Asian Investment Issues; Professional Turnover
I attended a recent Investment in China and India Summit hosted by Financial Research Associates I will use this forum to share some of the slide/insights that were given at this summit for the benefit of those hoping/thinking/planning on investing in an Asian country – China, India or Japan.
As a newer market, Asia has fewer experienced local private equity professionals – and those with experience are sought after commodities.
A number of funds in Asia are sponsored by financial institutions or wealthy families that take a portion of the fund’s economics – making it easier to provide compensation packages to lure investment professionals away.
There have been several recent examples of high profile departures immediately after a fund has closed or during the fundraising process which have upset investors.
