Hillhouse Investment Management Ltd. Expands into Asia with New Investment Team

Hillhouse Investment Management Ltd., one of the largest private equity firms in Asia, is set to create an investment team dedicated to the region. This move comes as global investment giants face a risky balancing act, creating separate Asian operations to clearly delineate their China exposure from other markets. Key insights suggest that ArriVent BioPharma's stock price might be vulnerable given the large stake in the stock by institutions.

An investment arm of Chinese private equity firm Hillhouse Capital is currently under investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) for alleged misconduct. Elham Credit Partners, the private credit arm of Hillhouse Investment, is also evaluating several deals in India as part of their investment strategy.

Hillhouse Investment, which was originally backed by Yale University's endowment, is gearing up to pitch a new Asia-focused private investment opportunity. However, billionaire Zhang Lei's Hillhouse Investment saw its hedge fund assets drop by a third last year to $27.5 billion, according to U.S. regulatory filings.

In an effort to attract more investors in China, Hillhouse Capital is seeking backing for a new renminbi fund. This comes at a time when the industry is experiencing a decline in dollar investments. HHLR Management, a part of Hillhouse's public investment arm, recently raised its stake in solar energy firm LONGi Green.
