Redland: "US-based Private Equity Funds" by David Darmawan, Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer

In forming a US-based private equity fund, Redland Merchant Capital Corporation must address different issues: sucs as Tax and other structuring issues at four levels: the investors level, the fund level, the portfolio investment level and the fund manager level. Redland structured itself addresses the investors tax issues that a fund sponsor will typically face when determining what type of entity the fund will be and in which jurisdiction it will be formed.

At Redland Merchant Capital Corporation, we have prepared different scenarios in the investors level issues, Tax Objectives of most US investors, Tax Objectives of Most Non-US Investors, Specific Tax Objectives of Certain Non-US Investors, Basic US Tax Regime Applicable to Non-US Investors, Specific Tax Objectives of certain US Investors.

We are studying the best entity and the best Jurisdiction for a specific scenario at our best knowledge. We do cover all factors affecting the choice of jurisdiction and its parallel Investment Structure. Its alternative Jurisdiction and Co-Investment Entities.

Redland "Energy"

Redland pada saat ini selalu bisa di kaitkan dengan jatuh bangunnya proyek-proyek di bidang "Energy" dalam arti kata "Energy" secara keseluruhan; Power, Oil and Gas related projects. Redland di "Chair Person" oleh Mr. Durry Abdurachman, yang boleh di katakan salah satu mantan "Charge d'affaire" or maybe "Chief Country Officer" dari beberapa Proyek-proyek Energy di bidang kelistrikan "Tractebel" (Belgian Power Conglomerate) di pertengahan tahun 90an di Indonesia. Yang di mana saat ini Tractebel dan Suez di paksa di pisahkan? oleh Uni Eropa. Saat Redland (Redland Merchant Capital Corporation) memulai penjajakan investasinya di Indonesia. Redland pun bermuara pada proyek-proyek yang besar korelasinya dengan Energy: - Proyek LNG Regasification Plant di Grati, Pasuruan, JATIM dengan Petrogas Wira Jatim (pending). - Medco Power Indonesia (MPI), anak perusahaan dari Medco Energi Internasional untuk me-refinance unit Panaran 1 & 2 di Batam (dalam proses). Sampai dengan rencana Tim manajemen PT. Redland Capital Asia Tbk. untuk lebih mempelajari kemungkinan Redland berpartisipasi di beberapa proyek2 Energy. Yang berbentuk Holding atau perusahaan induk yang akan membantu dari segi Financial structurenya! yang sudah mempunyai beberapa wacana dan riset di bidang Energi Terbarukan (Renewable Energy) dan "Waste to Energy". Beberapa pendekatan dan bahkan proses penjajakan kerja sama, telah di lakukan oleh pihak Tim Manajemen "Redland Merchant Capital Corporation" dari awal tahun 2006 untuk ikut dan berperan penting di pembangunan beberapa pembangkit tenaga listrik di Indonesia. Yang ada di dalam Program pembangunan pembangkit tenaga listrik "10.000" MW dan beberapa proses pembangunan melalui "Independent Power Producer" (IPP).

"Filsafat sebuah Perubahan". En; "The Philosophy of Change".

E. Economic Values O. Organizational values

This is the story of two theories.

Bagaimana tim manajemen "Redland" akhirnya di percayakan memanage satu perusahaan Publik di Indonesia. Menjadi satu tim management perusahaan terbuka (.tbk).
Yang asalnya tim management "Redland" adalah satu tim yang memanage perusahaan holding; Redland Merchant Capital Corporation yang terdaftar di Indiana, USA. Yang memulai aktivitasnya di Eropa semenjak pertengahan tahun 90an. Yang Banyak berpartisipasi aktif di bidang "angels Investing" di Era Internet Boom. Dan merintis pembentukan Free-bank.com holding di Swiss pada saat itu. Merekonstruksi platform perbankan dan operasionalnya di Luxembourg. Di bawah bimbingan para senior-senior "redland" yg terdiri dari "GeschaaftFuhrer"nya DCCG, Deutsche Clearing Und Counter Trade GmbH; Mr. Wolf Tawakol. Di bawah naungan salah satu pendiri "Redland" dan Komisaris Utama "PT. Redland Asia Capital Tbk." saat ini, Mr. Durry Abdurachman yang pada saat itu juga menjabat sebagai Chairman dari A&R (Assesment & Research) Indonesia European Union Development Cooperation. Di bawah kendali ilmiah Hugues-Pierre Baum Ph.d, Redland pun bekerja sama dan menuai ilmu dengan senior bankers yg berasal dari Fortis (Mr. Pierre-Henry Luc d'Enrard, he was Chief ALM; Chief Asset and Liabilities Management) Barclays Bank; Private banking (Mr. Philippe Coulon), senior dari perusahaan sekuritas seperti former Deustsche Bank Securities (Mr. Bernard Miche, former Belgian Chief Executive Officer).
"Redland" pada akhirnya kembali ke tanah air tercinta, dengan konsep "Financial Engineering" yg berbasiskan "Private Equity" (Venture Capital dan Hedge Fund linked) yg menciptakan satu "Joint Venture Investment Banking Network".

"Redland" is a story of people. A university of LIFE, a BANK of Hope and willingness and the maker and the machine of DREAM. Together, we'll make it happen! Empire in the making.

"Redland" is a network of people. People who make "Redland" as it is Today!

"People who filled Redland with Emotion".
