Private Equity and Hedge Fund Investment

Hong Kong is widely recognised as the leading fund management centre in Asia with the largest concentration of fund managers. Our private equity investment practice focuses on providing legal and regulatory services relating to private equity and venture capital funds for private and institutional investors.

We have wide experience in assisting private equity groups by pulling together our expertise on investment funds, licensing, corporate compliance, mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance. Working closely with offshore legal advisers and fund managers, we have been involved in the establishment of numerous private equity investment funds in various offshore jurisdictions.

We also advise unique and flexible hedge funds which often cover a broader spectrum of strategies in relation to the usage of leverage and derivatives. In addition to advising on fund formation and management, we advise on other related aspects of including risk controls, achieving transparency of the management company’s operation through appropriate offering document disclosure, due diligence and investor protection.

Against a background of fast changing financial markets, we keep informed of the most recent international regulatory and market developments relevant to hedge fund investment. We often work closely with highly professional hedge fund investment managers as well as sophisticated hedge fund investment management teams in response to market developments. We also have close relationships with a number of prime brokers and hedge fund investment administrators.
