CITIC Capital Partners, the private equity arm of China's biggest State-owned investment firm, has closed its first China investment fund, the company said in a statement yesterday.

CITIC Capital China Partners LP, a privatization and buyout fund, raised US$425 million, the company said. The fund will focus on investments in the consumer products and manufacturing sectors.
