek personal judgment in the process of open discussion more than reaching consensus. We believe that collective strength of a team can be best sustained when independent thinking and expression of personal value play to the fullest extent in a transparent, focused and trusting environment.
Alignment of interests
We aim to serve our investors with a professional and dedicated team, and have structured our business to align the interests of investors, company and employees: a) our business model is driven by performance rather than the size of AuM; b) co-investment from the company and employees is an integral part of total firm AuM; c) performance of investment team is assessed on a long-termism consideration and their incentive depends solely on performance fee generated.
Robust infrastructure
As a fiduciary of client assets, Springs Capital is committed to perform to the highest ethical, investment and operational standards, and anchor our business in vigorous risk management practices. Over the years, we have made substantial investments in building up infrastructure involving all functions of the company, particularly in areas of IT platforms, systems, risk management, operational and compliance. These have borne fruits and earned recognition from tier one international institutional investors.
