Singapore -- (SBWire) -- 03/14/2022 --Headcount is rising across the market in Hong Kong as China's private equity firms look to leverage new talent following the slump in private equity and mergers and acquisitions activity. This drop in fourth quarter activity in 2021 was triggered by a number of factors, from COVID rules to market dislocation and government clampdown on fast-growth industries. It means that private equity has had a fairly slow start in 2022 but that isn't likely to be the case for much longer. Now, private equity firms are on the hunt for both assets and talent and there have already been strategic statements of intent from major players in the market, particularly with respect to recruiting talent for tech /growth and cross-border investment.
