Hotung Group ("Hotung") was established in 1987. The founding shareholders
include Tai Lung Capital, DaiWa Securities, now NIF SMBC Ventures
Co., Chiatung Bank, now Mega International Financial Holding Corp.
and Feng Tay Enterprise, et cetera.
Mr. Cheng-Wang Huang , the founding chairman of Hotung, led Hotung
through different economic cycles and industrial growth in Taiwan
and created outstanding performance. In 2005 Tsui-Hui Huang becomes
Hotung's new president and CEO and begins to lead the group to the
next level.
After 20 years' successful investments and proven track records, Hotung
has evolved and become one of the top venture capital firms in Taiwan
with over $350M under management. More than 130 companies in our portfolio
went public in Asia and USA. Over time, Hotung Group has invested
in more than four hundred and sixty companies worldwide, of which
more than ninety are in US. This network is a very important resource
for our value adds and future investments. Hotung has since returned
more than $600M capital to its fund investors.
In 1997, Hotung consolidated some of the funds together and put them
under the vehicle called Hotung Investment Holding Limited ("HIHL")
and has since been listed in Singapore Main Exchange. Hotung currently
has offices in Taipei, Shanghai and Silicon Valley with over thirty
seasoned professionals handling cross-Pacific and local investments.
We also have strategic partners in the US, Japan, Korea, Germany,
and China. Collectively, our team have over two hundred years of experience
in securities, private equity and venture capital business.
Hotung's US investments started in early 1990s. In 2002 we officially
set up an office in San Jose, which is at the heart of Silicon Valley.
We have since become one of the leading Asian VCs to invest in cutting
edge technologies in Bay Area and the rest of North America. Significant
exits include: AATI,
Infinera, Airespace/Cisco,
Resonext/RFMD,
Cicada/Vitesse,
Berkana/Qualcomm,
Opnext, Rasvia/Quanta,
just to name a few.
We are still very interested in semiconductor, telecommunication,
software space where we can provide most of our added values. We also
welcome deals in the area of alternative energy, cleantech, medical
devices, and so on.
