Chinese investors turning to private equity

The EB-5 program has created uncertainties for EB-5 investors as Congress continues debating new legislation in both the House and Senate. Investors are waiting nearly two years for EB-5 projects to be approved and the backlog for I-526 petitions keep increasing. The minimum costs for EB-5 investment looks to be increasing to $800,000 or over $1,000,000. Higher investment costs and slow processing times has pushed the next wave of Chinese investors to look into private equity industry. Chinese direct investment is beginning to heat up as they turn to smaller projects under $5 million such as restaurants, schools, apartments and assisted living facilities. To learn more about private equity investment from China, join us in LA at China Private Equity Forum.

The 2nd Real Estate Globalization and Overseas Investment Summit opens registration

In 2014, the 1st Real Estate Globalization and Overseas Investment Summit was held in the Great Hall of People in Beijing. Over five hundred real estate experts from China and abroad, the biggest names from the financial sector, and leading scholars gathered together to discuss and take the pulse of the globalization of Chinese real estate industry. The People's Daily Network provided live coverage, and major media responded enthusiastically. The first Summit helped fuel a growing consensus around the need for China to establish the internationalizations of Enterprises, Assets, Families, Education and Human Resources. 

On November 14 and 15, 2015, the 2nd Real Estate Globalization and Overseas Investment Summit will be convened in Beijing. Political leaders, experts at home and abroad, industrial and financial heavyweight leaders will gather. They will share their experience and their success stories in overseas real estate investment; compare and contrast the real estate industry at home and abroad to point a way for a new wave of overseas property investment in the world's globalizing economy; discuss how to build overseas investment and financing platforms to facilitate the integration of the real estate and financial sectors; and help both sectors accelerate the pace of internationalization. 


These sessions will provide a vision of a new, global blueprint for real estate development and finance. This summit brings together over 100 firms from China, the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, covering the fields of real estate, investment funds, bonds, international education and other types of investment vehicles. The Summit will also showcase $3 billion USD worth of highly-leveraged, high-return U.S. real estate investment projects featuring a novel low-cost debt-financing strategy. In addition some $1 billion USD of investment opportunities in a high-return real estate mezzanine loan fund will be unveiled. The summit will be an ideal platform for enterprises interested in overseas investments and acquisitions; for high net-worth individuals (HNWIs) looking to discover new business opportunities; and for those exploring asset allocation and wealth globalization strategies.
