The 25 Most Sought-After Managers The 25 Most Sought-After Managers Asia-Pacific Private Equity - Q3 2017 First in the Secondary Market. Introduction The ‘Most Sought-After Manager Rankings’ are published by Setter on a quarterly and semi-annual basis to capture the ebb and flow of secondary demand across various fund strategies and geographies. The rankings are largely based on the Setter Liquidity Rating, which assigns funds a rating of Excellent, Very Good, Good or Unrated depending on the number of secondary buyers that want to buy and/or have recently priced a given fund. Please see Definitions at the end of this report for more details. The number of interested buyers for a given fund are determined by Setter’s team of professionals who passionately track the ever changing shortlists and demand of over 1300 secondary buyers both directly and via SecondaryLink.com, where buyers can enter their shortlists and connect with agents and access deals through the Deal Section. From a primary perspective, the ‘Most Sought-After Manager Rankings’ provide a unique perspective as strong secondary market demand suggests a fund manager is popular among LPs and low secondary market demand may signal diminishing market sentiment and additional future liquidity risk.

    TAKEOVERS + SCHEMES REVIEW 2018 GTLAW.COM.AU 1 THE GILBERT + TOBIN 2018 TAKEOVERS AND SCHEMES REVIEW 2017 demonstrated a distinct uptick in activity for Australian public company mergers and acquisitions. Some key themes were: + The number of transactions announced increased by 37% over 2016 and aggregate transaction values were among the highest in recent years. + The energy & resources sector staged a recovery in M&A activity, perhaps signalling an end to the downwards trend observed over the last six years. The real estate sector made the greatest contribution to overall transaction value, followed closely by utilities/infrastructure. + Despite perceived foreign investment headwinds, foreign interest in Australian assets remained strong, with Asian, North American and French acquirers featuring prominently. Four of the five largest transactions in 2017 (including two valued at over $5 billion) involved a foreign bidder. + There was a material decline in success rates, except for high value deals greater than $500 million. Cash transactions continued to be more successful than transactions offering scrip. Average premiums paid fell slightly. + Regulators continue to closely scrutinise public M&A transactions, with the attendant lengthening of deal timetables. This Review examines 2017’s public company transactions valued over $50 million and provides our perspective on the trends for Australian M&A in 2017 and what that might mean for 2018. We trust you will find this Review to be an interesting read and a useful resource for 2018. 2

  • China Life KGI Bank KGI Securities CDIB Capital Group
    China Life KGI Bank KGI Securities CDIB Capital Group Content Letter to Shareholders 4 About Us 6 Professional Services 20 Operating Performance 62 Office Locations 72 Letter to Shareholders In 2019, even if U.S. economy performed relatively well among the world’s major economies, the Fed cut interest rates to boost liquidity into the market in view of U.S.-China trade uncertainty. The eurozone’s economic performance has been relatively lackluster despite a quantitative easing policy adopted by the European Central Bank. China was under pressure to transform its industrial and economic structures in addition to facing the continued impact of trade wars. Driven by the repatriation of China-based Taiwanese companies and the trade diversion, Taiwan’s economy grew 2.71% in 2019, on a par with the 2.75% in 2018, with the capital market performing robustly. While the turnover at the Taiwan Stock Exchange totaled NT$29.06tn in 2019, down 9.6% YoY, averaging around NT$120.07bn per day, down 7.8% YoY, the FINI-dominated Taiex closed the year at 11,997 points, up 23.3% from 9,727 points at the end of 2018. China Development Financial Holdings Corporation (CDF) benefited from the solid performance of global financial markets and business growth so that the consolidated net income was NT$19.65bn in 2019 (including NT$6.86bn from non-controlling equity), for EPS of NT$0.88, with consolidated ROE of 7.56%. Compared with consolidated net income of NT$12.82bn in 2018 (including NT$4.96bn from non-controlling equity), YoY growth was around 53% in 2019.
