Established in 1998, the CID Group is one of the fastest growing Asia-headquartered private equity firms.  The CID Group focuses its investments in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Korea, and United States because of its strong local knowledge and network. The CID Group has investments in over 102 companies across the region. 

Asia’s potential over the next 20 years is undeniable, but “potential” only means opportunities abound.  Conducting business and closing deals over thousands of miles span requires that there is a tremendous amount of trust in the relationship.  The CID Group works and operates in American, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chinese business cultures and is able to meld disparate resources into profitable companies.  The CID Group’s dedication to serving as a regional resource hub has made it a preferred partner for many management teams, portfolio companies and multi-national conglomerates. 

The CID Group operates on a few core principles.  First, successful investment requires synthesizing the investment acumen of a financial investor with the focus of a successful operational manager and the vision of an industry leader.  Second, successful execution requires careful analysis, discipline and leveraging of available resources. As a result, the CID Group plays an active role in partnering with management to identify opportunities, set objectives, and execute to plan.  In a world of excess capital, the CID Group believe that growing the core businesses through active involvement and building synergies is the key to achieving superior returns for its investors, not simply financial engineering.

As a result of our industry-leading returns, investors in our previous funds include many prominent financial institutions, banks, insurance companies, public corporations and institutional investors who continue to support us through several funds.
