ABSTRACT
ChiNext (also known as the Growth Enterprise Market) launched in
late October, 2009 in Shenzhen Stock Exchange of China. It is good news
for local private equity firms as it provides an additional exit strategy for
their investments. Meanwhile, private equity firms started to get more
public attention due to the fact that more and more companies listed in
ChiNext were invested by private equity firms. This thesis is aiming at
analyzing the correlation between private equity investment and ChiNext
IPO first day performance and examining whether value of private equity
involvement is recognized by investors in ChiNext. First, the basic
concepts and internal operation process of private equity fund are
introduced; Second, the potential benefits of private equity investment to
the companies are presented; Third, regression analysis is performed for
companies listed in ChiNext between 2009-10-30 and 2010-10-30, I
found that private equity investment involvement and IPO performance
are not correlated. There are two possibnle explanations, one is that
Chinese Capital market is immature, the other one is private equity
investment is still young in China. Finally, three recommendations are
provided: 1. To improve the investment style, trying to focus on early
stage investment; 2. To strengthen the post-investment management,
helping the company grow; 3. To educate the market about the value of
private equity for the company.
