             Let us introduce ourselves  

 

TMA was established in November 1995 as a Singapore based consulting company servicing corporates in South East Asia.  Since then our regional coverage has increased to include Korea, Japan and Australia.  TMA continues to target corporates in East Asia for consulting opportunities, as well as accepting appointments from American and European corporates for project work in East Asia.

 

Our Consultants 

Every job appointment that we are privileged to undertake will be personally attended to by either, or both,  of our Executive Directors and key consultants,  Chew Chung Huang and Jennifer Chan.

Where necessary, we pool together the expertise of our  pool of Affiliates with full disclosure to, and with the consent of, our clients.  Work undertaken with our Affiliates are project - specific, and confidentiality undertakings are obtained for the benefit of our clients.

Chew Chung Huang 

Chung Huang brings with him more than 20 years experience in banking,  contributing his skills in Business Development, Credit Assessment and Risk Management to top-rated Continental European financial institutions in areas of Investment Banking, Project Financing, Leveraged Structured Financing and Structured Trade & Commodity Financing.   As of September 1996, he has been the Senior Consultant with TMA.   Prior to joining TMA,  he served as a member of the Regional Credit Committee for the Union Bank of Switzerland,  responsible for all corporate accounts in the East Asia region. His experience includes being engaged as an expert witness with regards to banking practices, as well as leading a due diligence team in a major  M&A transaction.

Jennifer Chan 

Jennifer read law in the National University of Singapore and practised corporate commercial law with a leading firm in Singapore. Prior to joining TMA she assumed responsibilities as in-house legal counsel in 2 European financial institutions, contributing in processing and approving credits of all business development units in corporate finance, structured trade & commodities financing, and private banking. Jennifer has passed all 3 levels of the CFA Program, a body of knowledge encompassing asset valuation, financial reporting and analysis, portfolio management techniques, quantitative methods, and asset valuation models in managing equity, fixed income, and derivative investments for individuals and institutions.  

Jennifer joined TMA in late 1994, and has been a key contributor in the design and development of valuation tools deployed in its consulting & training services. As a consultant, she works well with clients to understand their needs, specify design and craft strategic management tools, and assist management to implement such tools to create value within the organisation.  

Our attitude

We'd like to add value, and believe we are well positioned to do so because we are :

  • experienced in financial lending and corporate valuation issues, with a healthy understanding of corporate strategies on achieving competitive advantages as well as managing and attaining Shareholder Value ;

  • well positioned within the banking industry and investment community, and understand well how financiers / investors view corporate lending / investment proposals;

  • well equipped to structure, package, put forth and negotiate proposals on behalf of corporates; and

  • able to act as a sounding board from which discrete enquiry can be made with lenders / investors as to their risk appetites without attracting any adverse reaction.

We observe a distinct trend, well before the economic crisis, for well established corporates to hone their competitive advantages by focusing on value creation for their shareholders through superior return on invested capital and sound growth strategy.  We have had the privilege of consulting corporates and bankers on competitive strategy and valuation methodologies.

TMA exercises high standards of professionalism and continually benchmarks itself against “best practices” used by our peers.  Our experience in the region has conditioned us to be sensitive to local cultures and aspirations.  At the same time, we are willing to take risks in our thinking to achieve a higher level of performance.  We adopt a simple, yet robust, hands-on approach in our dealings.

Should we have the privilege of working with you / your clients, we assure you we will extend the same care and commitment toward ensuring the success of the exercise.

 

Now, it's your turn ...

As part of TMA’s customer focusedness emphasis, we continuously collate feedback from the market on various issues.  We'd appreciate it very much if you would take the time to go through our survey.   Please be assured that all information provided will be kept strictly confidential.
