China’s Citic Holds Big Stake In New Hedge Fund

Chinese investment banking giant Citic Group has been revealed as the major investor behind a new China-focused hedge fund.

Citic Securities International is the owner of a 19% strategic stake in VisionGain Capital, Asian Investor reports. When VisionGain was established last year, founders Tina So and Ye Xiang indicated that a major Chinese financial institution would own a large chunk of the firm.
