Stern Stewart Capital Partners, SSCP, headquartered in Singapore, is a sister company to the world-renowned Stern Stewart & Co. based in New York. Whereas Stern Stewart & Co. acts as consultant in implementing its proprietary framework for value management called EVA® or Economic value added, SSCP acts as a transactional advisor, corporate financier and funding partner for clients mainly in Asia and Africa. More specifically, SSCP identifies advanced technologies, mid-sized businesses, and developing markets requiring funding and matches them with investors eager to provide financing and growth capital.

The firm has a long-term partnering perspective, choosing as transactional advisor to forgo much or all cash from its fund-raising and transaction fees for a larger equity investment in the companies which it promotes.

The firm promotes stringent and innovative corporate governance and corporate social responsibility guidelines within all the companies in which it and its partners invest. In the spirit of its sister firm Stern Stewart & Co., SSCP encourages its investee companies to let their employees become partners in their ventures, taking less fixed pay and more profit sharing in the entities in which they work. This allows for wider merit-based reward systems to unlock superlative shareholder returns.

The geographic focus of the firm is Africa and Asia; mainly applying Asian capital into Africa. These regions are the global growth zones and share many common characteristics; namely significant requirements for capital, developing markets with major demands for basic goods and services, poor governance systems and an aspiration for applying and using proven first world technology and processes. These regions, however, require creative solutions much different from those applied in the developed world and it is here that SSCP seeks to provide maximum impact for its investee companies.
