Edmond Hui

Founder & CEO at Acacia Venture Capital Partners (China)

…My name is Edmond Hui, I’m based in Shanghai and I’m originally from the UK, from London. I’m a CEO of Acacia Venture Capital Partners, which is an early-stage venture fund that invests primarily outside of China. But what we do is we link up Chinese opportunities (what we call ‘geographical arbitrage’), so looking at patent matching within China and then applying that to emerging markets. It gives very good returns, IRR is currently at 128% annualised for fund 2.

When we go out of China we also bring companies into China as well, thus helping our portfolio a lot to assist companies with connecting to Chinese giants like the leading logistics player Sum-Shum. I would advise guest participants in the Global Investment Leaders Club to definitely enjoy the experience of being a Club member; it’s a unique experience to be able to meet people from all around the world and various investment industries, and I’ve had the opportunity to meet a very diverse group of people, plenty of people who I’d like to collaborate with in the future and I have a lot of kudos for those interactions.

      "I think the format is wonderful. And it is such a great job you and your team organizing everything. I have met a lot of people here, that I think, I wouldn’t have met anywhere else. Business owners, others CEO’s, I mean, people really from diverse areas of life, who spend most of their time in West, in Europe, in America. It’s really wonderful to meet middle easterners, feel the warmth of the culture, it’s really great meeting people who really understand commodities, background here they seem to really care to understand what we do in energy, space, in metal, in crypto currency even… The face-to-face contact becomes even more important. Actually at the Forum here we’ve met two guys, who I’ve talked recently via phone, there actually was a lot of business sense for us working together, but we’ve never really been connected. At the Forum you meet each other, you break bread, you drink tea, and we like, we really should being working together. We are meeting formally on Thursday to discuss that, so thanks for being the catalyst there."
