The LP view on China – taking the long-term view?
Given the recent economic uncertainties across the globe, it comes as no surprise that LP sentiments towards investing into Chinese private equity and venture capital funds have been negatively impacted. While some institutional investors continue to do re-ups into existing managers to take advantage of the lower valuations, most are hesitant to invest in new managers and are taking a “wait and see” approach to allocating capital in the region. Our panel of investors will take stock of the current situation and discuss their strategies for the region.
- How do global LPs view the Chinese private equity and venture capital market in the long term, and will their investment strategies change? What strategies are they looking for?
- What changes are LPs expecting more from their GPs given the current climate?
- Will local RMB investors fill the void left by the usual USD investors?
- What is the role of secondaries?
