China-pivot funds rise as IPOs restart

CHINA-FOCUSED private equity and venture capital funds expanded more than eightfold in March from a year ago as industry sentiment recovered with the resumption of initial public offerings, according to a private report.

A total of 29 China-focused PE/VC funds raised US$3.96 billion in March, a surge of 845 percent from a year earlier, the Zero2IPO Research Center said in a report yesterday. The amount of money raised soared 137 percent from February’s figure.

“China’s PE/VC industry is showing signs of recovery as the restart of IPOs in January provided stimulus,” Ma Li, analyst with the Zero2IPO, said in the report.

Of the 29 funds, 23 were yuan-denominated raising a combined US$2.59 billion, or 65.5 percent of the total. The six foreign currency funds raised US$1.37 billion.
