Overseas fund raising
Private Equity Fund
The source of funds for funds comes from privately and non-publicly raised funds from a small number of specific investors. The threshold for participation in investment is usually quite high. It is not targeted at public advertisingand is subject to very little supervision. The most common form of private equity funds is often Heard of “Hedge Fund/Hedge Fund” (Hedge Fund).
“Private equity” (Private Equity) refers to the shares of unlisted companies; unlike listed companies, unlisted companies cannot raise funds from the public through the open market, but raise money from wealthy funders.
“Private equity funds” are also a type of “private equity funds.” In terms of the form of funds, “private equity funds” contain two important keys: funds that “raise funds in a private manner” and “mainly invest in private equity.”
Classification of “Private Equity Funds”:
“Private equity funds” can be roughly divided into 6 categories according to the nature and stage of the investment projects used by the funds:
- 創投基金（Venture Capital，VC）：
Funds that invest in early-stage startups, such as seed-stage and growth-stage companies. - Growth Capital:
Funds that invest in companies in their growth or expansion phases, which tend to be in the later stages. - 收購基金（Buy-Out Fund）：
以併購目標企業為主。常會透過「杠桿收購 / 融資併購」（Leveraged Buy-Out，LBO）或「管理層收購」（Management Buy-Outs，MBO），取得目標企業股權與控制權，並藉由重組改造、更換管理層等方式提升企業價值後，再次將股權出售。 - Mezzanine Fund:
A fund that invests in the mature stage, pre-IPO stage, etc. - Turnaround/Restructuring Fund:
Invests in companies facing operational difficulties but still possessing long-term market viability, typically in traditional industries. The fund intervenes in the company’s operations by acquiring shares, assisting the company in its recovery before exiting the market. Turnaround funds may not only invest in unlisted companies but may also invest in the stocks of listed companies. - Post-IPO Private Investment / Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE):
PIPE is a private equity fund that invests in shares of listed companies. It does not go through the public market; investors acquire shares from listed companies at below-market prices, thus having the characteristics of a primary market.
Broadly speaking, from the perspective of the form of funds, “private equity funds” generally refer to funds that raise funds in a non-public manner and invest in private equity. The investment scope covers: seed stage, start-up stage, growth stage, expansion stage, mature stage, Pre- IPO, PIPE and other stages
Bond Issuance
Bonds and notes represent loans to an entity (such as government or corporation) in which the entity promises to repay the bondholders or note-holders the total amount borrowed. That repayment in most cases is made on maturity although some loans are repayable in installments. Unlike shareholders, holders of bonds and notes are not owners of an entity but its creditors.
In return, the entity will usually compensate the bondholders or note-holders with interest payments during the life of the bond or note. The interest rate on bonds and notes can be fixed or floating rate.
Bonds are issued by public authorities, credit institutions, companies and supranational institutions in the primary markets.
Islamic Finance
The origins of Islamic Finance date back many centuries and can be traced to the origin of Islam as a religion. It is a form of financing which is based upon the principles of Shariah as prescribed in the Holy Quran.
Islamic finance is materially different from conventional financing as the payment and receipt of interest is strictly prohibited under Islam. Islamic Finance is governed by a set of rules which prescribe how to conduct business and trade within an economy, with the following core principles :
- Prohibiting the collection and payment of interests or fees on loans (‘Riba’ or ‘usuary’) as money itself does not have an intrinsic value and therefore, the concept of making money from money is not allowed under Shariah principles;
- Sharing of Profit, Loss and Risk as Islam encourages partnership and social integration and ensures that no return can be guaranteed without taking risk;
- Speculation is prohibited to ensure that returns are related to effort, rather than chance or pure speculation;
- Prohibition of Uncertainty ensuring that all aspects (such as price, nature of the goods, description, etc.) of a contractual transaction / relationship need to be clear and documented;
- No hoarding of money and wealth to ensure widespread economic development and generation of wealth that benefits society as a whole;
- No unethical or immoral investments prohibiting investments and transactions in certain products or industries such as alcohol, arms, gaming and gambling, pork and usurious financial transactions.
