Chinese regulators have appointed CICC and UBS as advisers as they move to consolidate their hold on Anbang Insurance and to begin to unwind its investments, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The conglomerate’s founder, Wu Xiaohui, was sentenced to 18 years in jail on fraud and embezzlement charges. Mr Wu is expected to appeal his sentence, these people said.
