Helen & Special Partners

Helen & Special Partners

Helen & Special Partners was established by Bing Shi and Zhu Li. The founders built the firm to serve multiple families through coordinated investment management and advisory services. No public disclosure identifies the originating family wealth. The firm allocates across private equity, real estate, hedge funds, private credit and digital assets. Investment stages span angel through growth equity and private equity. Confirmed holdings include the mixed-use project High Mountain and Flowing Water in Shaanxi, the residential development Changan Yipin in Shaanxi, and the commercial asset Central International spanning four Chinese provinces. Geographic reach covers Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Team size and total deployment figures beyond the $1.5 billion AUM estimate remain undisclosed. Additional offices are not listed. The firm maintains relationships with Shanshan Group for asset management and counts Ada Huang as a partner affiliated with the Asian American Insurance & Financial Professional Association and the Million Dollar Round Table. The multi-family office structure allows shared professional resources across client families while maintaining separate mandates. This setup differs from single-family offices by operating explicit external client relationships and from typical asset managers by retaining direct control over real assets and collectibles.
