The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong had an exuberant year in 2006 when it listed sixty-two companies. The listing of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited on its Main Board earned the exchange the enviable status of being home to the world's largest initial public offering. The HK$333.2 billion in initial public offering capital raised during the year propelled it to the position of second among global exchanges, behind London but ahead of New York. This Article examines an increasingly common feature of initial public offerings in Hong Kong, namely, the introduction of "cornerstone investors" whose participation enhances the general receptiveness to a stock offering. This approach does have a significant downside, however. The new category of "cornerstone investor" may not be...

The "reverse merger" is an alternative to the initial public offering method of "going public." This back-door SEC registration technique is relatively common in practice, but is entirely ignored in finance textbooks as well as the academic literature. The case considers China Automotive Systems Inc, formed when Visions-In-Glass Inc, a US non-operating, public "shell"company, acquires Great Genesis Holdings Ltd, a closely held Hong Kong company that indirectly owns joint venture interests in mainland China. In addition to focusing on the process of the reverse merger and the financial returns to various investor groups, this case examines how recent SEC actions may affect future reverse mergers. These actions include the suspension of trading in 26 shell companies for delinquent reporti...

In the private equity world, partnership agreements have received praise from many corners for reducing the agency costs arising between the interests of fund managers and investors. This article sets out to assess contract design in private equity partnerships. The argument here is that the importance of many of these heralded contract design features has been overstated. Part II describes the legal rights of investors in private equity funds. By default, investors in private limited partnerships have limited rights to participate in day-to-day operations or challenge decisions of fund managers. As a result of this set of default legal rules, investors in these funds face a familiar agency problem. That is, fund managers may be emboldened to pursue their own self-interest at the expens...
