We look forward to working with Ken to further grow SVI.”

“I am thrilled to embark on this strategic relationship with Leucadia Asset Management to expand SVI and look forward to a successful long-term partnership,” added Ken Xu. “We see many opportunities in China, and this partnership with LAM and its global investor base allows us to capitalize on these prospects.”

As part of the strategic relationship, Leucadia Asset Management is providing capital to SVI along with other support.

About Strategic Vision Investment

Strategic Vision Investment (“SVI”) is an investment company based in Hong Kong focused on investment opportunities with multiple return profiles typically ranging from two to ten years. SVI’s long-term horizon and investment approach aim to avoid short-term noise and to gain a deeper understanding over consensus. Through its long-term proprietary research, SVI seeks to identify structural mega trends that it believes will have a critical impact in creating significant value over the next 10-30 years (Energy Revolution, Industry Consolidation, New Material, Healthcare/Biotech, AI Revolution, Cloud/SaaS). SVI focuses its research efforts and capital on high conviction investment opportunities in these mega trends through its stringent investment criteria and selection process. SVI’s portfolio construction aims to maximize portfolio returns and to mitigate market downturn risk. SVI was previously known as BosValen Asset Management (BVAM), formed by Ken Xu in 2014. To better reflect the nature of its investment philosophy, the company was rebranded Strategic Vision Investment (“SVI”). This new name highlights the firm’s key strength: a strategic vision to seek high-quality investment opportunities for the long-term. For the period January – December 2020, SVI’s Value Multiplier Fund (“Fund”) achieved a net return of 191.7%, and for the period January – May 2021 YTD the Fund has generated a net return of 16.4%. This represents net performance for Class E and is net of management fees (1.25%) and performance fees (12.5%). PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY FUND WILL ACHIEVE ITS OBJECTIVES OR AVOID SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES.
