China Forum 2013 Thursday 12 September

The inaugural China Forum, AsiaHedge’s China focused hedge fund conference, will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Shanghai on 12 September 2013.

The China Forum could not come at a more opportune time. While brand-new regulation is sculpting the ecosystem for a true-blue hedge fund industry in China, domestic/global hedge fund managers and service providers are blueprinting strategies to build long-term businesses in the country.

The Forum will focus on the evolution of China sunshine/private funds into world-class hedge funds as they register with the Asset Management Association of China, the newly established self-regulatory organisation for funds. It will also hold discussions on the pace and advantages of domestic funds in China establishing overseas offices and launching offshore vehicles to access international capital.

While policy makers will throw light on the direction of the current and future legislation for hedge funds in China (including the new Securities Investment Fund Law, which came into effect 1 June), hedge fund managers and investors will debate the investment and business-building opportunities in this high-potential market.

Finally, the Forum will touch upon the prospects for the QDLP (Qualified Domestic Limited Partner) programme, which for the first time will allow international managers to access domestic capital in China.

If you would like to register, please complete the booking form in this brochure. We look forward to seeing you in Shanghai.
