The firm operates a hybrid business model combining direct private equity investment, M&A advisory, restructuring, and project incubation, with explicit mandates as manager of three notable government industry funds: the Guangzhou New Industry Fund, a sub-fund of the Hunan New Industry Guidance Fund, and the Qingdao National Military-Civil Fusion Fund.

The firm has received multiple CVSource (投中集团) Top 10 recognitions as a Chinese government industry fund manager and M&A intermediary, and has been listed on Chinese private equity investment-access white lists.
