Two of KKR’s top China dealmakers are leaving to set up their own shop.

David Liu, a partner and head of China at the US-based private equity firm, is planning to leave the company later this year and set up a new China-focused investment firm, KKR said on August 30. He will be joined by Julian Wolhardt, another senior KKR executive focused on China, the firm said.
