JG Investment

What JG Investment does

JG Investment (兼固资本, legal name Shenzhen Jiangu Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd.) is a private equity firm founded in 2017 by Jeffery Gui, a former Managing Director at The Carlyle Group. The firm operates a dual-headquarters model in Beijing and Shenzhen with team presence in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and manages a flagship RMB-denominated fund of RMB 3 billion (approximately USD 420 million) raised at inception from institutional investors, family offices, government guidance funds, and high-net-worth individuals. Its investment strategy targets growth and late-stage companies in China's high-growth sectors — technology and telecommunications, consumer and retail, high-end manufacturing, and healthcare — with an emphasis on investments that have a clear path to public listing.

The firm's product is the fund vehicle itself, paired with full-cycle investment management services: deal sourcing, due diligence, investment execution, and active post-investment management. Post-investment value creation is supported by a full-time internal team supplemented by external industry advisors — former CEOs, CFOs, and entrepreneurs serving on the investment committee or as project partners. The team is drawn from globally top-tier PE firms and investment banks including Carlyle, KKR, Hillhouse (Hony), IDG, Merrill Lynch, CICC, and CITIC Securities, which underpins the firm's stated combination of international PE valuation methodologies with a domestic RMB fund approach.

Revenue is generated through traditional private equity fund economics — annual management fees on committed/invested capital plus carried interest on realized returns above a hurdle — with the first material liquidity event being the February 2020 STAR Market IPO of portfolio company Autel (道通科技, ticker 688208) at a listing-day market capitalization of RMB 33.066 billion. Subsequent portfolio expansion into medtech (Microtech Medical 硅基仿生, Ustar 优思达), digital governance (CityCloud 城云科技), industrial AI (DataStory 数之联), and consumer (52TOYS, Qian Dama 钱大妈) demonstrates a broadening sector footprint. The firm has accumulated more than a dozen industry awards between 2017 and 2020 from Chinese PE/VC industry bodies including Zero2IPO, CVINFO, ChineseVenture, 21st Century Business Herald, and the Shenzhen PE Association, providing brand credibility in the domestic fundraising market.
