Liang Xinjun

Liang Xinjun emerged as one of China’s most influential private-equity veterans through his leadership at Fosun Group, where he served as executive director, vice-chairman and CEO between August 2005 and March 2017. From that vantage, he helped steer Fosun’s ascent as a diversified investment platform spanning insurance, real estate, tourism and industrials, reflecting a buy-side discipline anchored in global deal-flow.

In recent years, Liang has shifted emphasis from large traditional conglomerate building to the next frontier of digital-wealth architecture. In September 2025 he was appointed independent non-executive director of Yunfeng Financial Group Limited—a move that signals his deeper pivot into fintech, Web3, artificial intelligence and cross-border innovation platforms. Now based in Singapore, Liang is also the chairman and CEO of Xin Family, he is repositioning his footprint toward technology-enabled investment and capital flows that transcend the buy-out world he helped pioneer.

What stands out about Liang is the synthesis of private equity rigour—originating from deal origination, value creation and exits—with a frontier outlook embracing digital ecosystems. His evolution reflects a broader generational shift within Asia’s capital markets: from industrial-asset consolidation to building platforms around data, network effects and global liquidity. The Yunfeng appointment will likely deepen his role in designing investment architecture that spans Asia, bridge-funds and new-economy opportunities. For Tatler’s Most Influential list, Liang represents that rare breed of investor who has one foot in legacy private equity and another in the emergent digital-wealth era.
