About Us...
KPS Capital Group, while investing in capital structures,
has determined to avoid what is known in the developing world as
the " resource curse ". This is the exploitation of a nations
resources without a return to the citizens of the dividends of
the blessings of their natural resources.
KPS, aggressively seeking a profit for our efforts, has
found opportunities to return a dividend to a host country
through a method or design by which we can enhance and stimulate
a country or regions economic activity.
Many undeveloped economies cannot provide all the
resources necessary to independently raise their economy to a
sustained vibrancy to reach all the wants and expectations of
its peoples. But with an influx of foreign investment of
manufacturing, assembly and distribution the picture changes.
The foreign investment may not be focused on the host country as
an end user for it to greatly affect its economy. The
opportunity of jobs for laborers, skilled and unskilled, and the
support services that do exist in the country can give direction
and impetus. The foreign investments will give the
entrepreneurial spirit of the host country an outlet of
expression that will stimulate the hope and drive and ambition
of those who are in need of that spark of encouragement.
Idealistic...yes. Realistic...probably so! And that is our hope.
We know that the success of this design needs a healthy
start. And we start by not asking the host country to provide
funds for our investments.
So we look first at the electrical power generation needs
of the country. We identify power
generation plants to purchase and/or construct. And we
want to invest in the regional or national electrical grid to
make sure it is capable of receiving, transmitting and
distributing the electricity that is generated. This also means
making sure the amount of electricity generated and used is
accounted for and proper payment is received from the end user.
This revenue means we are able to provide our investors an
attractive rate of return. Also, we want to use a portion of
this revenue to invest back into the infrastructure of the
country.
Now, it helps in the initial stages to have both airport
and shipping port facilities to handle
the movement of goods and equipment coming in and going
out by the manufacturing, assembly and distribution companies
locating in the country. We want the foreign investment to see
that all necessary supporting infrastructure is in place and
ready for them.
We go in and locate and develop industrial parks that have
access to usable airports and shipping ports. We may need to
invest in these airports and shipping ports to make sure they
are capable of handling an increasing demand by the foreign
investments. And we want to make sure there are sufficient roads
and rail service to connect all of this together.
We make money by investing in the electrical power plants
which have the necessary and proper Power Purchase Agreements.
We develop and manage the industrial parks and make money doing
it. We invest money for the development or improvements required
to bring the airports and shipping ports up to grade and make
money doing it. We construct or improve the necessary roads and
railways and maybe we make some money doing it. We construct the
infrastructure needed to support these activities such as storm
drains,
water and sewer treatment plants, ambulance and
fire/rescue, medical facilities, initial housing and so on.
We save by trading these facilities for tax advantages and also
make money on them.
We receive revenue from all our investments and the more
foreign investment there is adds to the value of our
investments.
All of this helps to stabilize the currency which of
course is an important consideration to investing.
Some regions or countries will need the full investment
portfolio. Some will only need portions to help complete its
initial advancement of its economy.
And with some countries the government may not be
advantageous to the development of
its economy. And so we will move on elsewhere.
Our vision is to invest as we can and to hopefully assist
the economy with an upward push.
We do not expect to always be able to invest in the full
need of an economy. Therefore we will syndicate with other
investment groups. And in some instances we will encourage other
investment groups to invest independently. The more activity the
more the potential for us to make money.
Without a doubt we look hard at how we will make a profit.
We can't and won't invest if there is no profit picture in view.
We are not a charity.
And we will not leave a " resource curse " in our wake!
