Asia Private Equity Forum 2010
September 10th 2010 - Four Seasons Hotel, Hong Kong
After a mixed 2009, private equity in Asia is picking up but sourcing the right deal remains a
concern. The public markets continue to provide attractive opportunities for Pipes and take-privates,
while pre-IPO investments are growing in popularity, blurring the lines between venture capital and
private equity.
But with many houses still looking to exit pre-crisis deals, investment managers need an eye on the
capital markets and secondary buyouts. Taiwan is emerging as a strong contender for listings,
compared to traditional venues in Asia, but investor demand and liquidity will dictate public offerings.
And tax decisions in several jurisdictions could spell trouble for private equity exits.
Regulation is an increasingly hot topic. As the US and EU draw up new rules for funds, Asian funds
must understand the impact that this will have on region’s regulatory framework and deal structures.
In China, RMB funds and their associated regulation dominate concerns while, in India, foreign
direct investment – as encouraged by the government – is driving activity, although the Vodafone tax
dispute continues to overshadow deals.
This one-day IFLR forum will bring together industry experts to examine these and other issues
through a series of panel discussions.
