Private equity flows are growing in importance across Asia Pacific. In 2007, Asian private equity bids made up just 9 percent of all private equity offers globally, but so far in 2008, this proportion has risen to 13 percent. There is an emerging trend of Asia-based funds investing outside of the region, with Compagnia Italiana Forme Acciaio, the Italian machinery producer, being snapped by a consortium of Chinese and US private equity firms in June 2008, closely followed by the USD 368 million sale of Nord Anglia Education, the UK education company, to Hong Kong-based Baring Private Equity Asia. With private equity firms now firmly entrenched in the region, the way in which they are perceived is becoming an increasingly important issue.
