Asia Debt Management Hong Kong has presented a fund dedicated to investing in recovery situations in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan. The ADM Kazakhstan Capital Restructuring Fund will concentrate on privately-owned, small to medium-sized companies over a wide range of sectors with limited access to external capital as a means to grow. ”In the aftermath of the global economic crisis, Kazakhstan’s troubled banking system has paralysed the country’s economic growth,” says Robert Appleby, chief investment officer of ADM Capital. “However, access to external credit can propel debt-burdened companies with otherwise healthy fundamentals back into profitability. We see solid investment opportunities throughout the region.”
