Carlyle’s Rubenstein: The Industry Has Changed, But We Are Fine
For professionals in the private equity industry, the talk of increased scrutiny, the prolonged fundraising efforts and the months of slow deal flow often help invoke a nostalgic feeling for the "good old days."

Private Equity Pins Hopes on China Agriculture

Private equity investment into China's agriculture sector sagged in 2012, but with the government vowing to modernize farming methods and general growing demand for food, going back to the land increasingly is looking like a good bet. CMIA Capital Partners and Infinity Group are among a handful of fund managers placing bigger bets on China's agricultural industry. CMIA is raising a new $150 million fund focused on food and agriculture investments and has already secured around $100 million in commitments, said Managing Partner Lee Chong Min. Meanwhile Infinity, a cross-border China-Israel fund, will back agriculture-related companies operating in Beijing Eco-Valley, a newly established agriculture park in the capital city.

U.K. retailer L.K. Bennett, which is majority owned by private equity firms Phoenix Equity Partners and Sirius Equity, is planning to open its first shop in China as mainland shoppers’ appetite for overseas brands shows no signs of abating.

Apax Partners and Permira invested 699 million U.K. pounds to take New Look private in 2004. However, with an increasing number of Chinese shoppers happy to travel overseas to snap up goods-–mostly luxury items--it may prove a better bet for those U.K. chains to stay put.
