Other functions include providing advisory services for potential acquisitions of hospitality assets by other Chinese investors, and assisting the Healthcare & Wellness Division in the management of their facilities worldwide.
The target market for this Division includes many of the largest Chinese State Owned Enterprises (SOEs), as well as the primary investment agencies and main corporations of the Chinese Government. AAEE focuses on identifying projects throughout the Americas that would be of interest not only to the largest Chinese SOEs, but also to CBEX registered members and institutional investors.
For clients wishing to acquire all or part of a business, the Division operates on the basis of buy mandates, normally confidential in nature. Projects of clients wishing to sell or merge are handled in one of two ways: On a confidential mandate basis, or by “listing” a company with CBEX. The latter provides more than 4,000 investors in China the opportunity to evaluate the merits of the listed project/company.
Due to the demand of these services, and the current interests of Chinese investors, the Division is currently only accepting projects of $50 million USD or greater, and is focusing primarily on opportunities in mining, natural resources, technology, telecommunications, energy, and financial services.
