We intend to focus on the travel and transportation industries where our management has extensive investment experience. Despite the significant disruption of COVID-19, we believe that consumer sentiment and business indicators for travel and transportation will return to historical levels and resume growth once the pandemic has stabilized itself enough such that individuals can resume historical activities and behaviors.
