Private Equity
We act as principals and/or partners in select China middle market private equity opportunities on an "off-market", negotiated basis.

Many prospective deals may fit the criteria of domestc and international P.E. firms, high-net worth individuals and family offices.

As consultants, we assist in facilitating and managing the process of cross-border private equity transactions and investments. We work with your lawyers, accountants, auditors and other service providers as a trusted member of your team. We assist in providing deep due diligence, often non-public information, assembled to reduce not only financial risk, but more importantly, reputational and FCPA risks.
Another important service is on-going post-transaction investment monitoring to provide foreign investors with greater visibility and insights that may assist in pre-empting a failed deal, fraud, corruption or other in-country crisis situation. Please call Seth Freeman in San Francisco for further information.

Due Diligence & Post
Closing Monitoring
Engaging EM Capital Management (Hong Kong) Limited to lead or partner with your DD team reduces the risks of poor and ineffective due diligence. Effective due diligence related to investing in China is without question the most challenging piece of the investing process. Inadequate pre-investment due diligence is the primary reason that many China cross-border investments fail. Too often, Western investors are simply reticent, worried about offending their local partner to perform the level of due diligence investigation necessary to prevent a failed deal and/or fraud.
China due diligence must go much deeper than financial and IP data. Understanding the background and history of counter-parties, affiliates and influencers is crucial. Post-closing monitoring provides early detection of business problems or suspected fraud, and the opportunity to react prior to the situation becoming an exigency.
The EM Capital team understands the opaque and complex China information environment and has the local market resources to provide our partners and clients with deep, discreet, factual and insightful pre and post investment due diligence and on-going monitoring. Contact us today to discuss your due diligence requirements.
