English|MSA Capital Emerges as a Top Investment Firm in Asia with Unique Values

2021 was a great year for MSA Capital. The venture capital firm was nominated by the Private Equity International (PEI) as the Firm of the Year in China, the Frontier Markets Firm of the Year, the Exit of the Year and two other major awards for its successful investments in IPOs of emerging companies like Boss Zhipin (NASDAQ: BZ) and Yidu Tech (HKG: 2158) last year.
MSA Capital’s MSA Fund 1 ranked first in Asia in Q2 2021 in venture capital performances compared with other funds that were set up in 2015, according to statistics from international data firm Preqin.
MSA Capital has not even disclosed all of its data, the firm’s founder and managing partner Zeng Yu said.
Despite the unstable investment environment caused by the resurging pandemic and government on the tech and education sector, MSA Capital continued to pour cash in investments. According to open information, MSA Capital invested in over 20 projects in 2021, over half of which went to the biotechnology sector. Zeng believes that the biotechnology investment sector is still in its early phase and boasts huge potential. MSA Capital may have the chance to be one of China’s first GPs (General Partner) to go global.
From Zeng’s perspective, MSA Capital’s success lies in the team’s ability to work together, consistently learn new knowledge and make the right judgments.

MSA Capital's founder and managing partner Zeng Yu
A venture capital driven by a unique value systemAs a member of the organizing committee of the Future Forum, Zeng and her MSA Capital pay close attention to cutting-edge technology. MSA Capital often organizes internal seminars and invites scientists to brief the team about their work. MSA Capital will engage in discussions with the scientists on the cutting-edge research they conduct and brainstorm ideas that can be useful for guiding investments. MSA Capital aims to develop more understanding of advanced science and technology and future business models in this way.
For instance, MSA Capital invited Professor Ding Hong who studies topological quantum computation in the Institute of Physics of China Academy of Sciences to share his insights into advanced science on December 6, 2021. MSA Capital’s investment managers and the board manager all attended the seminar, in hopes of finding the next investment direction.
“MSA Capital is like a study group,” Zeng said. “We wish to discover new ideas through constant learning. The information we acquire helps us understand specific sectors. Such knowledge can also help us understand company founders and business models better, which allows us to make investment decisions.” Zeng thinks highly of the future of AI, 5G, big data and biotechnology.
MSA Capital currently manages over US$2 billion, specializing in startup companies and long-term investments in healthcare, cutting-edge technologies, Internet and lifestyle. MSA Capital has invested in emerging Chinese companies like Boss Zhipin, BGI, NIO, Meituan, Yidu Cloud and Birentech.
“I have known Zeng Yu for some time. MSA Capital’s operation style appealed to me when we were doing some projects together,” Feng Jiawu, MSA Capital’s investment director of biotechnology said, recalling why he decided to join the team. “MSA Capital was willing to make investments in companies that were still in their early stage. It also had projects of high quality. Our understanding of the market and investment matches.”
Before joining MSA Capital, Feng served as the director of Beijing E-Town International Investment & Development’s Enterprise Development Department and director of the company’s Risk Management Department.
