 Capital Dynamics, a Zug, Switzerland-headquartered asset management firm exclusively focused on private equity, is about to open a new office in Hong Kong. Markus Ableitinger, a director of Capital Dynamics, will head up the office and will be responsible for growing the Hong Kong-based team.
To date Capital Dynamics has committed about $1bn to Asia-based private equity investment opportunities.
Thomas Kubr, CEO of Capital Dynamics, said, 'The Asian private equity market offers significant potential for investors. It is less competitive or mature than both the US and European markets. The combined presence in Asia of both experienced local managers and private equity firms we already invest with in the US and Europe, warrants us having a research capability there so as to ensure that our clients continue to be offered compelling investment opportunities.'
Ableitinger added, 'Asia has one of the world's most favourable economic environments and represents an ideal situation for private equity investing both for buy-outs and venture/growth capital opportunities. We chose Hong Kong as our base in Asia as it is acknowledged to have the largest concentration of private equity managers in comparison to other Asian cities.'
Capital Dynamics, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, also has offices in New York, San Francisco, London and Birmingham, UK.
Capital Dynamics oversees approximately $20bn of committed client capital managed by 350 general partners.
