What's that?!
'It's a new entity, boss.'
What, like a new monster or something???
'No.'
Oh.
I'm bored already.
Hi Michael,
'Who the hell is that?!'
I don't know.
'It might be that new monster you were going on about.'
Maybe.
Boutique investment bank DAI Magister has partnered with TC Capital, an established investment bank in Asia, to form the new entity TC Magister.
Oh, right. I understand now.
TC Magister is an advisory arm in Asia focused solely on climate related projects. It will be chaired by Marc Deschamps, co-head of DAI Magister, and Ravi Chidambaram, Co-Founder and President of TC Capital, will serve as CEO.
Please see the full release below for more details. If you would like an interview with Marc, please get in touch.
Many thanks,
Joe
'It's Joe!'
Yeah, right. Joe who?! Never mind.
'Joe the monster!'
Ha, ha, ha! Don't be ridiculous, Voice.
Oh, I don't give interviews, by the way. I'm all mysterious, like Prince.
DAI Magister, the boutique investment bank offering full advisory services for transactions within the climate tech, fintech, tech-enabled commerce and communications sectors, has announced a new partnership with TC Capital, an established investment bank in Asia.
Under the terms of the partnership "TC Magister" will be created, a pure-play sustainability and climate tech focused advisory service covering Asia, based out of Singapore.
With existing mandates within the climate tech space and more climate related projects in the pipeline, TC Capital itself was established to provide emerging, high-growth and mid cap tech companies and private equity funds in emerging and established Asia markets with the same quality investment banking services offered to large companies.
Okay. What does Marc say though? 'What does he state?' What?! 'What does he state, boss?' Oh, Christ. It's going to be one of those days.
I can just tell.
Marc Deschamps, Chairman, TC Magister, states: "Asia stands at the forefront of many climate initiatives. Across Asia-Pacific (APAC), more than 15 countries and 670 companies have set (or are committed to setting) emission-reduction targets, thereby creating new investment opportunities in green technology, according to McKinsey. But it must not be overlooked that the region also benefits from an extensive nature-based capital asset that can play a significant role in contributing to worldwide net zero, while simultaneously preserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
"It is our view that climate-tech investment has multiplied in a very short space of time - so much so that over the next year or two, climate-related tech investing will become the single biggest tech investment area worldwide."
All right, Marc. Thanks for stating that. You could have just "said" something like everyone else, but I suppose you want to be special, don't you?
Unbelievable!
'Boss.'
What, Voice?
'Ravi wants to add something.' Okay. Are you sure he doesn't want to state something because I'm not in the mood. 'He wants to add, I promise you.' Fine.
Ravi? Come on, son!
Ravi Chidambaram, CEO, TC Magister, adds: "With the United Nations promoting its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), many in Southeast Asia are now actively engaging and we are seeing a huge rise in climate tech start-ups. Investment in the climate tech sector is on the rise, as venture capitalists, angel investors, and government-backed environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) programmes evaluate sustainability and eco-credentials when considering funding.
"We are delighted to have joined forces with DAI Magister to launch this new initiative - TC Magister - bringing as it does the skills and knowledge of our two businesses together to offer a bespoke funding vehicle throughout Southeast Asia and beyond."
Nice one! Thanks, man.
The senior management team at TC Magister will also include Dr Tommy Tan, the Co-Founder and CEO of TC Capital and Masaru Shibata, the current MD of TC Capital.
Yeah, whatever.

Anything else?
Music?
I just need a few more words to put into the verses for Lovers On The Make, and then I'm done.
'Yippee!'
Yeah.
That will be five songs written this year. Although I already had the music for four of them.
I don't want to get in that situation again, you know, where I have loads of tunes with no lyrics.
One complete song at a time from now on!
I'm definitely addicted. I mean, I'm wondering what the next song will be like. Just trying to imagine, you dig?
There's no ultimate satisfaction, man. You have to keep going. Well, I do.
Laters.
