BEIJING, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The China's LP Summit-2010, scheduled for March 17 in Shanghai, will be hosted by ChinaVenture, a leading investment information consulting institute.

The large-scale, annual event for regulators, experts, gurus, renowned LP's and GP's will attract a lot of capital managers from institutions from both home and abroad, including social security funds managing multi-billion USD/RMB worth of assets, insurance funds, university endowment funds, governmental guidance funds, VC funds, PE funds, investment banks, large enterprises and listed companies. During the event, key topics discussed will include: How to identify potential investment hotspots in China? How to work out global and China asset allocation strategies for foreign LP's? How to foster a mature LP market? How to manage and align relationships with and conflicting interests of GP's?...

Top investors, elite professionals and high-ranking official investment regulators will have the chance to interact face-to-face, and select from panel discussion topics which address and debate the dynamics and trends of China's equity markets.

Huge Growth Potential in China's LP Market

According to the latest fundraising statistics for 2009 from CVSource, ChinaVenture's online database system, RMB funds managed to rise to prominence, beating their foreign counterparts both in terms of the actual number and size of newly established funds. Along with improving domestic capital markets and more favorable local government policies, more and more foreign institutions are expanding the scope of their RMB fund operations in China. With the global major economies still reeling from the worst financial crisis since World War II, financially-strained overseas investors (LP's) remained cautious about making any heavy investments, making it tough for non-RMB funds to raise money. However, there was a very different picture in China. A confluence of favorable signs -- a relatively robust growth momentum, effective anti-recession policies by central and local governments, improving VC investment climate, reopened channels for capital exits, and so on -- contributed to making China an ideal haven for domestic and overseas LP's.

This exclusive event, featuring keynote speeches, panel discussions, face-to-face interactions and Q&A sessions, will focus on timely and relevant topics for domestic and overseas LP's and GP's and provide an intimate opportunity for all investors interested in the Chinese capital markets to network with high-ranking officials from government regulatory agencies.

Grand Gathering for Renown LP's and GP's

The Summit aims to offer a platform of exchange for LP's and GP's both at home and abroad, to discuss the future prospect of the LP industry, deliberate on investment fund strategies, explore potential cooperative opportunities, and brainstorm ways to foster a mature LP market. In order to ensure high-quality communications between LPs and GPs, the gathering will be only open to invitees, which will include about 60 LP's and 40 elites from leading GP's.

A plethora of professional elites both from LP's and GP's will share their fundraising experience and insights, including Kazushige Kobayashi, Chairman & CEO of AIC, Alan Chang, Managing Director of Capricorn, Darren Wong, Managing Director of Adveq, Ching Tan, Managing Director of Siguler Guff, Alice M Chow, Managing Director of Squadron Capital, Jason Zhang, Managing Director of Morgan Creek, Yongjie Chen, Managing Director of Eagle Asia Partners, Steve Cowan, Managing Director of PCG International LLC, Fernando R. Vila, Partner & CFO of Prax Capital, Piau-Voon Wang, Partner of Adams Street, Edmond Ng, Managing Director of Axiom Asia, and etc.
