ARC China includes a team of over 30 professionals who use a proven on-the-ground active investment strategy.  They make value-oriented, highly-involved public and pre-IPO private equity investments in high growth businesses in the Peoples’ Republic of China.  With CEO and Founder Adam Roseman, ARC China works tirelessly in their offices in Shanghai and Chengdu, L.A. and New York.

One important person who is part of the ARC China team is Michael Bruck.  With international experience for over 30 years in investing in China, Silicon Valley and Wall Street, Mr. Bruck has founded and operated many companies.  Prior to his work with ARC, he was the CEO of East Broadway Advisors, a financial advisory firm based in Hong Kong.  He was also, prior to this, a Managing Director at Tripod Capital, a China-focused private equity firm.

Mr. Bruck has a B.S. degree and an M.S. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Manchester in the U.K. and he has studied both finance and marketing at the Anderson School of Business at UCLA.

As CEO of ARC China, Adam Roseman is certainly a busy executive.  At the same time, he makes the time for charitable causes and sits on the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles.  He is also on the Board of Governors at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

Adam Roseman believes that CEOs and business leaders have a responsibility to invest in the communities that helped to form their success.  As he explains, “The need for business leaders to play an active role in philanthropy is greater than ever. An engaged and involved CEO helps set the tone that encourages individual employees to contribute time, talents and money to help make the world a better place.”

Representing ARC China in early June was Barry Freeman, a managing director in the Shanghai office of ARC China.  Mr. Freeman was one of the noted speakers at the 12th China Venture Capital and Private Equity Forum, presenting to a large number of interested parties including, investors, entrepreneurs, officials and policy-makers, experts and professional, all brought together to share ideas and discuss the investing  climate in today’s China. The focus of Mr. Freeman’s presentation was the activist investment strategy of ARC China which emphasizes the opportunities in the Tier II and Tier III areas of China.

The forum was held in Shenzhen, China, from June 4-6, 2010. ARC China was a natural participant, as it focuses most prominently on investing in the domestic consumption-oriented high-growth enterprises in China.

Mr. Freeman commented during his presentation that, “ARC China feels that the key risks of investing in Chinese public and private companies are corporate governance, financial transparency, and control over the exit of our investment. We require an active role in these three areas for all of our portfolio companies. ARC China has found Chinese entrepreneurs to be very receptive to our advice as they understand the long-term, mutually beneficial value that is created by implementing systems and processes supporting these key areas.”

The hosts of the forum were the Central Committee of China National Democratic Construction Association, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the People’s Government of Guangdong Province, and People’s Government of Shenzhen Municipality.

Adam Roseman is the CEO and founder of ARC China.

ARC China, where Adam Roseman is the founder and CEO, advises that investors should shift out of companies that rely on overseas sales that should move towards those that sell products domestically.  Such advice comes as they explain that China’s export model is in need of repair.

As Adam Roseman explained in a recent interview, “The export economy model is completely broken. They are working as fast as they can to develop their domestic economy.”

ARC China recommends, instead, to invest in Chinese retailers and similar industries, and to also invest in companies that focus on energy efficiency.

China has placed a huge economic focus on their energy-saving and carbon emission-reduction projects, allocating 210 billion Yuan ($31 billion) for these purposes.

As Adam Roseman ARC China points out, “There’s tremendous pressure from the civilian level all the way to the very senior government officials to make China cleaner,” Roseman said.

A major earthquake occurred in the Sechuan region of China while  Adam Roseman, CEO of ARC China was visiting  on business. After seeing the devastation in the wake of the disaster Roseman vowed to do what he could to  give back to the community and  rebuild the place that had fostered his great love and appreciation for the culture and people of China.

When he returned to the United States Roseman immediately began to organize a large fundraiser to benefit the people of the  region hit by the  earthquake.  The goals of the fundraiser were to raise awareness for the ongoing relief efforts and  to provide food, water, shelter and emergency aid to the more than five million Chinese left homeless by the deadly quake.

The immensely successful “Fundraiser to Benefit the Sichuan Earthquake Province Relief Efforts” raised subsequent funds for the Red Cross Society of China Sichuan Province, a charitable organization on the front lines of the region’s restoration and relief efforts.  During Roseman’s subsequent trips to the area, he has focused heavily on giving back to the survivors in numerous ways; donating laptops and school supplies to a middle school completely demolished by the earthquake, investing in local businesses, and participating in donation ceremonies to bring attention to the area’s plight.

The U.S. Doctors for Africa charitable organization recognized Adam Roseman of ARC China Inc at their annual gala benefit. USDFA is a non-profit organization which believes that health care should be accessible to all, regardless of historical chance or geographical circumstance. The first priority of US Doctors for Africa is to offer immediate aid for the people of Africa and then to empower the African peoples themselves to respond to and solve the health care crisis that they are faced with today. With the support of foundations such as ARC China Foundation, USDFA is able persue its mandate to service and help the people of Africa.

The ARC China Foundation has been established by ARC China Inc. to support  a large array of charitable organizations around the world. These organizations, supported by Adam Roseman and other executives at ARC China Inc. are funded by the Foundation through the addition of 5% of the total equity allocated to ARC China and its employees for every transaction undertaken. The fund is then able to  distribute generously to the following benefectors:  Red Cross Society of China, Clinton Global Intiative, U.S. Doctors for Africa, Habitat for Hunanity, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and many others.
