"I look forward to creating a new kind of investment vehicle at Quinsam" Mr. Dent said. "In recent months the small cap market has been showing signs of improvement and I think we are in the early stages of a strong recovery and so our timing could not be better.

Quinsam will be an agile and disciplined investor in the small cap market and although we do not plan to specifically focus on activist investor opportunities, we will consider investments where value can be surfaced or created through activism. To enhance our success rate and generate superior returns we will offer our investee companies with a range of advisory services."
