NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ROTH Capital Partners (ROTH), www.roth.com, a full service investment bank recognized for providing financing and advisory services to emerging growth companies worldwide, today announced that it will hold its 6^th Annual China Investor Tour from April 6-16, 2011. The 10-day tour will visit operating locations of 35 U.S.-listed Chinese companies. The trip will provide ROTH clients with insight into China’s rapid economic growth and exposure to the country’s business culture and climate. The participating companies represent a variety of sectors, including consumer, education, technology, media, energy, and industrials.

"The current market environment is characterized by a high level of investor skepticism regarding small-cap U.S.-listed Chinese companies. This tour offers investors the opportunity to dig deeply into companies and assess their investment potential and associated risks,” said Mark Tobin, Co-Director of Research at ROTH. “We are pleased that our investors continue to take advantage of the China tour we offer annually, which is an important aspect of many of our clients’ due diligence process and plays a significant role in helping to build more in-depth knowledge of the country, its people, and its economy. We have structured this year’s program to feature companies specifically requested by our institutional clients."

“This event is designed to provide our clients with broad exposure to China’s growing economy and rich culture, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals driving the growth of companies operating within China,” says Byron Roth, CEO of ROTH. “In ten days, we will travel over 5,000 miles within the region and gain exposure to 35 Chinese companies at their facilities in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Liaoning Province, Shandong Province, Jiangxi Province, Jiangsu Province, and Macau.”

Since 2003, ROTH has executed 83 financings in the U.S.-listed China space, raising over $3.1 billion for its China clients, and has significantly increased its market position in funding companies in this sector. ROTH was one of the first U.S. investment banks to focus on financing U.S.-listed Chinese companies. We have maintained a Shanghai Representative Office since 2007 and opened a Hong Kong Office in December 2010. ROTH’s China research team consists of 11 professionals who currently cover over 60 U.S.-listed Chinese companies.
