China's State Council General Office has announced new guidelines to regulate "gambling agreements" (对赌协议) in private equity funds. This move aims to bring more clarity and oversight to these investment clauses, which have been a common practice but also a source of issues in the market. The new regulations are expected to shift the focus from strict contractual guarantees to the core competencies of investment institutions, such as market insight, post-investment support, and value discovery.
