AB  - With much of Europe and the U.S.mired in the current debt crisis, money managers have increased the allocation of funds for investment in Asia. This article highlights the reasons for setting up a Singapore-domiciled private equity fund and examines how this Singapore private equity fund can thereafter embark on investment into China. The author details the major pros and cons of doing business in Singapore from an on-the-ground perspective and argues that Singapore is well placed to serve as the springboard and regional headquarters for foreign funds to invest into China.TOPICS: Private equity, emerging, legal/regulatory/public policy
