1.Investment Overview

Investment Overview

From its humble beginnings in 1904 as a simple brokering company, to a dynamic Group with mul�ple interests closely kni�ed to Sri Lanka’s economic expansion, the Bartleet vision has always been to connect effec�vely and build efficiently.

That is the driving force behind every visionary dream birthed by the Bartleet Group, resul�ng in pioneering a gamut of successful businesses and ventures over the past 110 years. Since then we have evolved and transformed ourselves to create a steadfast legacy that has contributed to economic growth and enhanced the lives of many Sri Lankans.

As the next phase of the Company’s realigned strategic plan is unveiled, Bartleet is exploring new avenues to form strategic partnerships and alliances to take that vision to the far corners of Sri Lanka and the whole of South Asia.

Characterised by a spirit of entrepreneurial ingenuity coupled with excep�onal delivery standards at the opera�onal level, the Bartleet Group has enjoyed phenomenal growth in its mul�ple spheres of business. This has enabled us to stand the test of �me in upholding the trust of our valued clientele and thereby consistently delivering an impressive product and service por�olio for over a century.

1.1 Pioneering Efforts & Investor Relations

Having pioneered some innova�ve efforts within the Financial and IT sectors of the country, our involvement in bringing about a posi�ve change within these sectors is a legacy on its own. Having laid a solid founda�on for the banking sector through such IT enhancements, we also hold fort and play leading roles in many other business ver�cals of the country. From stock and money broking, wealth management, life insurance, mineral quartz processing to even preserving our dominant posi�on within the tea and export industries, we have holis�cally contributed towards a sound na�on building campaign.

From global conglomerates like Religare Securi�es to the Life Insurance Corpora�on of India, who have enabled the Bartleet Group to stay compe��ve in a vola�le environment, the Company seeks like-minded en��es who can further assist the Company’s ability to penetrate markets in India, China and Europe (I.C.E). Founded as a family run business opera�ng in its 3rd genera�on of entrepreneurs, the Company likens itself to admirable Chinese cultural value systems that thrive on stability and perseverance. With the current Free Trade Agreements in place with I.C.E countries, Sri Lanka is well placed for a deeper investment thrust.

As a longstanding corporate ci�zen of the country, we have weathered some of the most grue-some �mes of the country’s history and have emerged stronger than ever. Backed by a culture that operates on integrity, honesty, reliability and good governance, Bartleet is ready to take our unflinching vision to the 21st century.

THE BOOMINGSRI LANKA

2. The Booming Sri Lanka


The Booming Sri Lanka is a stronger Sri Lanka, ready to seize investment opportuni�es arising from its emergent prospects. Having exhibited economic resilience through a destruc�ve 30 year civil war and the devasta�ng tsunami of 2004; the country has bounced back to portray the phenomenal strengths of its people and infrastructure by welcoming foreign partnerships in almost all economic segments. Spearheaded by development efforts steadily underway in the soaring capital of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s economic landscape is emerging as a progressively stable des�na�on for investments.

Flaun�ng a 90% literacy rate, the country is emerging with a large demographic segment of educated young adults to lead the South Asian Region in its Human Development Indicators. A demographic segment that has completed their higher educa�on while being steadily exposed to the English language propels the country towards enhanced business discipline prac�ces and impressive levels of trainability.

2.1.3 Economic Freedom / Business Environment

Sri Lanka has climbed to the 81st ranking in the 2013 Index of Economic Freedom published by the Heritage Founda�on, which is a significant gain from theprevious ranking of 107 back in 2010. With a score of 60.7 in the Economic Freedom Index, the country is portraying fiscal and investment freedom as well as control of government spending. Sri Lanka is also ranked 13 among the 41 Asia Pacific Region countries to represent a score that is above both regional and world averages.

The transparency of the Legal/Tax system is alluring to any investor who, upon signing anagreement with the BOI (Board of Investment), would be granted eligibility for various exemp�ons for the full tenure of the enterprise. Tax holidays, preferen�al tax rates, exemp�ons from customs duty and foreign exchange controls are among some of the benefits to be an�cipated.

Sri Lanka is commi�ed to free enterprise and individual freedom. The safety of foreign investment is thus guaranteed through the acceptance by two third majority of Parliament of the Cons�tu�onal Guarantee of Investment Protec�on Agreements. Under ar�cle 157 of the country's cons�tu�on, the agreement enjoys the force of law and no legisla�ve, execu�ve or administra�ve ac�on can be taken to contravene the provisions of a bilateral investment agreement other than in the interests of na�onal security.

2.1.4 Transparent Legal / Constitutional Tax Systems

Well on its way to becoming the economic hub of the South Asian Region, Sri Lanka is poised to opens many a doors to the SAARC countries. Led by the thriving capital of Colombo that repre-sents the country’s economic and administra�ve epicentre, the city leads the country through its impressive fleet of development endeavours. Armed with the strengths of the solid infrastructure of the city, Colombo holds a phenomenal track record of pioneering steadfast telecommunica�on ini�a�ves and holds a commanding posi�on of leading the industry within the South Asian region.

3. Objectives & Strategic Focus for 2020

Our corporate objec�ves encapsulate every aspect of our being that translate onto a purpose driven tac�cal plan for the next five years; a plan that we hope to achieve through the realigned Company Vision.

NationBuilding DriveIn accomplishing these objec�ves, the primary focus remains to engage in a holis�c na�onbuilding drive towards 2020.

CommunityDevelopment

The Bartleet Group has also taken valiant steps toward pioneering community development efforts within the country. Working at grass root levels, we are partnering mammoth na�onal projects that alleviate poverty and warrant the welfare of widows and orphans. Our partners can therefore ride on that same authen�city and efficacy bestowed on us for over a century, inexploring avenues that will give returns on the long term. In serving the community our focus is on embracing a ‘Social Market Economy’ that would facilitate an economy that runs on social needs.

Philanthropy

Thriving on a unique strategic drive that gives us an unparalleled compe��ve edge towards 2020, we seek direc�on from a strategic thrust that is grounded on philanthropy. This policy in return leads us to key decision and policy makers of Sri Lanka who will enable us to fulfil our objec�ves. Propelled by this certainty, our philanthropic vision pertains to giving, not merely as a goodwill gesture, but because the principle is inculcated in the very core of our opera�onal backbone.

Investment Thrust

Investor, partner or joint venture, we seek en��es with a healthy appe�te for investment inSri Lanka to join force with us and strengthen our strategic drive. Moving away from tradi�onal organisa�onal structures, our aim is to capitalise on the strengths of global players within the group such as Religare Securi�es and Life Insurance Corpora�on of India who have enabled us to carry forward this unflinching strategic drive.
