Investment for the digital economy

Actively managed, tokenised, and exchange traded investments across asset classes and sectors

Introducing Sonata Capital

Sonata Capital Ltd was incorporated and registered in the Labuan International Business & Financial Centre, to invest in companies successfully exploiting the vast opportunities of the digital economy. Originally investing principals funds only, we are acquiring a Fund Manager license, and will be accepting funds from sophisticated investors on completion of the acquisition.

Sonata Capital was launched from Blockchain Labs Asia, a leader in the commercial application of blockchain technologies. Blockchain Labs Asia is the world leader in the creation and issuance of digital securities, with a total value issued in excess of USD 27 billion.

100% of the equity in our funds have been tokenised, and when approved will be listed on digital securities exchanges in Labuan and elsewhere. Our tokens are regulatory compliant, and are issued on the Ethereum blockchain.

An exciting and innovative approach to investment

Sonata Capital employs digital technology itself in the management of its funds, and our equity is tokenised for safety, liquidity, and value.

The Digital Economy

The increasingly widespread adoption of blockchain and other digital technologies is spawning a new and rapidly growing business and financial ecosystem, some of which is a progression of legacy systems, but much of which is entirely new. The digital economy offers significant opportunities in optimising processes and production, reducing transaction costs, and transforming supply chains. The digital economy is worth USD3 trillion today.

A Growth Engine

The digital economy grew 4.3 times faster than the US economy overall from 1997 to 2017, yet still only represented 6.9% of GDP in 2017. The emphasis has shifted from hardware, which is now only 7% of the digital economy, to e-commerce, digital media, and digital assets. Growth is set to accelerate over the next 3 years, as digital securities overtake digital currencies in market value and adoption.

Our Investment Philosophy

Sonata Capital has a deep knowledge and understanding of the digital economy, the opportunities for growth, and the pitfalls therein. Our investment philosophy is to identify private companies with compelling business models and growth strategies, ideally pre IPO/ITO stage, that are exploiting the huge opportunities offered by the burgeoning digital economy.

Liquidity for Investors

All the equity in Sonata Capital's funds has been tokenised so that future investors may trade their holdings directly, via an OTC broker, or on a regulated digital securities exchange, offering trading opportunities and liquidity 24 hrs a day, seven days a week.

Sonata Capital Funds

When launched, our first four funds will give investors the opportunity to easily diversify their portfolio across equities, commodities, digital currencies, and foreign exchange.

Investment Approach

The Sonata Asia Growth Fund will seek equity positions in privately owned companies predominately (but not exclusively) embracing the digital economy and technologies to acheive efficiencies, competitive advantage, and rapid growth.

The fund will actively consider companies at pre IPO or ITO stage, wherein funds raised will be utilised to accelerate growth. The fund will generally not invest in seed rounds for early start-up companies, instead seeking opporunities with successful going concerns.

In particular the fund will focus on private companies with compelling growth strategies, proven fiscal responsibility, strong leadership, and ethical corporate behaviour. The fund's focus on Asia reflects the strong economic growth of the region, and in particular the high adoption of technology by both consumers and companies.

The fund will adopt a prudent, research based approach to the selection of appropriate investments, covering company specific issues as well as sectoral analysis.
