This panel mainly focused on RMB funds which had already attracted much attention from foreign investors. It interpreted the regulatory landscape of RMB funds, its possible models and the best cooperation models for LPs and GPs as well as other hot issues.
As the moderator, Mr. Edward Tian, led the discussions from three perspectives: one was to elaborate on the views of RMB funds from the legal and media perspectives; the other was to let the government and regulatory agencies hear the voice from the foreign PE concerning their entry into RMB funds; another was whether RMB funds will develop with Chinese characteristics.
The panelists indicated: the domestic fundraising takes longer time with comparison of overseas fundraising, the relationship between local government-guided funds and industrial investment funds needs more coordination, and foreign LP's entry is not smooth as well. The fund managers did not reach their ideal fund management status, which includes domestic fundraising, domestic investment and domestic exit. They also looked hoped that the insurance industry could start investments, and this can complete the domestic PE/VC system. They suggested that the government could allow the foreign currency funds with the restricted amount to invest in various domestic industries on a trial base in the way as RMB funds operates or with the supervision of National Development and Reform Commission, the government would allow the foreign investors to invest in RMB funds with a limited amount.

This panel focused on the current situation and it discussed how to establish a healthy local LP circle.
The panelists suggested that the financial product innovation would open a door for foreign LP's entry into RMB funds; in the form of joint venture and on the condition of the guaranty of national industry safety, the foreign investors' participation in RMB funds would be allowed. Additionally, the first national government-guided fund-Suzhou Ventures Group also shared its successful experience of achieving a true market-oriented operation.

This panel targeted domestic exit issues. The panelists, such as Mr. Andrew Yan, Managing Partner, SAIF Partners, and Mr. Youxin Chen, Director and General Manager, China Capital Management Company and etc., shared their unique interpretations in terms of the possible changes in the domestic exit environment after the IPO re-start at A shares, and whether GEM would turn into ChiNext, and the M&A's role in the domestic exit environment.
The panelists also expressed their concerns for the international capital: whether the high exit price would affect the pre-investment price; how to decide on the domestic IPO time and how to protect the investors' rights. The opening of GEM was very inspiring and it possibly offered another channel for joint ventures' IPO. And they were also concerned about how long the current high valuation would exist. However, some of the panelists thought that the domestic market expected so much of the start-ups that the real market price would be more highly than the current price.

This panel focused on how to choose a suitable entry field in China's complex and volatile investment environment.
The panelists' views were very valuable to the investors: consumer goods industry was a pretty good investment choice considering China's current situation. Factors such as good management team, the potential of the product range and its penetration depth were very important; the investment in TMT was more and more in the pursuit of business models, which was not just selling advertising, and to which the value-added services and community-based E-business model were very important revenue streams. With the government –guided factor, the investment in wind and sola industry might be excessive with a flattened investment price.

The panelists had an open talk about their experiences and shared cases studies, regarding how the VC/PE helped the SMEs get out of the operational difficulties and realize the rapid growth.
According to the panelists, VC/PE mainly supported the enterprises in the capital market and financial affairs. For the early deals, the enterprises needed more help, including the corporate governance structure, leadership growth and corporate vision and strategy's making; for the late-stage deals, the support was mainly about providing a good finance agency. In the end, panelists elaborated on their views about the equity ratio. They also proposed to make use of government resources and their own resources to lead enterprise operations.
With the end of the fifth panel, Mr. Yichen ZHANG, Chairman of China Venture Capital Association & Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Capital Holdings Limited, announced the successful conclusion of this summit, and he hoped everyone would continue to support CVCA in the future.
CVCA 2009 Annual General Meeting was held successfully. Ms. Frances Huang, President of CVCA, reported to members on the annual work and financial status. She also indicated that CVCA will continue to be dedicated to the improvement of VC/PE industry. And all of the governors resoundingly won re-election at the Annual General Election.
