唐劲草：一级市场亟需“放心资本”

Core Viewpoint - The private equity investment industry is currently facing significant challenges, including difficulties in fundraising and exit strategies, necessitating the development of "reliable capital" to restore trust among stakeholders [2][8]. Group 1: Industry Challenges - The private equity investment sector is undergoing a major cleanup, with 360 private equity and venture capital managers deregistered in the first seven months of 2025, continuing the trend of the past two years [2]. - The fundraising difficulties are deepening, with a lack of "long money" in the market, which is essential for sustainable investment [3]. - The exit issue is critical, as many funds established during the 2015-2016 "double innovation" wave are now at a crucial exit stage, leading to a reliance on IPOs as the primary exit route [7]. Group 2: Fundraising Solutions - The introduction of "science and technology bonds" has emerged as a new fundraising tool, with over 30 private equity institutions issuing or registering bonds totaling over 20 billion yuan by mid-2025 [5]. - However, the debt nature of these bonds increases financial costs and repayment pressures for venture capital institutions, which contradicts the industry's operational logic of leveraging management capabilities to attract social capital [6]. Group 3: Trust Reconstruction - A trust crisis is escalating in the venture capital industry, with limited partners (LPs) imposing stricter requirements on general partners (GPs) regarding management fees and fund terms [8]. - The concept of "reliable capital" is proposed to address these issues, emphasizing the need for trust in fundraising, investment, management, and exit processes [9]. Group 4: Characteristics of Reliable Capital - Reliable capital should have stable long-term funding sources, high risk tolerance, and a robust risk management mechanism [10]. - It should also establish transparent information disclosure and communication mechanisms to manage investor expectations effectively [10]. Group 5: Recommendations for Development - Establish mechanisms to attract long-term capital, such as insurance and bank funds, into the private equity investment LP sector [11]. - Improve the risk management system throughout the investment process, from project selection to post-investment management [12]. - Enhance regular investor information disclosure and emergency warning mechanisms to increase fund operation transparency [13]. - Innovate post-investment management and exit mechanisms, providing strategic planning and resource matching for invested companies [14]. - Implement a tolerance mechanism for risks and failures, allowing for a more flexible investment environment [15]. - Encourage the cancellation of mandatory betting or repurchase requirements to align with normal industry practices [16]. Group 6: Multi-Fund Group Model - Transitioning from a single large fund model to a multi-target, multi-level fund group model can enhance capital efficiency and optimize investment layouts [16]. - This model allows for differentiated investment and risk diversification, marking a shift towards refined strategic management in local government industrial capital operations [16]. Group 7: Differentiated Regulation - Implementing differentiated regulation for venture capital funds is crucial for fostering high-quality development and nurturing new productive forces [17]. - The core of differentiated regulation lies in optimizing services and reducing burdens, including providing tax incentives for long-term investment funds [18]. - This approach aims to guide the industry back to its roots, supporting national strategies and encouraging early, small, long-term investments in key technological areas [19].
