‘Regarding the Offshore Alert article on Belvedere, no MBMG
Group entities, their employees or any clients are in any way exposed as a
result of either the rumours contained in the article or the investigations detailed by the MFSC in the
communiqué it has issued in response.
Following a strategic review undertaken in 2012 MBMG Group
began to implement a new structure to provide fee-based advice in Thailand from
a SEC-regulated company, MBMG Investment Advisory Company, and Asset Management
in Singapore from MBMG Group Singapore Pte.In addition, the Monetary Authority of Singapore stipulated
last year as part of its licensing requirement severing ties with
Mauritius. This in no way reflects on
Mauritius, its regulators, any of the parties there that we’ve worked with at
various times or any of the current rumours or investigations.
It merely represents MBMG Group’s commitment to provide the
very highest quality of
service with the highest level of regulation and
transparency from its bases in Thailand and Singapore.

MBMG’s ‘aggressive’ portfolio managed by MBMG Asset
Management Chief Investment Officer Paul Gambles outperformed its ARC benchmark
by 19.89% in 2011.“This is just as impressive as the ‘aggressive’
performance given the extremely tight risk mandate in the ‘cautious’ investment
sector,” said Gambles.
Additional market-beating results were achieved through
MBMG’s partnership with Cobus Kellerman of Lancelot Investments SARC, Scott
Campbell and Martin Gray of Miton Optimal Guernsey. MBMG’s ‘cautious’ portfolio
outperformed its ARC benchmark by 0.92%..”

relationship with both Belvedere and Kellerman, giving the glowing reports they
have given in print on both, and also given that in May 2013 Belvedere was
sponsoring a charity golf tournament in Thailand where both Macdonald and
Gamble turned up to dish out the prizes and that was not the only event. In fact the association between them seems to
have dated back to at least 2004.
