    VICKERS Venture Partners has raised US$230 million for its fifth fund, more money than it has raised in four other funds since its founding in 2005.

    "I'm very pleased with that," says Finian Tan, the firm's chairman who made his name as the first investor in Chinese search engine Baidu in 2000.

    "We tell investors to judge us on our track record. It's hard to predict the performance of any fund, but we've been pretty consistent over the life of Vickers Venture."
