New Blog Focusing on China’s Private Equity Market

Blog, called China Equity Capital, launches with commentary on decoupling of US and Chinese IPO Markets
Hong Kong, and Los Angeles, July 7, 2008: A new blog focusing exclusively on China’s burgeoning private equity market has been launched by China First Capital, Ltd., a merchant bank based in China and the US. The blog’s author is Peter Fuhrman, a founder and partner of China First Capital. He is a former foreign correspondent and editor for Forbes Magazine. He was ranked as one of the leading journalists in the US, and subsequently worked as a venture capitalist in the US and Europe for over 10 years.
The blog is titled “China Equity Capital”, and the web address is: http://chinaequitycapital.blogspot.com/
It’s a thoughtful and authoritative voice on the trends in Private Equity and Venture Capital investment in China, and will also focus on Chinese companies that will seek to use equity capital on their path to IPO and global leadership. The private equity market in China, Mr. Fuhrman believes, will be among the most active in the world over the coming five years, and offer some of the highest rates of return for private equity and venture firms.
The blog’s first posting is titled “IPO Exit Window -- as it slams shut for US companies, it opens ever wider for Chinese ones” and analyzes the recent decoupling of the IPO markets in the US and China.
