  • European private equity firm Ardian eyes fresh growth at new office in Hong Kong’s Two IFC

    European private equity firm Ardian eyes fresh growth at new office in Hong Kong’s Two IFC

    Paris-based private equity (PE) firm Ardian has opened a 4,000 sq ft office in Hong Kong’s main business district, with an eye on growing its US$3 billion investment out of the company’s total US$200 billion in assets under management (AUM).
    The new office at the Two International Finance Centre in Central marked the company’s fifth location in Asia and would initially have eight permanent staff, according to Jason Yao, the group’s head of Greater China.

    “The reason we have an office here is to be close to our investors,” Yao said in an interview with the Post on Thursday. “We have very important insurance companies that have already committed to our various products. To be close to clients is one thing we want to develop in Hong Kong.”

    “Private wealth is also a big topic in our industry as a source of capital. Investment-wise it is very important for the secondary business,” Yao added. “So we have a lot of sellers here and we have most of the intermediaries, the investment bank side, also here. It’s also very critical for us to further expand our secondary business in the region.”

    Ardian, one of the largest European-headquartered PE firms, is considered one of the leading investors in the secondary private market, which involves the buying and selling of existing investments from other investors.

    It has about 50 long-standing clients in the Greater China region. Its investors include insurance firms, sovereign wealth funds, private wealth investors and endowments.

    Japan Awaits Two-Year Bond Auction After BOJ’s Cautious Tone

    Japan’s bond market heads into a sale of policy-sensitive two-year notes Friday on a somewhat stronger footing on speculation the Bank of Japan isn’t rushing into the next rate increase.

    The auction comes 24 hours after the BOJ’s first policy decision Thursday under a new government led by Sanae Takaichi, who’s seen as an advocate of relatively low rates. Governor Kazuo Ueda gave few hints about the next rate hike after the BOJ stood pat on policy, saying that the central bank isn’t falling behind the curve in the fight against inflation.
