China Renaissance Appoints New Chair
Boutique investment firm China Renaissance Holdings Limited, known for orchestrating significant technology mergers in China, has named Hui Yin-ching, the wife of missing founder Bao Fan, as its new chairperson as of October 9.

- Increasing Business Success: Her extensive management experience and established network are expected to significantly bolster the firm’s prospects.
Bao Fan's Disappearance and Its Impact
Bao Fan, the architect behind China Renaissance, vanished in February 2023 during an anti-corruption crackdown, which has led to questions surrounding the firm's stability. The firm’s share price has seen considerable fluctuations and a marked decline in employee numbers since.
- Renaissance shares recently rose by 1.6%, landing at HK$3.76.
- Bao's absence has triggered a 72% stock plunge over the last year.
- Renaissance reported a net loss of 472 million yuan last year.
The dynamic leadership of Hui Yin-ching could be pivotal at a time when the firm navigates these challenges.
