Episode 102: “Scale, Sophistication and Global Relevance” – Asia’s Private Equity Market
23 AUG 2018 - “The scale of deals we’re seeing [in Asia] is something we’ve never seen before,” says Alison Mass of the Goldman Sachs Investment Banking Division. While Mass has been traveling to Asia for more than twenty years to meet with private equity clients, her most recent business trip with colleague Brian DeCenzo felt different in terms of the industry’s maturation and international sophistication. In this episode, Mass and DeCenzo explain why global private equity firms are raising multi-billion dollar funds in Asia, the impact of increased Chinese buyers in global auctions, how Asian companies are embracing innovation and more.
