Global Focus • Emerging Market Priority
Changoo & Associates operates under a global mandate with a clear emphasis on stable, non-conflict emerging markets. We prioritize assets and platforms that demonstrate intrinsic financial merit, structural readiness, and alignment with our sectoral theses. Bankability, governance, and execution credibility remain non-negotiable.

All structures must comply with rigorous legal, accounting, and risk standards consistent with institutional mandates.
