在为集富亚洲效力7年之后,陈镇洪最终还是加入了VC独立的大潮。
日前,陈镇洪在电子邮件中证实,其已经离开集富亚洲,并与John Zwaanstra一起合作创建了天泉投资(Spring Capital Asia, Limited ,“Spring Capital”)。主要投资者和投资委员会成员对天泉投资承诺出资的总额已经超过了1亿美元。
目前,天泉投资的一期基金仍然在募集过程当中。
天泉投资的主要投资目标集中在中国内地和香港地区的扩张期以及小型收购项目。天泉投资单笔交易的金融一般在1000万美元到2500万美元之间。
作为Penta的关联机构,天泉投资将和Penta共用后者设在中国香港的办公室。Penta从1998年就开始在亚洲开始投资活动,目前管理的资产超过了40亿美元。
陈镇洪曾经先后任职于渣打亚洲、苏伊士亚洲、建力企业和汇丰直接投资(亚洲)、集富亚洲,累计拥有超过19年的投资银行和私募投资从业经验。陈镇洪成功发掘并扶持的众多中国优秀企业包括但不限于:BENQ、宝姿时装(香港主板上市)、3721 (被雅虎收购)、中国无线(香港主板上市)、国人通讯 (纳斯达克上市:GRRF)、加拿大太阳能(纳斯达克上市:CSIQ)、LDK (纽约交易所上市)、上海PPG.但是陈镇洪表示,到目前为止其职业生涯中的主要成就是在集富亚洲取得的。

Dear Harry,
Hope all is well.
I am writing to let you know that, after 7 years of working at JAFCO Asia, I co-found Spring Capital Asia, Limited ("Spring Capital") with John Zwaanstra as an affiliate of Penta Investment Advisers ("Penta")。 In excess of US$100 million has been committed by the anchor investors and the Investment Committee members. The primary focus is on expansion capital and small cap buyouts in China and HK. The typical deal size ranges from US$10-25 million per transaction.
JAFCO Asia has been a major source of pride in my career as the firm has built a strong team during my term. I greatly appreciate all your support and friendship these 7 years! I will remain contactable under JAFCO Asia's address and email till mid November.
Once again, thank you. I am certain that our paths will cross again in a new dimension.
Let me know when you next in HK.
With best wishes,
Vincent Chan, CFA
