CDH Investments

CDH Investments is a Chinese investment firm whose real-assets arm, CDH Real Estate, co-manages a roughly 5 billion yuan logistics infrastructure fund with JD Property under a Co-GP model, with insurance capital such as China Post Insurance and Generali China Life as the main limited partners . The firm has built a practice around what one dollar-fund buyout head described as helping mature Chinese companies execute large overseas acquisitions—most prominently the $7.1 billion Smithfield takeover for WH Group and the Shark Ninja deal alongside Joyoung's parent—then riding the "redividend of their re-entrepreneurship" . CDH's real-estate team, founded in 2009, runs roughly 20 funds across China, the US and Japan with nearly 10 billion yuan in assets, and secured one of the first pilot licences for private real-estate investment funds after China's 2023 regulatory easing .
