BEIJING, July 20 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- ChinaVenture, the leading information research and consulting institute focusing on China's VC/PE investment market, today announced the establishment of its advisory board and unveiled its global development plan. With its rising popularity and prestige in the VC/PE industry, it has been necessary for ChinaVenture to extend its existing base of clientele to the global investment market. For a long time, ChinaVenture has built cooperative relationships with investment communities in traditional financial centers such as the United States, Europe and Japan, laying a solid foundation for its global development initiatives. With China rising to be a powerhouse of the world economy, more and more seasoned overseas investors are including China investments into their core strategies. In response to these developments, ChinaVenture timely put forward its global development plan to help its overseas clients to obtain full insight into the Chinese investment market and to offer them a myriad of top-notch consulting and research services.
In order to effectively implement its global development plan, ChinaVenture invited world-class experts to sit on its Advisory Committee, including Mr. Safa Rashtchy, renowned Wall Street investment analyst and a former Managing Director at Piper Jaffray, Mr. Li Zibin, former Deputy Party Secretary & Mayor of Shenzhen and Deputy Director of China's National Development and Reform Commission, and Mr. He Xiaofeng, Vice President of Beijing Private Equity Association. They will offer extensive and valuable assistance and guidance in the implementation of ChinaVenture's global development strategies.
Mr. Rashtchy, the first member to join the Committee, was a Managing Director and Senior Equity Analyst at Piper Jaffray. He has focused his research on online advertising, Internet search, E-business and related Internet services, and is widely recognized as an authority in the field of online search. Mr. Rashtchy has strong influence on the Chinese internet-related companies listed on NASDAQ. He was on the List of Top Analysts in Home Run Hitters of 2001 released by the Institutional Investors Magazine, and the List of Best Wall Street Analysts of 2002 released by the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Rashtchy said: "I have been interested in and optimistic about China, and I have cooperated well with ChinaVenture since its inception. It is my pleasure to apply my experience learned in the United States to the Chinese market, and to join hands with ChinaVenture to implement its global development strategies." Mr. Rashtchy's proven experience in capital markets and international insight will contribute to the rising influence of ChinaVenture.
Apart from the robust support overseas, ChinaVenture is also benefitting from increasing assistance at home. For one, Mr. Li Zibin, former Shenzhen Mayor and Deputy Director at NDRC and currently President of the China Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, has readily agreed to join the Advisory Committee upon invitation. Mr. Li Zibin said: "The rapid development of SMEs in China has been closely related to the support from the PE investment community. As the bellwether in the Chinese PE research field, ChinaVenture has attracted and served a large number of overseas and domestic VC/PE investment institutions as well as related government agencies. I am glad to be on board and to extend my assistance."
Mr. He Xiaofeng, another renowned expert in the Chinese investment industry and Director of the Finance Department of Economics Institution of Peking University, also was invited to join ChinaVenture's Advisory Committee. Widely acclaimed as one of China's most prestigious academics in the investment industry, Mr. He Xiaofeng will give his valuable guidance to the continuing improvement of ChinaVenture's research system, and greatly contribute to expanding ChinaVenture's influence among universities and other institutions.
Mr. Jay Chen, ChinaVenture's founder, who is instrumental in the formation of the Advisory Committee, said: "Our advisors have varied backgrounds and rich experiences.
