- In common with other major banking and investment groups, The Guthrie Group sees China in particular, and Asia in general, as one of the best sources of growth opportunities over the next decade. It has established working relationships with Chinese professional services firms and other intermediaries in major cities to further its ambitions
- Our view is shared by, amongst other, HSBC which has in September 2009 relocated its CEO to Hong Kong, and Warren Buffet, who recently said “The 19th century belonged to England, the 20th century belonged to the US, and the 21st century belongs to China. Invest accordingly."
- Our interest particularly lies in working with, acquiring and/or financing companies in the infrastructure, internet/ecommerce, water and environmental sectors, together with other selected growth opportunities
- In September 2009 we were invited by the Governor of Hunan Province in the southwest of China to present our concepts and methods to a carefully selected audience of 80 small and medium-sized companies and Government officials and media. As a result of this and other activities, we are actively progressing three or four separate transactions which we expect to complete in early 2010.
- We would look forward to hearing from Chinese companies interested in discussing strategic options, as well as investors with existing interests in China which may be underperforming
