History

Founder Travis Hamilton has said that he was inspired by a discussion in 2006 with Robert Friedland, the CEO of Ivanhoe Mines, a Canadian company operating in Mongolia. [7] [8] In 2010, Hamilton left his position at the Helvetica group to explore opportunities in Mongolia. [7] When he found no easy way for outside investment in this market, he then decided to launch a fund. [7]

In November 2011, Khan Investment Management launched the Khan Mongolia Equity Fund, the first open-ended investment fund investing both in companies listed on the Mongolian Stock Exchange and in companies that operate in Mongolia but are listed elsewhere. [3] [9] The fund also participates in Mongolian initial public offerings. [10]

In March 2012, Narantuguldur Saijrakh, former General Manager of Asia Pacific Securities, became its full-time director. [3]
