Trumid XT will connect the commercial footprint and liquidity from SGX’s Bond Pro and Trumid’s Market Center in the United States (US), to provide a robust network for trading of Asian fixed income.

Trumid XT will enhance international access to Asian bond markets, while also facilitating Asian investor participation in US and global emerging market credit. Asia’s fixed income market continues to expand on the back of economic growth and low interest rates, which have driven increases in corporate bond issuance and inflows to Asia-focused funds.

Its bond trading and market intelligence platform in the US features unique trading protocols and a broad network of over 535 buy and sell side institutions.

The company differentiates itself through nimble technology and product expertise, with rapid technology release cycles to meet its clients’ needs.

As Asia’s leading international fixed income marketplace, SGX is Asia’s most global bond venue with over 40% of Asia Pacific’s G3 currency issuances listed on the exchange. To date, SGX has listed over 6,600 listed securities by more than 1,600 issuers from 66 countries, with amounts issued of over US$2.2 trillion in 26 currencies. With Trumid XT’s launch, SGX Bond Pro’s diverse client base across Asia Pacific, UK, Europe and the Middle East will be able to connect seamlessly on one platform. Since its 2015 launch, SGX Bond Pro has built a diverse participant base that includes global and regional dealers, bank treasuries, wealth and asset managers, family offices and hedge funds.

XinTru’s independent management team includes Chief Revenue Officer Ben Falloon who brings 20 years of Asia fixed income experience and relationships, and Chief Operating Officer Mark Leahy who has significant experience building and operating capital markets businesses in the region.

Strategic Partnership To Elevate Bond Trading in Asia:

SGX first invested in Trumid back in 2018 and subsequently joined Hillhouse Capital in another round of investment in 2019 when Hillhouse Capital took a minority stake in Trumid.

Loh Boon Chye, Chief Executive Officer of SGX said, “Our early investment in Trumid paved the way for this deeper collaboration to advance the overall bond market infrastructure in Asia. Leveraging our Asian network and our Bond Pro business, we are excited to partner with Trumid and Hillhouse to accelerate the digitalisation and realise the full potential of Asia’s bond trading markets. XinTru brings together the unique characteristics of the partners in a joint venture where the sum is much greater than the parts.”

“Our upcoming platform, Trumid XT, is the missing link between Asian and US markets and will connect their respective liquidity pools in a transparent and efficient manner. Offering solutions that support the existing dealer-to-client market structure as well as investor-to-investor, Trumid XT will create network effects that can unlock significant opportunities in Asian bond trading markets for our clients.”

Mike Sobel, President of Trumid, said, “Our US experience demonstrates that built-for-purpose technology and workflow tools can transform the bond trading experience. Our US clients are excited to introduce their colleagues in Asia to the Trumid XT platform. With our partners, we look forward to adding value for our global client base and driving growth of electronic bond trading in Asia.”

Lei Zhang, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Hillhouse, said, “We believe that Asian bond markets are ready for the next level of growth. Given Trumid’s success in developing a state-of-the-art bond trading platform in the US, together with SGX’s fixed income experience in Asia as well as Hillhouse’s network and operational expertise, Trumid XT promises to be an outstanding Asian corporate bond trading platform for the world.”

Global investment to learning technology companies surged to a breathtaking $36.38 billion in 2020, up dramatically from the $18.66 billion invested in 2019 and more than double the $16.34 billion invested in 2018. The number of deals spiked from 896 in 2019 to 1,251 deals in 2020.

This whitepaper breaks out investments made to ten types of learning technology products: three legacy products and seven advanced learning technologies. The legacy products include Self-pace eLearning (asynchronous courseware), Digital ReferenceWare (test prep, audiobooks, videos, manuals, etc.), and Collaboration-based Learning (synchronous live online classes and tutoring)

The advanced learning technology products include AI-based Learning, Mixed Reality Learning (Simulation, AR, and VR), Game-based Learning, Cognitive Learning (behavior modification), Mobile Learning, Location-based Learning, and Education and Training Bots (both physical and virtual).

“Despite the massive funding going to Chinese companies, the US accounted for the highest amounts of funding,” comments Sam Adkins, the Chief Researcher at Metaari. “Just over $16.15 billion went to 611 US learning technology developers in 2020. This is 44.4% of all global investments made in 2020.”

There were very large investments made to online learning companies in China, but only to a few companies. A full 31.6% ($11.52 billion) of all global investments in 2020 went to just 125 Chinese companies. Yet, this funding was highly concentrated in just two companies: Yuanfudao and Zuoyebang. Combined, they garnered 50.8% of all funding going to Chinese learning technology developers in 2020.

“Combined, the US and China accounted for 76.0% of all global funding in 2020,” comments Adkins. “Yet, there are major differences in the investment patterns in China and the US. In China, investors pumped very large amounts into a relatively small number of companies and most of them offer live online classes.”

Investments in the US were much smaller than China but went to a large number of companies. The one striking thing about the investment patterns in the US is the keen investor interest in AI-based Learning companies. A total of $8.45 billion was invested in 287 AI-based Learning companies in the US in 2020. To put this in context, a full 83% of all global investments in AI-based Learning went to US companies. In sharp contrast, “only” $534.6 million went to just 22 AI-based Learning companies in China; a mere 5.3% of the total global investments made to AI-based Learning companies.

Investment in corporate-facing companies in 2020 nearly doubled compared to 2019; investment reached a breathtaking $10.39 billion in 2019. A massive $17.22 billion went to 702 corporate-facing companies in 2020.

Funding declined for consumer-facing learning technology companies in 2019 but rebounded dramatically in 2020. Funding dropped to $6.67 billion in 2019, but spiked to $13.48 billion in 2020.

In 2019, there were only 84 deals made with PreK-12 learning technology companies and investment fell to $855.32 million. This changed dramatically in 2020, with $4.39 billion going to 107 companies serving the PreK-12 segment. In 2020, funding to learning technology suppliers serving the global higher education segments surged to $1.09 billion.

The big winners in 2020 were AI-based Learning developers, Collaboration-based Learning (live online tutoring) providers, Mixed Reality Learning developers, and Mobile Learning edtech companies. But it was AI-based Learning that attracted the largest amount of funding by a wide margin.

An astonishing $3.67 billion was invested in 120 AI-based Learning companies in 2019. This pales in comparison to the $10.17 billion that went to 359 AI-based Learning companies in 2020. The vast majority (83%) of funding went to US startups.

Corporations (particularly healthcare firms) are the top buyers of AI-based Learning followed by federal government agencies across the planet. Companies and agencies are using AI-based Learning in cybersecurity training, pre-employment assessment, intelligent business simulations, augmented predictive analytics (also called insight engines), big data visualization, knowledge graphing, digital twins and digital employees, and a relatively new trend, AI-based IT operations and support (AIOps). AI has essentially reinvented the call center industry.

AI-based Learning is used in five major ways in healthcare: pathology, analytics, diagnosis, etiology (causation), and treatment (therapy). When enhanced with AI, platforms designed for all five become knowledge engines.

“Perhaps the greatest impact on AI-based Learning in the healthcare industry are the advances being made in precision medicine, clinical decision support, and in imaging diagnostics,” adds Adkins.

There was a sharp spike in investments made to PreK-12 learning technology providers in India. Just under $3.0 billion ($2.96 billion) in capital flowed to 114 learning technology companies in India in 2020, but 38% of this went to just one company; the online education juggernaut BYJU’S raised $1.11 billion in five rounds in 2020.

Learning technology investments spiked in the UK and Germany in 2020 but declined in France and Canada compared to 2019. Investments rebounded in the Nordic Cluster, Israel, and Australia after declines in 2019. Investment activity is inherently unpredictable and nowhere is that more apparent than the rebounds and declines in 2020.

Latin America is again a hotbed of investment in edtech startups after three years of decline. In 2019, only $98.7 million was invested in just 12 learning technology companies in the region. That changed dramatically in 2020 with 23 companies raising $346.0 million in funding.

Eighteen edtech companies in Southeast Asia raised a combined total of $327.8 million in funding in 2019, up more than four times from the $75.5 million invested in 2018. This spiked dramatically in 2020 with $595.9 million going to 41 edtech companies in the region.

Hong Kong, May 4, 2018 /Xinwengao.com/ - China Money Network, the leading digital forward-looking intelligence company tracking China’s smart investments and technology innovations, announces their latest report: China VC Tracker, today.

Every month the China VC Tracker will give readers an in-depth analysis of China’s venture capital activities during the past month analyzing the Chinese VC market. The Chinese VC market was the biggest in the world in terms of total capital deployed toward VC-backed companies in China in the month of April.

“What we have found in our analysis and data sets across 209 deals tracked in the month of April is truly amazing in its sheer scale,” said Nina Xiang, founder and managing editor, China Money Network. “The Chinese VC market is showing an aggressive upward thrust in deal-making by the country’s leading technology companies and government-backed funds that are endowed with hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars earmarked to drive innovation.”

The China VC Tracker, exclusively produced by China Money Network, will be available at the beginning of each month. This unique report is the most thorough, authoritative and in-depth industry review of the Chinese VC universe. Users should subscribe to China Money Network newsletter to receive the monthly report on a complimentary basis:

“China Money Network provides our customers with unique insights through the eyes of our local teams across the Greater China region, who deliver actionable data allowing global investors the tools needed to execute deals in China,” said Naveet McMahon, co-founder and managing partner, China Money Network.

“We have strong relationships with Chinese investors and companies, enabling us to collect valuable intelligence that provides our customers a unique advantage in the market place.”

Chinese venture capital activity continued its blistering pace of growth in April, with investors inking 209 deals with venture-backed companies worth a total US$15.59 billion. April’s total VC deal value in China was 166% higher than the monthly average in the U.S., according to the China VC Tracker released by China Money Network today.

By comparison, in the U.S., during the first three months of 2018, investors deployed an average US$9.4 billion per month, for a total US$28.2 billion in the first quarter. That number is the highest amount in any single quarter since 2006, PitchBook data showed.

China’s venture capital market is being buoyed by the aggressive investment pace of its largest technology giants, including Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu. The three firms ranked as the first, fourth and eighth most active investors in the past month, inking 11, 5 and 4 deals respectively. Tencent and Alibaba participated in deals totaling US$5.7 billion and US$1.7 billion, respectively, while Baidu was involved in deals worth US$154 million.

Sequoia Capital was the second most active investor, having invested in 9 deals worth a total of US$5.3 billion, far ahead of its peers. Other investors making the most deals last month included Zhen Fund, IDG Capital, Qiming Venture Partners, Legend Capital and JD.com.

Government funds also contributed to the elevated VC deal activity by leading some massive funding rounds. China Reform Fund Management Co., Ltd, an investment firm backed by China Reform Holdings Corporation Ltd. and Chinese state-owned enterprises, led a RMB1 billion (US$159 million) series C round in fintech start-up 100Credit. It also teamed up with Softbank Vision Fund to invest US$1.9 billion in Chinese truck-hailing firm Manbang Group.

Not only did Chinese VC investors deploy much more in aggregate terms than their U.S. counterparts, they also made bigger-ticket capital injections per deal. The average deal size in China was US$70.24 million in April, more than four times the US$16.7 million average deal size in the U.S. during the first three months, according to data from China VC Tracker.

There were 19 VC deals in China last month worth more than US$100 million, while four were for deals over US$1 billion each. There were 32 VC deals bigger than US$50 million in China during April. That compared to 25.3 such deals recorded monthly in the U.S. during the first quarter.

China’s consumer upgrade trend was very much in evidence in the type of companies receiving funding in April. While technology mainstays software and Internet saw the most deals, with 36 VC financing rounds completed, media and entertainment, retail and consumer, healthcare and education also made strong showings.

Around 81.72% of the VC deals recorded in April were early stage investment from angel to series B rounds. Nearly half of all VC deals were for companies raising series A rounds, while 20.3% were series B deals. Angel and seed investments accounted 11.67% of the total. Only 18.28% were later stage VC investments of series C round and later.

Beijing, China’s capital city, was the capital of venture-backed companies, with 79 companies there receiving capital in April, versus 46 for second place Shanghai. Shenzhen ranks third with 21 VC-backed companies based in the coastal city, followed by Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Hong Kong.

The press release US$15.6B Venture Capital Investment Pushes China To New Global Heights comes from Xinwengao.com press release distribution and journalist media database service in China.

Hong Kong, November 28, 2017 /Xinwengao.com/ - Under the backdrop of an economic rationalization and a government-led campaign to reduce excess capacity and lower corporate stock and leverage, the investible assets in this wave of expected rising distressed debt in China has clearly different characteristics compared to past cycles.

China Money Network has researched that the latest wave of deals in Chinese distressed debt space appear to have higher asset quality compared to previous non-performing loans entering the market. This could mean that legal complexity of these obligations is much greater this time around. So as the government’s determination to strengthen implementation of the Bankruptcy Law provides a more robust legal environment for investors operations in China, an expanded investment strategy for bankruptcies, NLP’s, debt-to-equity conversion and emergency funding all are expected to be deployed as this market continues to mature.

“This high-level event will gather relevant market investors and deal makers together for a practical ‘lessons learned’ panel discussion on investment opportunities on China’s special situations market,” said Naveet McMahon, managing partner of China Money Network. “Participants wanting to explore the challenges and avoid the pitfalls of these opportunities should join our event.”

China Money Network and KPMG  are proud to present the annual Special Situations Forum: China 2017 to gather leading industry experts to brainstorm and share valuable insights.

The press release How Fast Are Venture Capitalists Moving To Cure China’s Ills? comes from Xinwengao.com press release distribution and journalist media database service in China.

Beijing, China, May 9, 2017 /Xinwengao.com/ - China Money Network, the trusted news platform on China for millions of global investors, today launches its China Unicorn Ranking 2017, the most complete and up-to-date list of Chinese private companies valued at US$1 billion or more.

With 102 unicorns, a term used to describe the statistical rarity of such successful ventures, China has a unicorn herd worth US$435 billion, just shy of Belgium’s gross domestic product (GDP). If Chinese unicorns were an independent nation, they would form the world’s 26th largest economy.

“We are proud to announce our China Unicorn Ranking today, which is the result of months of research conducted by our hard-working team,” says Nina Xiang, editor and founder of China Money Network. “The rise of unicorns is truly an epitome of our time, in which private capital has grown its power to unprecedented levels and technology continues to reshape our imaginations of the future.”

In this debut ranking, the top ten spots are dominated by eight decacorns, a term used for private venture-funded companies worth over US$10 billion, including Alibaba’s Ant Financial, smartphone maker Xiaomi Inc., ride sharing firm Didi Chuxing, Internet finance firm Lufax, peer review and group buying platform Meituan-Dianping, news app Toutiao, drone-maker DJI and Tencent Music.

The power of Chinese tech giant trio, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, commonly referred to as BAT, is also evident throughout the list. Thirteen unicorns worth US$124.51 billion are directly affiliated or controlled by the BAT, taking 29% of the total in terms of valuation. Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu each have 22, 13 and 10 unicorns under their belt, respectively.

Today, China Money Network is also releasing its ranking of Top 10 VCs Backing China’s Unicorn Boom, which lists ten venture capital firms with the most unicorns in their portfolio. Sequoia Capital is the absolute winner, with 21 unicorns, while IDG Capital takes second place, with 15 unicorns in its portfolio. Matrix Partners China and Qiming Venture Partners tie for third place, each with 11 unicorns.

Amazingly, two non-Chinese firms made the list, with Singapore’s Temasek Holdings and DST Global, headed by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, each having 10 and 9 unicorns, respectively.

“Unicorns are a good barometer for technology and venture capital markets, and the ability to identify and invest in unicorns is a true testament to investors’ visions and foresight,” adds Nina Xiang. “Our ranking of the Top 10 VCs Backing China’s Unicorn Boom shows clearly that the best investors are also those that have invested in the most unicorns.”
