Gopher Asset Management
Gopher Asset Management began in 2010 as the alternatives platform tied to Noah Holdings. Wang Jingbo and Zhe Yin established the firm to manage capital for affluent Chinese families. The structure grew from fund-of-funds origins into a broader allocator. The firm commits to private equity, real estate, private credit and hedge funds. It runs co-investment SPVs alongside primary fund commitments and secondaries. Geographic reach covers Asia, North America and Europe. Confirmed positions include Petal, Allocate, Kr Space and Lianjia. Gopher US Venture Fund I targets US technology startups while domestic vehicles back real estate projects such as Sandhill Plaza. The team manages 14200 million USD in assets. Additional vehicles include the Noah Public Welfare Foundation established in 2014. Gopher sponsored the Global Black Diamond Summit in December 2025. Service providers comprise Zhong Lun Law Firm for legal work and Deloitte as auditor. Gopher operates a P+S+D model that combines primary fund commitments, secondaries and direct investments. This approach allows seeding of emerging managers in China while participating in pre-IPO opportunities through dedicated co-investment funds.
