根据彭博新闻社看到的一份文件，亚洲私募股权公司Equity Partners在过去三年中出售了44亿美元的资产，在改组战略和高层团队后，每年向投资者返还了近五分之一的投资组合价值。
Equity Partners, the Asian buyout firm that broke away from UBS Group AG, has sold $4.4 billion in assets over the past three years, returning nearly a fifth of its portfolio value to investors each year after overhauling its strategy and senior ranks, according to a document seen by Bloomberg News.
该公司今年仅通过八笔交易就处置了22亿美元的资产，根据一份9月份的投资者文件，向其第四支基金的投资者分配了已缴资本的1.46倍。
The firm has disposed of $2.2 billion this year alone in eight transactions, distributing 1.46 times the paid-in capital of its fourth fund, according to a September investor document.
该文件显示，今年向投资者的支付额达到了净资产值的28%，几乎是BlackRock Inc.和Neuberger Berman估计的全球行业平均水平的两倍。总部位于香港的该公司对彭博的置评请求拒绝置评。
Payouts to investors reached 28% of net asset value this year, almost double the global industry average as estimated by BlackRock Inc. and Neuberger Berman, according to the document. The Hong Kong-based firm declined to comment in response to Bloomberg’s inquiry.
一位知情人士表示，退出交易的增加增强了该公司的流动性，并为其下一轮募资增添了动力。该人士因不获授权讨论内部 deliberations，要求不具名。
The pickup in exits has bolstered the firm’s liquidity and added momentum ahead of its next fundraising, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not be named discussing private deliberations.
该人士表示，在多年缓慢的分配和投资之后，Affinity在2023年底进行了重组，扭转了其在2019年至2021年进军新经济和成长型公司的举措，此举发生在其第六支基金首次亮相之前。
After years of slower distributions and investments, Affinity at the end of 2023 reset and reversed a 2019 to 2021 foray into new-economy and growth companies ahead of its Fund VI debut, the person said.
该文件显示，重组以来，Affinity在四笔交易中部署了22亿美元的股权，其中包括对目标公司获得控股权，专注于韩国、澳大利亚和东南亚的集中布局。
Since revamp, Affinity has deployed $2.2 billion of equity across four deals that included gaining control of target firms, the document showed, concentrating on a focused footprint in Korea, Australia and Southeast Asia.
三年前，在包括创始成员YT Park、CJ Lee和韩国负责人Sam Lee在内的三位高级合伙人退出后，Affinity转变方向，从少数股权交易转向专注于收购。
Affinity pivoted away from minority deals to focus on buyouts three years ago following the exit of three senior partners, including founding members YT Park, CJ Lee and Korea head Sam Lee.
最新的领导团队由四位合伙人组成，分别是Benny Lim、Samuel Kim、Michael Kim和Mark Chudek。

Affinity由前UBS银行家KY Tang于2002年创立，其历史可追溯至1998年，当时它在UBS Capital内运营。该人士表示，总体而言，它在五支基金中募集了140亿美元，投资了112亿美元，并实现了152亿美元的收益。
Founded by former UBS banker KY Tang in 2002, Affinity traces its history to 1998, when it operated within UBS Capital. Overall, it has raised $14 billion across five funds, investing $11.2 billion and realizing $15.2 billion in proceeds, the person said.
该公司去年还向投资者通报，另外三位合伙人将在其下一轮募资前离开。他们分别是投资者关系主管奚奇（Queenie Ho）、高级交易人郑益秀（Icksoo Jung）以及大中华区负责人刘健（Kenneth Liu）。
The firm also informed investors last year that three other partners would leave ahead of its next fundraising. They included Queenie Ho, Icksoo Jung and Kenneth Liu, the firm’s investor relations chief, senior dealmaker and Greater China head, respectively.
