Ping An Freezes US Private-Market Commitments for 1 Year as Tariff Unease Persists
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 22
Summary
Ping An Insurance has kept new US private-market investments on hold for the past year, extending a freeze that began after Washington’s April 2025 tariff moves.
April 2025 tariff announcements by President Donald Trump triggered the halt, and people familiar with the matter said the insurer still has not resumed making new commitments.
The prolonged pause signals that trade-policy uncertainty continues to weigh on Chinese investors’ appetite for US private assets well beyond the initial tariff shock.
