HKPEFA has its root going back to 2010 where a group of finance professionals in the VC/PE industry who collaborated and developed professional activities to promote the industry standards and practices.
It resulted as a platform for finance and legal professionals in the PE/VC industry for sharing information and networking. The group has grown from being a small network to one of the largest PE/VC organizations in Hong Kong consisting of CFOs, COOs, controllers, finance managers, legal counsels and other participants from the industry.
