The Firm
Value Partners Limited (“VPL”) was founded in 1993 by Dato’ Seri CHEAH Cheng Hye and
Mr. V-Nee YEH and is wholly-owned by Value Partners Hong Kong Limited (“VPHK”), the
immediate holding company, while Value Partners Group Limited (“VP Group” or “VP”) is the
ultimate holding company. Previously, VPL was wholly-owned by VP Group, who also wholly-
owned VPHK. In December 2011, VP Group transferred all its interests in VPL to VPHK, which
resulted in VPL being wholly-owned by VPHK. VPHK continues to be wholly-owned by VP
Group.
VP Group is an investment management group listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange
of Hong Kong Limited (Stock code: 806) and is the holding company of several operating
investment management and advisory businesses. VP Group is headquartered in Hong Kong,
with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and London. Both VPL
and VPHK share the same personnel, policies and procedures.

Investment Philosophy
VP generally employs an investment philosophy of buying securities that appear underpriced
based upon an analysis of the financial statements, management, current health and competitive
advantages of the issuer of the securities when compared to its competitors and markets. This
approach is commonly referred to as “value investing”.
VP employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, one that is based on our value investing
discipline and focuses on intensive fundamental research. This type of research involves analysis
of companies based on their own merit without regard for the specific sectors in which they
participate or the current economic conditions but looks closely at each company’s management,
business model, growth prospects as well as other company characteristics.
VP provides investment management and advisory services and offers a broad spectrum of
investment solutions for both institutional and individual clients in Asia, Europe and North
America. VP product suite currently includes equities, fixed income, money market and multi-
asset. VP concentrates its investment expertise regarding securities traded in Asian markets,
particularly the Greater China region.
Advisory Services
VP serves as a discretionary investment
manager, sub-investment manager or investment
advisor, focusing in Greater China region, mainly to:
privately placed, pooled investment vehicles (“Private Funds”);
collective investment funds authorized by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures
Commission (“Authorized Funds”);
Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”); and
segregated accounts (“Segregated Accounts”).
The disclosures contained in VP’s Part 2 of Form ADV (“Brochure”) are designed solely to
provide information about VP and the investment management/advisory business it
conducts. None of the discussions regarding the Authorized Funds, UCITS or Private
Funds (collectively “Funds”) shall constitute a solicitation of an offer to buy or an offer to
sell the securities of the Funds.
Private Funds, Authorized Funds and UCITS
VP manages the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective, strategy and
guidelines. A description of the investment objective, strategy and risk factors of each Fund is set
forth in each Fund’s offering document. For Private Funds, the offering document consists of a
confidential private placement memorandum (“PPM”) and for the Authorized Funds and UCITS,
these descriptions are contained in the explanatory memorandum (“EM”) or prospectus
(“Prospectus”). The Funds are not tailored to the individual needs of any particular investor and
all investors are cautioned to consider whether a Fund meets their individual investment
objectives and risk tolerance prior to investing.
Segregated Accounts
VP also provides investment management or advisory services to Segregated Accounts which are
tailored to meet each client’s stated investment objectives, strategies, restrictions or guidelines.
These are all specified in the investment management/advisory contract between VP and the
client. Each Segregated Account serviced by VP may be referred to herein as a “Segregated
Account Client” or “Client” throughout the brochure.
Segregated Account Clients may impose additional investment guidelines and restrictions upon
VP’s agreement. These can include guidelines designed to reduce risk e.g. not permitting
derivatives, single stock or sector restrictions. Clients are required to inform VP in writing of
these guidelines and restrictions, and these are then coded in Charles River Investment
Management System to ensure investment compliance.
Side Letter Arrangements
VP or its associates or its Funds may enter into side letter arrangements with investors granting
an investor preferred economic and other terms as compared to other shareholders. These may
include, but are not limited to, rebates of fees and/or charges payable to VP or its associates and
the reservation of capacity in the Funds. VP or its associates may also agree to consult with or
obtain prior approval from particular investors before taking certain actions with respect to the
Funds.
