Ben Cheng Becomes CEO of Youngtimers Following C Capital Acquisition

Youngtimers has announced the appointment of Ben Cheng as its new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Renger van den Heuvel. Cheng will be responsible for steering the company’s strategic direction and driving growth in the wake of its acquisition of C Capital Group.

C Capital, an investment firm founded by Hong Kong billionaire Adrian Cheng, focuses on high-growth companies originating in Asia. Its portfolio includes notable names such as Shein, NIO, XPeng, Lalamove, SenseTime, Agile Robots, and CASETiFY. The acquisition not only involved taking over the investment management company but also included full ownership of Jakota Index Portfolios, a New York- and Tokyo-based firm specializing in index licensing and investment across Japan, Korea, and Taiwan capital markets.

Cheng highlighted plans to extend C Capital’s operations beyond Greater China and the United States, aiming to penetrate broader markets across the Asia-Pacific region and Europe. He further outlined intentions to expand into the Middle East, Singapore, Korea, and Australia, with a focus on delivering long-term value to a diverse range of stakeholders.

With this acquisition and leadership transition, Youngtimers, a Basel-based Swiss-listed specialist in small and mid-cap equities, is well-positioned to advance its global growth and expansion strategy.
