Perspective
Chu began his career on Wall Street in the mergers and acquisitions department at Salomon Brothers. Two years later, in 1990, he joined the then five-year-old Blackstone Group.[3] Over his 25-year career at the firm, he served as a Senior Managing Director and co-chair of Private Equity.[1] He was involved in some of the firm's largest transactions, including the acquisitions of the water-treatment company Nalco Holding Company for over $4 billion and the German-based chemical company Celanese for $3.8 billion.[3] He also oversaw the firm's investments in the healthcare and financial institutions sectors.[1]
Chu departed Blackstone in 2015 to launch his own investment firm, CC Capital.[2] He remained a senior advisor to Blackstone following his departure.[3] Since then, Chu has created at least five special-purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) that struck deals to take a number of companies public, including Getty Images and snack maker Utz Brands.[4]
In 2024, CC Capital agreed to a $250 million investment to create an insurance and asset management firm by combining Arena Investors and a new life insurance business under Westaim Corp.[4]
In January 2025, CC Capital Partners made a A$2.9 billion (US$1.8 billion) takeover offer for Australian wealth manager Insignia Financial Ltd.[5]
