Kinsella Group Executives Address Investment Conferences in Tianjin, China and Chicago, Illinois News Release - For Immediate Release
[Chicago, Illinois - June 11, 2007] Last week, at conferences in China and the United States, Kinsella Group executives shared their insights into Asian business and investment markets with senior business leaders and government officials from across the globe. On June 6, 2007, Bernard M. Filler, Managing Director of Kinsella Group's Asia Practice, moderated a panel at the first China International Private Equity Forum held at the Tianjin Binhai International Convention Center in Tianjin, China. The panel topic was "How Foreign Shareholders Increase Value for Small to Medium-Sized Chinese Enterprises." The panelists, including Gene Chou of Nautilus Asia Pacific Management and John Thomson of the Chicago Economic Development Center, focused on private equity funding of Chinese companies in joint acquisitions of U.S. businesses. Brian Dong of Kinsella Group joined Mr. Filler at the conference, which hosted more than 2,000 attendees from around the world, including nearly 70 of the world's leading private equity funds from the United States, Europe and Japan. The conference was organized by the Tianjin Municipal People's Government, the All-China Federation of Industry & Commerce and the Association for Corporate Growth, with the goal of further developing the region's capital markets and to help privately owned business raise additional capital. Mr. Filler and Mr. Dong will remain in China for another 10 days, where they are conducting a number of meetings with network partners and current and prospective clients. The same day - on the other side of the Pacific - Kinsella Group Founder and President, Robert J. Kinsella, served as a panelist at the 2007 Asian Private Equity & Venture Forum. Held at the Conrad Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, the theme for this year's forum was "Asian Private Equity Update: Opportunities for Market Access, Partnering and Investments." Mr. Kinsella and his co-panelists spoke on "The Asia-U.S. Acquisition Trail: A Two-Way Street." In particular, the panelists focused on what Asian companies look for in overseas acquisitions, and how U.S. companies can tap Asian markets. Specific topics included acquisitions for market access, products that do (and don't) translate well from one country to the other, building customer relationships in Asia, and the effects of Asia-based parent companies on U.S. businesses. Mr. Kinsella, Mr. Filler and Kinsella Group have particular expertise advising U.S. and Chinese clients on the intricacies of cross-border merger, acquisition and joint-venture transactions.
