Adam Roseman ARC China

In an interview with Fox Business News, Adam Roseman of ARC China was asked to explain a little bit about what he and his investment company is doing in China and what investors can expect from ventures in the Chinese economy. Adam Roseman explained that, “The phenomenal thing specifically for a western investor is to enter the Chinese market and find opportunity after opportunity. (Chinese companies in many cases are) very rapidly growing businesses, growth (even) in the double digits.”

Adam Roseman continued to explain that his investment firm, ARC China, helps these fast growing Chinese companies to incorporate many western style corporate management controls and strategies so that these companies can eventually enter into the realm of public corporations in which private investors can put money into these companies via the stock market.

One way to learn more about a company is to learn about the professionals behind the scenes.  ARC China, where Adam Roseman is the CEO and Founder, includes a team of over 30 professionals.

One such professional is Mr. Byron Sproule, one of the six Managing Directors of ARC China.  Prior to his work with them, Mr. Sproule was a Managing Director at Knox & Co. a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm with a focus on China.  He also worked at JP Morgan as a Senior Vice President and he was a senior banker within the Technology Investment Banking group at Jefferies Broadview.

He has vast experience working on acquisitions, divestitures and mergers of public and private companies and much more.  He holds an MBA from the University of Western Ontario and a B.Sc in Electrical Engineering from Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada.

As the CEO of ARC China, Adam Roseman is entrenched in the business world.  At the same time, he is committed to charitable causes and to helping others both financially and with his time.

When asked about his philanthropic work, Adam Roseman said, ““We measure our success not only by our business results, but by our performance as compassionate people giving back what we can,” Roseman stated. “Philanthropy has evolved beyond check writing to promoting real passion and involvement in charities of choice among all business leaders. Philanthropy is not just about giving money to worthy causes, it is about individual and company participation as local, national and global citizens.”

As ARC China embarks on a significant expansion project, three new Senior Executives have been appointed to the management team. Joining ARC China Holdings Limited will be the Chief Operating Officer Michael Bruck and two new Managing Directors, Byron Sproule and Gordon Chin, Esq. ARC China Holdings, based in Hong Kong and its Shanghai based subsidiary ARC China Inc., is an investment firm which focuses its investment strategies on China’s domestic consumption?oriented high?growth enterprises in developing Tier II and III cities.

All three of the newly appointed ARC China executives will bring to their new positions much experience which they have gained while working in a broad range of sectors throughout Asia, Europe and the United States.

Michael Bruck, the newly appointed COO has over 30 years of international experience in some of the most vital markets in the global arena today, including China, Silicon Valley in California, and Wall Street. Mr. Bruck has founded, operated and nurtured many companies in addition to leading other companies as they grew and developed successfully into the global marketplace.

Mr. Bruck’s previous experience includes CEO of East Broadway Advisors, a financial advisory firm based in Hong Kong. Michael Bruck also was a Managing Director of Tripod Capital, a private equity fund focused on China markets.  He was also Vice President of International Development at Zetera Corporation, a technology company based in the United States, and he was a Managing Director at Nolan Securities Corporation, which is a boutique investment banking firm based in New York for whom he gave advice to companies on the technology and media industries.

In December of 2009, ARC China announced the launch of their RMB private equity platform.  ARC China, with founder and CEO Adam Roseman, partnered with the People Republic of China’s National Development and Reform Commission International Cooperation Center.  In addition, they partnered with the Westly Group, a venture capital firm based in California led by Steve Westly and Mike Dorsey.

This fund management platform includes a collection of RMB funds with local Tier II and Tier III partner in each region and focuses on investments in entrepreneur-owned businesses.  These businesses can expect to receive capital, extra corporate governance, and an international network and institutional management sophistication from the ARC China team.

As Adam Roseman ARC China explains, “ARC China is pleased to announce its partnership with one of the important government entities and a leading venture capital on the rollout of its RMB fund management platform. We believe that with the launch of this fund management platform, we are well positioned to establish our position as a leading investment firm in the highest growth sectors and regions of the PRC, the world’s primary growth engine of the 21st Century.”

The best CEOs in the business have certainly learned how to turn challenges and tragedies into opportunities.  Adam Roseman is no exception.  After surviving an earthquake in the Sichuan province in May of 2008, Adam Roseman explains, “I said to myself that as a result of this tragedy and the fact that I’m OK, I want to do something.”

He renamed a private equity firm that he had founded ARC China, and started to focus on investment opportunities in China’s second and third tier cities.

Roseman explains that today’s secondary and tertiary ranking cities in China are grossly undeserved, mostly since China’s financial distribution channels are still forming.  As CEO of ARC China, Roseman and his firm are bringing their business expertise to help entrepreneurs and their staff in China to see how Western-style corporate governance can benefit their companies.

ARC China has invested $2 million in Wowo, local retail convenience store chain, and have also invested in Capture Advance, a Sichuan based firm that mines iron ore in Malaysia for import to China.

As CEO of private equity firm ARC China, Inc., Adam Roseman has gained extensive insight and experience in the renewable energy sector by working with a number of domestic Chinese companies such as China Energy Recovery, Inc. (OTCBB: CGYV).  China Energy Recovery engages in designing, marketing, licensing, fabricating, implementing, and servicing energy recovery systems.  Its technology captures industrial waste energy to produce low cost electrical power, enabling industrial manufacturers to reduce their energy costs, shrink their emissions footprint, and generate sellable emissions credits.

“As China’s largest trade and investment promotion organization, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade is committed to providing quality services to its member enterprises all over China for their business in trade and investment.  Promoting environmentally-friendly business practices and green industries are important themes in the 21st century’s global economy.  Businesses that adopt green development strategies now will gain a strong edge over industry competitors in the future.  CCPIT is very pleased to be one of the sponsors of today’s conference and provide Fujian businesses with a platform in which they can meet with foreign professionals from the clean energy sector to explore future development and collaboration possibilities.  We are confident that ARC China’s expertise in the clean energy sector, along with its financial services and resources, will serve as a valuable resource for green industry advancement in Fujian,”

said  Mr. Yu Xiaodong, Director General, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT).

A young leader in Los Angeles’ business community, Adam M. Roseman is the CEO and Founder of ARC China, Inc., an international strategic and advisory private equity firm focused on investing in and partnering with domestic Chinese companies that have high growth potential.  Though Roseman’s business ventures make him an international traveler for much of the year, his charitable endeavors allow him to focus efforts on building his home community through his involvement with the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors.

Roseman’s position on the Board of Governors allows him and other community leaders to play an important role in overseeing many aspects of Cedars-Sinai’s Medical Center by providing “vital support to the hospital’s clinical programs, biomedical research, and community outreach.”  The world-renowned Medical Center lives up to its reputation of providing top-notch patient care and pioneering leading-edge research, thanks in part to the Board of Governors’ active participation in fund raising and leadership.

As a generous contributor to multiple research projects ranging from men’s health to orthopedics to oncology, Roseman is a strong advocate for the pioneering of new technologies in the medical field.  He has also been actively involved in the Sports Spectacular annual event to benefit the Cedars-Sinai Medical Genetics Institute and has served as a high-level sponsor in years past.

“I feel honored to have been chosen as a member of Cedars-Sinai’s prestigious Board of Governors.  Making tangible contributions to such a highly-respected organization like Cedars-Sinai is one of the best ways I can think of to invest in the health and wellbeing of our community’s present and future,”

said Roseman.

Adam M. Roseman is young and successful, and he  is particularly accomplished to be involved in the global investments and venture capital  sphere of investment in the Chinese domestic markets.

The Entrepreneur ran an article on twenty businesses run by people who are in their twenties.

The twenty entrepreneurs the article listed included Levi Brooks, Jason Farrel, Val Kolton, Jamie Dietenhofer,  Tim Urban, Julie Novotny, Adam Roseman, Ben Goldhirsh, Mikayel Israyelyan and others.

“Call it the entrepreneurial generation. Those born in 1977 and thereafter–many of whom are in their 20s–are more interested in starting their own businesses, and at younger ages, than any previous generation.
University programs in entrepreneuralism were rare years ago, but today more than 350 colleges and universities have such programs…

“Very few young people today haven’t been touched by a relative or someone close to them losing a job,” said Hank Kopcial, executive director of the entrepreneurial foundation at the National Federation of Independent Business. “Starting your own business is a way to ensure that you will have the decision-making capacity and not be laid off.”
