North Asia has gone through an incredible transformation over the last 15 years led primarily by China’s rapid economic ascension, Japan’s massive domestic market and South Korea companies’ emergence as leaders in the electronics industry.
However, this transformation is only at the beginning.
China’s 12th Five-Year Plan (“FYP”) seeks to fuel future growth by shifting from a capital investment driven economy to that of a private consumption driven one.
China has consistently exceeded its previous FYPs. All the factors are present to drive the 12th FYP to its eventual conclusion. Rapid urbanization, passing of a critical income level, historical compound annual growth of 13.4% in private consumption, a burgeoning middle class, high savings rate and a highly educated population are just a few factors that will eventually create the world’s largest domestic marketplace. Interestingly, China’s newly minted multi-millionaires are already onto this. According to the Hurun Report, of the 1,363 individuals with wealth of over US$150 million, a full 95% made their wealth in sectors reliant on the Chinese consumers. The time is NOW!
Orion C Growth Fund
Orion Partners is launching Orion C Growth Fund to capture this opportunity. “C” represents China, Consumers and C-Partners.
While Orion Partners recognize the superb opportunity developing in the domestic marketplace, they acknowledge that execution will be critical to the fund's success. In addition to the experienced investment team, Orion Partners have assembled an all-star team of seasoned C-level operators (CEO, CFO, COO) who have led and successfully built leaders in their respective industries in Asia.
These C-Partners, previously with multinational corporations, seek to create wealth for themselves this time around. The fund seeks to enable them to achieve this for themselves and the fund's investors.
The right countries, the right sector and the right team; the time is NOW.
