COMING EVENT
2010 saw another year of strong growth by RMB funds. RMB funds accounted for 65% of the number of deals and 55% of total investment amount in the China Private Equity market. The notable development is the establishment of RMB funds by foreign fund managers, while domestic fund managers are raising foreign currency funds. Going forward, how will these two forces interact and affect the ecosystem and the competitive landscape? What is the impact on fund raising, investments, portfolio monitoring, and exits?

2010年是人民币基金再度强劲增长的一年。在去年的中国私募投资市场中,人民币基金相关的项目占全年项目总数的65%以及全年投资总额的55%。尽管如此,在外资基金经理筹集人民币基金的同时,本土基金经理亦在筹集外币基金,这两股新势力将会对新平衡和人民币竞争版图产生怎样的交互影响? 对基金筹集,项目投资,投资监控和项目退出又有哪些影响?
