How to invest in Chinese education & avoid the pitfalls

One private equity investor sees value in online education in an off-line environment. He also outlines the risk of surprise policy shifts by Chinese regulators.

Conrad Tsang founded Hong Kong-headquartered Strategic Year Holdings in 2015 which focuses on education investments.

Prior to founding Strategic Year Holdings, he spent 13 years at Baring Private Equity Asia and set up the firm's Beijing office. Before that, he was with Merrill Lynch Asia Pacific doing equity research, focusing on media and retail sectors.

The companies he has been involved over the years include Noah Education Holdings, Minsheng Education and Nord Anglia Education. Strategic Year Holdings has invested in Kasca Education. 

We thought he was the right man to school us in investing in the education sector.
