Tau Capital was originally established to support the strong growth prospects of Kazakhstan and its neighbouring countries, through a mix of public and private equity, and special situations. The Company invested primarily in the dynamic Kazakhstan economy but also in other countries in the region, including the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Russia and Mongolia.
From July 2012 it adopted a realisation strategy and is in the process of selling its assets and returning the proceeds to shareholders.
