Hao Capital

What Hao Capital does

Hao Capital (浩然资本) is a China-focused private equity firm founded in 2006, headquartered in Beijing with an additional office in Hong Kong. The firm manages four private equity funds with cumulative assets under management exceeding US$600 million. Its stated mandate is to provide growth capital, operational expertise, and cross-border M&A support to Chinese companies seeking to expand domestically or internationally. The firm is led by founder Elaine Wong and operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees, drawing on multi-disciplinary experience spanning investment, legal, capital markets, cross-border M&A, and operational management. Differentiators cited include the breadth of in-house disciplines versus single-skill PE competitors, and a cross-border platform enabled by its Beijing-Hong Kong footprint. Revenue is generated through conventional private equity economics — management fees on committed/managed capital across its four funds and, when realized, carried interest from successful exits — though specific revenue, AUM per fund, and portfolio company figures are not disclosed in the source data.
