INVESTMENT BANKING ADVISORY

Specialists in Cross-Border Transactions

Sierra Asia Partners' investment banking advisors have years of on-the-ground experience in China. We have been involved in some of the first public equity offerings of Chinese companies, as well as in placing private equity for growing companies. Further, we have completed more than $26 billion in transactions globally. This track record of success has laid the foundation for the advisory services we offer to clients today. It also has equipped us to work strategically and discreetly on our clients' behalf to make deals happen.

Capital Raising
In helping clients raise capital to finance their China projects, our executives access our broad network of corporations, leading fund investors -- both China-based and international, and private investors to successfully complete deals. We also maximize our deal-making expertise and network of international contacts to help Chinese companies in search of capital, strategic alliances and support in accessing international markets.

Mergers & Acquisitions
In executing mergers and acquisitions in China or in helping Chinese clients pursue outbound acquisitions, we collaborate with clients to devise and implement solutions tailored to their most challenging issues. Our senior executives are equally adept at helping Chinese companies pursue acquisitions outside China.

New Business Ventures
As one of the world's most dynamic economies, China offers fertile ground for new business ventures. We partner with our clients to realize opportunities by conceptualizing new enterprises and finding partners in China who can promote and finance their businesses.

Case Studies
Sierra Asia Partners assists companies that range in size from Fortune 500 to small businesses and hail from such diverse industries as high technology to media/entertainment to consumer products to clean energy.
