Two Chinese private equity funds are closing in on a deal to buy the asset management arm of Dexia, highlighting the interest of Asian buyers in European financial assets as banks look to restructure in the wake of the financial crisis.

两家中国私募股权基金接近达成收购法国-比利时银行德克夏(Dexia)资产管理部门的交易，此举突显亚洲买家对欧洲金融资产的兴趣。金融危机过后，欧洲不少银行正寻求重组。

If the sale of the business for about €500m is completed, it would mark the last stage of a break-up of the twice-bailed-out Belgo-French bank, one of the biggest European victims of successive financial crises during the past four years.

若这笔大约5亿欧元的交易得到完成，那将标志着两度接受纾困的德克夏的分拆完成最后阶段。该行是过去四年里接二连三的金融危机在欧洲造成的最大受害者之一。

Hony Capital, a Chinese private equity group, has teamed up with GCS Capital, a fund founded by former investment banker Guocang Huan, to buy the business, which has about €80bn under management and clients in 25 countries.

中国私募股权集团弘毅投资(Hony Capital)与博华资本（GCS Capital，由前投资银行家宦国苍创立的一家基金）联手收购德克夏资产管理部门，该部门旗下管理着大约800亿欧元资产，客户分布于25个国家。

The two funds have been selected as Dexia’s preferred bidder, according to people familiar with the situation.
