The Asian Private Equity industry has come of age, growing out of infancy into adolescence. It has grown strongly over the past decade, despite some arduous and exacting times along the way. The pool of funds which have been invested into a range of companies is now being crystallised into distinct segments of Private Equity, Buyout, Venture Capital and now, together with Mezzanine and Hedge Funds the scope has extended further into areas such as Real Estate and Infrastructure. The market has become much more interesting with a range of diversed and clearer investment opportunities. As an asset class it has moved centre stage.

During the conference, we shall look at the drivers of these changes, the new opportunities opening up, as well as some of the challenges the industry faces; we live today with volatile markets. It will also be of interest to the audience to hear about recent innovations, issues and opportunities for recent deals and exits.

The conference is organized by the leading practitioners in the field themselves. It provides practitioners, corporations and professionals, entrepreneurs and expanding businesses an excellent opportunity to learn first hand from those who are intimately involved in the deals and the market.
