Private equity is an important part of national financial strategy. The financial work is designed fundamentally to guard against and defuse financial risks and prevent systemic financial risks. In recent years, the private equity industry has developed rapidly. Up to now, the total size of private equity has exceeded RMB 19 trillion, with the appropriate research on risk management to be enhanced.

Liu Shuwei pointed out in her speech at the Founding Assembly of China Private Equity Risk Management Research Center that with the implementation of the new Securities Law, the reform of the registration system, and the improvement of the quality of listed companies, China's capital market reform was stepping into a "fast lane". As an important part of China's multi-level capital market system, the private equity has ushered in a critical period of transformation and development. To forestall and defuse all kinds of risks effectively and promote the qualitative improvement in the regulated industry development have become the premise and foundation for the innovative development of private equity. Against this backdrop, it is particularly pressing to summarize the occurrence characteristics and handling experience of risk events in the field of private equity and constantly strengthen the investor education.
