I'm hardly an expert in Asian markets, but I'm not sure that the Chinese and Japanese markets can be lumped together into one category. It seems that a likely explanation for KKR's (and many other such firms) disappointing results in Japan is not a fundamentally poor environment for PE, but potentially a lack of receptiveness, possibly coming from a considerable economic turndown and the resulting aversion to furthered job losses (as may be the result of productivity measures by PE group). China, however, doesn't face the same issue. It would appear that in terms of potential for PE, China may be in a different league than Japan, especially with the freeing up of markets. Just some (admittedly Jim Rogers-inspired) thoughts...

Can someone tell me what ECM and DCM stand for? I'm guessing it's something capital markets? What does it mean?

Is there a website out there that lists out the terminology and terms that are often used in the PE circle?
