Evergrande Not Enough to Deter Investcorp From China Expansion - Bloomberg

 

Investcorp Holdings BSC, one of the largest foreign buyers of U.S. real estate, remains bullish on the world’s biggest economy and expects the crisis enveloping China Evergrande Group to offer fresh opportunities for the biggest private equity and alternative asset manager as it seeks to expand in Asia.

The top executive at the Bahrain-based firm described the problems at the Chinese developer as temporary and likely to be contained within Asia, and said the situation could even have “a calming effect on the prices of real estate that are really ballooning in parts of China.”

Investcorp, which already has an office in Beijing and launched a health-care investment platform last year, plans to keep its focus in China on the technology, health-care and food sectors, according to Executive Chairman Mohammed Alardhi.

“We’re there for the opportunities, we’re there for the long term,” he said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Sunday.
