Its go-to-market is direct, relationship-led enterprise and government advisory, with no disclosed marketing-led funnel.

The firm's track record includes a RM3 billion Government Guaranteed Sukuk Wakalah for Johor Corporation Berhad (2012), cross-border BOT advisory in Vietnam and Pakistan (2009), IPO advisory on Bursa Malaysia (2012), and recurring PPP Waste-to-Energy mandates in 2021.
