--FILE--Levin Zhu Yunlai, the eldest son of former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji and President and CEO of China International Capital Corporation (CICC), attends a forum in Beijing, China, 19 March 2011. One of Chinas top investment banks has taken a step towards going public with China International Capital Corporation preparing the early ground work for an initial public offering to raise capital. Levin Zhu, chief executive of CICC, has commissioned an internal study to look into the possibility of listing, said people familiar with the matter. Mr. Zhu, the princeling son of a powerful former premier, had long rebuffed suggestions that it list, wary of the disclosure requirements. But with the brokerage struggling to keep up with its rivals over the past few years, some in the firm now believe it needs to raise capital to remain in Chinas first tier. Jin Liqun, the new chairman of CICC, raised the possibility of an IPO at a recent town hall for CICC staffers in New York. The board has been mulling the advantages of going public, chief of which would be to have more balance sheet capability.
