Company History

Open Door was founded in 2011 by veteran Greater China investors. The firm is an investment advisor registered and regulated by SEC.   The Open Door team possesses significant experience and expertise in Greater China Markets,  with  CIO Shifeng Ke and Head of Research Wu Bin having worked together since 1997 and managed The China A Share Fund since 2005. 

Our team has “early-mover” advantage investing in Chinese markets.

In 1997, our core team members were the first foreign investors to access the mainland A-share market by setting up a swap arrangement with China Securities. When the A-share market officially opened-up to foreign investors in 2002, the team member's  five-year track record allowed them to help the first foreign company to set up a specialist A-share fund, as an anchor tenant in the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) quota of UBS, the first investment bank to be approved for QFII.  In 2007, when the A-share market Index topped 6,000, our team members managed funds were the first QFII investors to buy renminbi-denominated corporate bonds to protect client assets.

Our Shanghai team was also early to spot the scale of the opportunity offered by the development of China’s healthcare industry and set up a dedicated healthcare fund in 2008.
