Overseas private equity companies warm up to QFLP

BEIJING - The trial of China's new Qualified Foreign Limited Partnerships (QFLP) policy is proving to be a hit with overseas private equity (PE) companies, who are showing interest in the direct-investment channel.

The policy allows a certain number of foreign PE funds to make equity investments in China after exchange settlement.

Brian Zhou, of Carlyle China, told China Daily that Carlyle Group welcomes the QFLP policy.
