China Renaissance, started by the former Morgan Stanley banker 14 years ago, built its reputation as a consigliere to hot new startups. It advised e-commerce outfit JD.com on a string of deals, including its U.S. initial public offering five years ago. It also helped online-services upstarts Meituan and Dianping merge in 2015. The bank’s own market debut was not a great advertisement for its services, however. An original valuation target of $5 billion wound up at $2.3 billion.
Bao’s shop has suffered accordingly. Fewer and smaller deals mean less fees. China Renaissance’s advisory revenue tumbled 30%, to $52 million, in the first half from the same span in 2018. Rivals including Bank of America and JPMorgan also are focusing more on private sales of securities, which could threaten the boutique’s top spot in Dealogic’s ranking of Chinese tech advisers.
