Investment Market Trends: Sectors
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.
Growth Capital
Dominant type of fund in Asia by number, especially in country focused funds
Focused on backing firms that are already established but are looking for capital to support
strong growth
Buyouts
True control buyouts are a more recent phenomenon in Asia
Most funds focused on buyouts are larger Pan-Asian funds or are targeting Japan or Australia
Most Pan-Asian funds are subsidiaries or sister funds of established US or European private equity firms
Venture Capital
Very few locally based early stage only funds, as the market is more focused on later stage deals
A number of US Based Venture Capital firms are founding Asian joint ventures or subsidiaries
