Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, University of Würzburg, language: English, abstract: 2014 has been a year for the record books concerning private equity. Global investment exits through initial public offerings accumulated two trillion US dollar and about 500 billion US dollar have been collected in private equity funds for future investments. These impressive numbers show how important private equity has become in the international financial sector and China has evolved to one of the biggest private equity markets in the world. This raises the question of who is in power in the Chinese market? Giants like Goldman Sachs, Blackstone or Carlyle dominate the international market.

When China first heard of private equity in the early-1990s, it was already one of the biggest investment markets in the West, mainly in America. Hence, American companies had nearly no competitors in China and made fortunes in this recently opened market. Nevertheless, domestic firms developed quickly and challenged foreign companies to a duel. This paper will be divided into two parts, firstly it will show the development of Chinese and foreign private equity companies and their shares on the Chinese market. The second part then will try to give an impression on possible reasons for the mentioned development. There won’t be any further explanations about private equity given in this paper, only if they are needed for deeper understanding of the context. However specific knowledge about private equity will not be needed since it won’t discuss specific features of it in detail. The aim of this paper is to answer the questions about how the market developed and the possible reasons for this.

Private equity is an important source of funds for start-ups, private middle market firms, firms in financial distress and public or private firms seeking buyouts. This book investigates the industry of private equity in China by documenting its development and identifying challenges underlying the industry. In particular, the book compares and contrasts the institutional factors in China to understand the unique social and economic drivers of private equity in China and the value creation. The book highlights a key challenge of private equity which is mainly due to the dominant government role in China, the lack of business talents and immaturity of financial institutions and markets.
