As a capital markets specialist, Tso has working relationships with all major investment banks, intermediaries, leading private equity funds and major corporations in China, Europe and the US. He is also well-versed in securities offerings including Reg S/144A offerings, and participated in numerous capital markets fundraising exercises that were “novel” at the time.
