Andrei Akopian, Managing partner of Caderus Capital, a Russia-China investment firm and the official representative of the Moscow Exchange for China, has arranged and acted as moderator for three discussion panels focusing on the Chinese PE and portfolio investments into Russia. The discussion panels were part of investment conferences co-organized by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Moscow Exchange in Shenzhen (13 November), Shanghai (14 November) and Beijing (15 November).
Chinese participants of the panels included: top management of major Chinese institutional investors into Russian assets, Fosun and CEFC; and also representatives of investment banks, organizers of the first Russian Panda bond’s program at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, CICC and CITIC Securities, brokerage firms Guotai Junan Securities and Orient Securities, and also of a major infrastructure construction company, CITIC Construction.
Summing up the discussions, Andrei Akopian said: «I very much appreciate the opportunity provided to Caderus Capital by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Moscow Exchange to lead a very interesting discussion with representatives of the major Chinese financial institutions, which already have accumulated vast experience investing in Russian assets and working with Russian clients and counterparties. It was a special pleasure for me to effectively produce a summary of the year’s investment activity between Russia and China. We have also noticed a substantial pickup in interest in China for events related to Russia: we had three events in three cities in China this year versus one last year, and all three enjoyed impressive turnout.”
