Albourne Partners Private Equity, a division of Albourne Partners Limited, the world’s dominant hedge fund advisory company for institutional investors and high net worth families, has established a team in Hong Kong.
With the early addition and staffing of the Hong Kong office, Albourne Partners Private Equity now has teams in the key private equity financial centres including, London, San Francisco and Hong Kong, closely aligned with Albourne’s office network around the globe.
“In advising global clients, it is critical to have local people with appropriate contacts and language skills and hence we have set up our Asian office right at the start of our development programme. The private equity market has become an increasingly important component of, and makes a key contribution to, the efficiency of the capital markets. As such, after some inevitable volatility the private equity community will continue to expand world-wide at a significant pace over the next few years, while clouds are cast elsewhere in the markets by the credit crunch,” says David Hutchings, head of Private Equity, Albourne Partners.
