About

Huarong Rongde (Hong Kong) Investment Management Company is the Hong Kong subsidiary of a joint venture established by China Huarong Asset Management Corporation (one of the “Big Four” asset management companies in China), Deutsche Bank AG, Clearwater Capital and other international financial institutions. Yang Na joined Huarong Rongde in January 2016, but has already made her mark on the company by creating the legal department and establishing a panel of experienced external counsel in different practice areas. In just 12 months, Yang and her legal team have supported Huarong Rongde on a series of deals and investment transactions with a total value of approximately RMB 10bn. Yang is also credited with formulating a full set of internal regulations and rules to cover all aspects of the company’s corporate governance and operational matters. As a member of the company’s investment committee Yang has ‘a very good and balanced relationship with the CEO and senior management’, and is extensively involved in the company’s potential investments. As Huarong Rongde focuses on fixed-income investment, which is interest-rate sensitive, Yang’s strong and thoughtful approach is welcomed internally. She says, ‘I have always suggested the company’s business teams and management carefully conduct the due diligence of every issuer and evaluate each bond that we will invest in to ensure the value of the bonds are worthwhile for the prices that we will pay and the issuers are financially capable for the repayment of the principals and interests’. Prior to her current role, Yang gained 10 years of experience working within leading international law firms, including Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, Jones Day and Hogan Lovells. During her time in private practice, Yang represented Chinese and international clients including Fortune 500 companies, multi-national corporations and state-owned companies on a wide range of issues.
