In recent years, the Chinese Government has recognized the key role of venture capital and private equity in growth of businesses and the development of economy. Not only are they introducing policies to promote its expansion in China, they have injected real money to propel the industry. For the first time in China's VC/PE history, in Q3 2009 funds raised by RMB funds have exceeded that of US dollars. During the summit, we will discuss in depth the impact on the competitive landscape of the China VC/PE market, which has traditionally been dominated by international players, and how General Partners (GPs), Limited Partners (LPs), and potential investees position themselves to meet this change.

Transaction Insurance is increasingly being used in Asia Pacific as a strategic tool used by buyers and sellers to help enhance and facilitate transactions. Case studies will be provided to explain how M&A practitioners have used insurance capital to provide clean exits for sellers and by buyers to differentiate their bids or provide enhanced surety to support the seller's obligations. This talk will outline specific transaction insurance solutions including Warranty & Indemnity Insurance, Tax Liability Insurance, Environmental, and Contingent Risk Including Litigation), which can be structured to de-risk transactions.
The talk will also cover the benefits of implementing PE portfolio insurance programmes.
