The 23rd Annual AVCJ Forum: Asia’s Private Equity Week 2011

Now in its 24th year, AVCJ’s Investment Summit is where the global private equity community meets to share war-stories, build new friendships and refresh old ones, and plan the future of the industry in light of recent developments.

In Q1 2011 equities capital markets have been bouncy worldwide: Cash is being withdrawn periodically and in volume from Asian equities to take advantage of price-adjusted assets in the US and Europe: A result of successive bouts of – if not optimism – at least muted pessimism, on the outlook for recovery. With each fresh round of bad news though, much of the capital comes flooding back again, resulting in something of a see-saw effect.

It is in times of uncertainty like these when private equity shows its true mettle, and many global LPs are already ploughing substantial amounts of capital into Asia-focused funds in anticipation of vintage years to come. This year’s event will uncover, amongst other things, how PE fund managers are performing against these expectations.
