In the last few years, we have seen a boom in the domestic private equity/venture capital industry in China, followed by a sharp decline in 2012, in terms of the amount of funds raised, investments and divestments. Is the downturn cyclical, or are we seeing structural changes in the industry? How do PE/VC firms position themselves amid the changes?
Closer to Hong Kong, Qianhai is being developed as an experimental zone to spearhead financial reform, particularly in cross-border capital flows. A set of provisional measures on the establishment of private equity investment enterprises involving foreign capital has been promulgated. How do practitioners in Hong Kong take advantage of the Qianhai opportunity?
经历了数年飞跃发展后，中国本土创业及私募投资行业在2012年在募集资金，投资及上市退出方面出现明显下滑。这情况只是周期性下行，还是显示整个行业已出现了不容忽视的结构性转变？创业及私募投资公司应如何找准定位，适应这些变化？
紧邻香港，深圳前海地区已被指定为中国金融改革，特别是跨境资本流动方面的先行试验田。一套关于开展外商投资股权投资企业试点工作的暂行办法已经出台。香港业界该如何把握此次前海良机，实现互利共赢？

Cyberspace is the lifeblood of today’s commerce and modern societies. It is made possible by interdependent networks of information technology and critical infrastructure such as the Internet, telecommunications networks, and computer systems. The globalization and ubiquitous nature of cyberspace creates vulnerabilities, from individuals to national security concerns, as private and public sectors are equally dependent on such networks to operate.
Can businesses deploy cutting-edge technologies and processes to defend against, cope with, and recover from cyber attacks? What are the lessons from the most recent attacks against target-rich businesses such as financial institutions and oil companies?
Please join Lt. General Kenneth Minihan for a lively discussion on the opportunities and challenges of Security in the Cyber Age.

In June 2012 incoming Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, C Y Leung, proposed the creation of a Financial Services Development Council (FSDC). The Council was confirmed by the city’s financial secretary John Tsang in the 2013-14 Budget in late February and was identified as a “high-level, cross-sector advisory body, to offer views and suggestions to the Government on developing and promoting our financial services industry as well as reinforcing our position as an international financial centre”.
Chaired by HSBC’s non-executive deputy chairman Laura Cha, the FSDC has 21 members including Qin Xiao, former President of China International Trust and Investment Corporation, and Levin Zhu, son of former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji and CEO of China International Capital Corporation.
In an announcement on 5 April, a further 34 non-official members and two ex-official members were appointed for a two-year term to serve five committees established under the FSDC: financial development research; Mainland opportunities; new business; market development; and human capital.
The HKVCA is pleased to report that our organisation is well-represented on these committees. Vice Chairman John Levack will sit on the new business committee with HKVCA Technical Committee member Florence Yip of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Also sitting on the new business committee are Mark McCombe, Asia Pacific Chairman of BlackRock Inc, and Christophe Lee, CFO of OrbusNeich and former chairman of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA Hong Kong).
Clifford Chance partner Mark Shipman, also a member of the HKVCA's Technical Committee, has been appointed to the FSDC’s financial development research committee.
Any members who are interested in showcasing their funds or services to participants at the First Global Investor Forum on Climate Change at the Four Seasons Hotel, Hong Kong on 13-14th June should get in touch with Juliette Brederode who will liaise with ASRIA and the organisers. Attendees at the Forum will include global investors, together with leading asset owners and institutional investors from across Asia including pension and sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, emerging market banks, family offices and foundations.
