Silkroad Capital is a leading private equity fund management firm based in Hong Kong.  Silkroad Capital seeks to invest in and profit from privately held companies in countries along the legendary Silkroad primarily in China and Central Asia.  We also leverage the synergies and strengths from these countries such as capital and product demand from the Middle East, natural resources from Central Asia and lastly products and market demand from China to generate superior returns for our investors.  The directors and management team of the firm consists of business veterans from these countries.  We aim not only to invest but also assist in enhancing the companies’ business development in the region and also the companies’ operational efficiencies.  In addition we have built up an extensive network of partnerships with businesses in the region.  Our partners include the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (“ICBC”), the largest financier for industrial companies in China; China Enterprise Investment Association (“CEIA”) which is the umbrella organization for state owned enterprises in China, Lancaster Group of Kazakhstan and several prominent business leaders in the Middle East. Silkroad focuses on the companies in the high growth industry sectors of construction materials, IT media and telecommunications, automotive components, cleantech and consumer products and services.  Our first fund focuses on the sectors of the construction industry including construction materials, construction and safety equipment and related technology and services and will invest primarily in China.  Our investors are made up of the leading construction services companies in the Middle East.  We are partnering with our investors to create a “loopback” effect whereby we will invest in Chinese companies in the construction industry and bring back the products, services and know-how to the Middle East.  We aim to help create a full circle of benefits and services similar to the ancient Silkroad which has brought trade, knowledge and culture to both regions. Silkroad has a unique and cohesive team that has invested and exited from multiple companies in the targeted sectors with extensive experience and understanding of the Middle East and China.  We aim to achieve top quartile returns and provide the “loopback” services for our investors and partners.
