From NZ Entrepreneur to Global Investor: Leveraging Opportunities in China and Beyond ??

Newsletter #10 | 2 March 2025

Dear LinkedIn Friends,

As we progress through 2025, I'm delighted to share a significant milestone in my entrepreneurial journey. Reflecting our evolving global vision, I've updated my LinkedIn headline and "About" section to highlight my transition from a New Zealand entrepreneur to a global investor and business leader.

?? Global Expansion: Spotlight on China

In the latter half of 2025, we are strategically intensifying our efforts to expand our private equity business through our Stonewood Group headquarters in Hainan, China. Leveraging our exclusive Qualified Domestic Limited Partnership (QDLP) and Qualified Foreign Limited Partnership (QFLP) licenses, we aim to unlock major investment opportunities within the dynamic Chinese market.

Our unique licensing framework provides Stonewood unparalleled leverage, facilitating seamless cross-border investments and enhancing value creation for our global partners and investors.

?? Why Focus on China Now?

China's strategic economic transformation offers an exceptional opportunity for Stonewood Group's expansion. The nation has notably shifted its economic focus from real estate to high-tech manufacturing, becoming dominant in sectors like solar panels, where it now produces around 93% of the global supply. Moreover, China's trade surplus has soared to nearly a trillion dollars annually, comparable to the GDP of countries such as Switzerland or Argentina. To bolster energy security, China is heavily investing in nuclear power, with approximately half of the world's nuclear plants currently under construction located within its borders.

These strategic moves underscore China's dedication to technological advancement and self-sufficiency, aligning seamlessly with Stonewood Group's objectives in renewable energy and high-tech industries. By utilizing our strategic assets and licenses in Hainan, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on China's economic trajectory and achieve substantial growth for our stakeholders.

? Capitalizing on Global Trade Dynamics

Current global trade tensions, predominantly initiated by the United States, present a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Leveraging New Zealand’s neutral standing and strong relationships with China, Stonewood Group is ideally placed to navigate and capitalize on these shifting economic dynamics.

We recognize significant potential to bridge international investment flows, delivering outstanding financial outcomes amidst global uncertainties.

?? Our Vision: Turning Challenges into Opportunities

This is not merely a time of change—it is a defining moment of extraordinary growth potential. Our goal is clear: utilize our established New Zealand presence and deep-rooted connections in China to generate substantial investment returns and foster innovative, impactful partnerships.

?? Invitation to Collaborate

We warmly invite forward-thinking investors, strategic business leaders, and innovative partners to join us in navigating and benefiting from this unprecedented global economic shift. Together, we can build meaningful and profitable collaborations.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and exploring opportunities for collaboration.

Warm regards,

John Chow Entrepreneur | Global Investor | Renewable Energy & Real Estate Innovator [email protected]
