firm wanted to buy into a bank, that was the limit. If you owned more than 25%, you were essentially regulated like a bank. But, they changed the rules to 35% in an effort to bring the PE "smart-money" in from the sidelines, and to have the wealth of PE funds help get the US banking sector through this crisis. But will PE firms jump in? Maybe not. Largely because 35% still is not a controlling interest of 51% like many PE firms want when considering highly risky deals. On the other hand, PE firms looking for opportunities from the crisis, will likely ...

agreeing to an acquisition without itself committing all the capital required for the acquisition. To do this, the financial sponsor will raise acquisition debt which ultimately looks to the cash flows of the acquisition target to make interest and principal payments. Acquisition debt in an LBO is often non-recourse to the financial sponsor and has no claim on other investment managed by the financial sponsor. Therefore, an LBO transaction's financial structure is particularly attractive to a fund's limited partners, allowing them the benefits of leverage but greatly limiting the degree of recourse of that leverage. ...

Thanks greatly to the leadership of Sen. Tim Keller, the State Investment Council has received some much needed reform. No longer will the Governor have a virtual lock on appointments and be able to direct the SIC’s decisions from afar. Already we are seeing new SIC members take a hard look at what had been basic assumptions in the SIC’s mindset. The new State Investment Officer, Steven Moise, is reviewing the rich compensation paid to investment consultants, and negotiating better deals for the state. Keller will be honored for his accomplishment by the Rio Grande ... Read More

In the early years, private equity funds will show low or negative returns. The investment gains usually come in the later years as the companies mature and, with the help of the General Partner , increase in value. The effect of this timing on the fund's interim returns is known as the J-Curve Effect . In the initial years, investment returns are negative due to management fees, which are drawn from committed capital, and under-performing investments that are identified early and written down . It can take several years for the portfolio valuations to reflect the efforts of the General Partners. Over ...

Is it used as a ...
Private equity is a subset of the funds management industry. Private equity firms draw down funds from their investors and use those funds to buy portfolio companies.

The big threat for the sector is consolidation amongst private equity firms who can't sell portfolio companies at a profit and attract new investors (who pay fees) in. Please see ...
