What China Cinda Asset Management does

One of China's four state-owned "bad bank" asset management companies, buying and resolving distressed debt and non-performing loans.

Buys bad loans from banks at a discount and earns the difference as it recovers cash by collecting, restructuring or selling the underlying assets, and it also profits from investing in distressed companies and from financial subsidiaries, including a Hong Kong bank and a securities firm. Set up in 1999 to take over bad loans, it is state-owned with the Ministry of Finance as largest holder.

In one line: China's state-backed answer to a distressed-debt/NPL resolution firm.
