China’s outstanding performance amid the global financial crisis has brought an increasing number of overseas LPs over to China’s PE market. Yet how does one develop its China-focused investment strategies? Or assess Chinese funds’ investment opportunities? And how can one select the most optimal access routes? These are surely considerations which are critical to any LP’s future operations in China. In addition, how can one partner up with Chinese peers to share in the benefits of China’s booming LP market? And what implications will the ups-and-downs of overseas PE industries have for the further growth of China’s PE market? All these are issues which need to be pondered. Perhaps international LPs’ broader perspectives can offer profound reflections on, as well as in-depth insights into, China’s PE investment industry.

A brief review of China’s LP industrial evolution over the past few years may also be helpful. For instance, should there be an independent roadmap for China’s LP industry? How should one evaluate China’s PE regulatory regimes? Or what can one learn from the development of overseas markets? These are the types of issues which will be thoroughly examined by mainstream Chinese LPs at the summit.

Lastly, the topic of LP and GP’s fiduciary relationship is a timeless one. How should we foster and handle LP/GP relations within the domestic context? How should LPs identify and select outstanding management teams? How should one manage and align any conflicting interests between parallel funds? And how should GPs optimize their fundraising strategies and manage the pace of their fundraising in response to extending fundraising cycles? This gathering will provide the opportunity for LPs and GPs to interact face-to-face and to brainstorm, inevitably forging more innovative ideas for all.

Top domestic and foreign LP and GP professionals will gather at ChinaVenture’s LP Summit to discuss these very issues and to explore potential access routes to China’s PE fundraising market.
