One bitten, twice shy? Not China Investment Corporation, which suffered abuse for its disastrous $3bn punt on Blackstone. Investing ahead of the private equity house's $31 a share initial public offering, CIC watched the stock drop below $4, before recovering to today's $13.5. Older, wiser, it is venturing back into the same waters, with an innovative two-step transaction with Apax Partners.
一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳?这话可不能用在manbetx3.0 投资公司(China Investment Corporation)身上。该机构曾将30亿美元投入百仕通(Blackstone),结果遭遇灾难性亏损,为此饱受非议。在百仕通这家私人股本公司以每股31美元进行首次公开发行(IPO)之前,中投对其进行投资。随后,中投眼睁睁看着百仕通的股价跌至每股4美元以下,而后收复部分失地,回升至现在的每股13.5美元水平。在吸取经验教训之后,中投正再次涉足私人股本行业,与Apax Partners达成创新的两步交易。
