Chum Capital Group Ltd. (“Chum”) is one of China’s most successful privately owned merchant banks. We invest in growth companies and advise mid-market companies in accessing international capital markets through public listing or mergers & acquisitions. Chum already made multiple successful investments in industries such as media, information technology, specialty chemical and automation control in China.

The firm combines global vision with local insight, whose success is based on the depth, breadth, and experience of a top-flight team of professionals, who come from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from operational roles in major companies to positions as strategy consultants and specialists in corporate finance, to uncover unrivaled opportunities in the Greater China region.

The firm’s investment and advisory approach, however, is fundamentally simple: Chum or Chum-affiliated companies acquire industry-leading companies and works with management to grow and improve them and thereby create shareholder value. In a world awash with information, Chum’s edge is its ability to leverage the local insight of its professionals, collaborating across the firms’ investment and advisory disciplines from deal sourcing and due diligence through client company development.

Chum focuses on sectors in which it has demonstrated expertise: consumer products and Service, industrial, media, healthcare, new commerce, agriculture, Environment and Energy , automotive & transportation, and retail. The Chum team embraces opportunities, works with senior managers of client companies to design ways of growing and improving their business, determines the optimal capital structure to support a company’s business strategy, and provides access to a global network of resources that strengthen operational execution. Chum’s conservative investment philosophy and disciplined investment and advisory process have generated extraordinary returns for investors in both privately owned companies and public markets.

Chum has always been a pioneer in delivering financial products to meet the demand of growth companies in China. Publicly traded blank check companies with substantial cash raised specifically for merging with operating companies are the latest Wall Street financial innovation first introduced by Chum to Chinese companies in 2004. Continuing its success employing blank check companies to help Chinese companies go public, Chum instituted three publicly traded vehicles in the U.S. that two were in January 2007 and one was in May 2011. Investing in blank check companies established by Chum principals, over 35 overseas institutional investors entrust Chum with their capital and their reputations.
