Im Zusammenhang mit der Finanzmarktkrise hat die Private Equity-Branche einen rasanten Imagewechsel vollzogen. Heute werden Private Equity-Fonds als finanzstarke Investoren wahrgenommen, die Krisenunternehmen vor der drohenden Insolvenz bewahren können. Seine zunehmende Attraktivität verdankt der Private Equity-Markt der verbreiteten Erwartung überdurchschnittlicher Renditen und einer geringen Korrelation insbesondere zum Aktienmarkt. Diese Merkmale konnten bisher jedoch nicht eindeutig nachgewiesen werden; die stark heterogenen Ergebnisse diesbezüglicher Studien gehen dabei u.a. auf uneinheitliche Methoden zur Performancebestimmung und der Berücksichtigung wechselnder Risiken zurück. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt die spezifischen Schwierigkeiten dar, die sich bei der Performancemessung und -analyse in Bezug auf Private Equity-Transaktionen ergeben. Der Autor analysiert, inwieweit eine ganzheitliche Performancebestimmung dennoch möglich und sinnvoll ist. Verschiedene Konzepte und Methoden zur Messung des Erfolges werden hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung für den Private Equity-Sektor beurteilt. Darüber hinaus widmet sich die Studie den Möglichkeiten der Wertgenerierung durch Private Equity-Investitionen und untersucht wesentliche Einflussfaktoren auf deren Performance.

Master's Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1.0, Otto Beisheim School of Management Vallendar, course: Doppeldiplomprogramm WHU Koblenz / EM Lyon, language: English, abstract: Private equity is currently replacing hedge funds as the most observed asset class. And while mutual funds experience a decline of assets under management, buyout funds break all records as far as fund raising is concerned. The attractiveness of buyout funds among investors is often attributed to superior returns and to an allegedly lower correlation with other asset classes. However, buyout fund returns also show superior volatility. In addition to that risk factor, investors must face liquidity and transparency risk. It is common agreement that investors are compensated for the elevated risk through a return premium. This and the cited lower correlation prompt more and more investors to add private equity into their portfolios. The wide-spread opinion of superior private equity performance is backed by several studies. But the analysis of these studies reveal that a number of them employ methodologies which are disapproved of by experts on theoretical private equity performance measurement. Furthermore, some have a one-sided notion of financial performance. Benchmarking, risk and correlation data which are crucial for an overall performance assessment often lack. The analysis of a series of technically appropriate, objective studies shows that private equity has historically outperformed public equity with regard to returns, in Europe more than in the United States (US). What remains unsolved is to which extent this return premium rewards the inherent, additional risk of private equity investments. And what is more certain: the prevalent view on correlation seems to be wrong. Empirical evidence and qualitative analysis speak for high correlation between private equity and the major asset classes. The most important driver for individual fund performance appears to be the quality of fund management. Thereby, specialized teams outperform others. Moreover, specialized funds provide investors better opportunity to diversify their private equity portfolio. Fundraising and investment conditions for private equity funds in France and Germany are favorable, but the accomplishment of superior performance will become harder in the future. The rules of the private equity business are changing as operating leverage has replaced financial leverage as the essential value driver.

Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, European Business School - International University Schloß Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel, language: English, abstract: Private equity companies are seen as high risk investment funds, trying to gain high returns on their investments in a period of around three to seven years. Even if the private equity industry has played an important role in growth or as an external financing source of established companies as well as newly-established companies, private equity investors are not seen as sustainable value creators. In various occasions, private equity funds are even declared as a greedy instrument to earn fast money. In order to analyse whether private equity companies create value in a sustainable way, this study compares the performance of private equity backed initial public offerings (IPOs) with non-private equity backed IPOs. Moreover, it analyses whether private equity backed IPOs outperform the market. This study evaluates the performance of private equity backed IPOs by performing two separate empirical analyses: one focusing on the UK private equity market - the largest private equity market in Europe - and one focusing on the entire European market. The research conducts a quantitative analysis of secondary data, more specifically by using stock prices of private equity backed firms, non-private equity backed firms and applicable benchmark market indices. Such data was obtained from multiple sources, such as the London Stock Exchange, Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance. In general, the study compares the performance of private equity backed IPOs with non-sponsor IPOs with regard to their price development and abnormal returns. The analysis is based on multiple independent analyses of each IPO. In order to provide a general understanding of this issue and to be able to interpret the research results, the paper discusses the theoretical framework and the findings of other authors. In recent decades, several authors have demonstrated their research on private equity based IPOs as well as the value creation of private equity firms. Based upon these, hypotheses are formulated, which are then subsequently tested using multiple research methods. In general, the study indicates that the majority of private equity firms do not create sustainable value. More than 50% of the analyzed private equity backed companies were not able to outperform the market benchmark indices. On average, private equity backed firms were able to significantly outperform the market in the UK. However, they were unable to perform equally well on a European level.

Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, , course: -, language: English, abstract: The European private equity market had achieved a considerable volume until 2008. Reasons for increasing the volume can be seen in the favourable economic development, low inflation and strong competitive pressure on the part of financial intermediaries. These led to falling swap spreads on the financial markets and increased the investors’ risk tolerance. Then, in September 2009, the investment business was depressed. The dreariness in the business with private equity participations or buy-outs could already clearly be read in the half-year figures on the market. The amounts invested also declined by just over one third. Due to a lack of awareness, private equity is still frequently associated with high risk. Investing in an individual company can sometimes be fraught with risk. Since private equity funds work in a highly specialised way and concentrate on specific sectors or industries, the investment in a single private equity fund can also be risky. The risk of default of an umbrella fund with investments in approx. 20 or more target funds, however, is very low due to broad diversification. While additional costs are incurred for the investor for the services provided by the umbrella fund, the expected return is still clearly double-digit, even after subtracting these costs. The average annual return on private equity is regularly 3 to 5% above the average annual yields of stock investments. Recent studies provide evidence that companies that were sold by private equity investors achieved an annual growth in value of 24% to 29% - comparable listed companies managed added value of only nine percent. Private equity investments are investments in not listed companies with a high risk of default, low fungibility and transparency. A higher return on the investments is inevitably necessary – and feasible.

Building on the success of the author’s previous book Beyond the J Curve:Managing a Portfolio of Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds, this work covers new and additional material and offers advanced guidance on the practical questions faced by institutions when setting up and managing a successful private equity investment programme. Written from the practitioner’s viewpoint, the book offers private equity and venture capital professionals an advanced guide that will make high return targets more realistic and sustainable. Factors that can sometimes cause institutions to shy away from venture capital are the industry’s opaque track record, unclear valuations and risks, perceived lack of transparency as well as the significant entry barriers to overcome before tangible results show. These issues are all addressed in details with practical solutions to the problems. Among other topics J-Curve Exposure includes discussions of: Experiences with the adoption of the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines to address fair value under IFRS. Approaches for splitting and prioritizing distributions from private equity funds. Techniques for track record analysis and other tools to help limited partners in their due diligence. Approaches to dealing with uncertainty, the relevance of real options, and co-investments and side funds as advanced portfolio management techniques. Questions related to limited partner decision making fallacies and how to manage portfolios of VC funds. Securitization backed by portfolios of investments in private equity funds. Real life case studies illustrate the issues relevant for the practitioner.

“Private equity is more economically significant than ever, as institutions hunt for high returns in a risky world. Private Equity 4.0 examines the role, workings and contribution of this important industry in a straightforward yet revealing manner.” Dr. Josh Lerner Jacob H. Schiff Professor of Investment Banking Chair, Entrepreneurial Management Unit Harvard Business School A multi-perspective look at private equity's inner workings Private Equity 4.0 provides an insider perspective on the private equity industry, and analyzes the fundamental evolution of the private equity asset class over the past 30 years, from alternative to mainstream. The book provides insightful interviews of key industry figures, and case studies of some of the success stories in the industry. It also answers key questions related to strategy, fund manager selection, incentive mechanisms, performance comparison, red flags in prospectuses, and more. Private Equity 4.0 offers guidance for the many stakeholders that could benefit from a more complete understanding of this special area of finance. Understand the industry's dominant business models Discover how value is created and performance measured Perform a deep dive into the ecosystem of professionals that make the industry hum, including the different incentive systems that support the industry's players Elaborate a clear set of guidelines to invest in the industry and deliver better performance Written by a team of authors that combine academic and industry expertise to produce a well-rounded perspective, this book details the inner workings of private equity and gives readers the background they need to feel confident about committing to this asset class. Coverage includes a historical perspective on the business models of the three major waves of private equity leading to today's 4.0 model, a detailed analysis of the industry today, as well as reflections on the future of private equity and prospective futures. It also provides readers with the analytical and financial tools to analyze a fund's performance, with clear explanations of the mechanisms, organizations, and individuals that make the system work. The authors demystify private equity by providing a balanced, but critical, review of its contributions and shortcomings and moving beyond the simplistic journalistic descriptions. Its ecosystem is complex and not recognizing that complexity leads to inappropriate judgments. Because of its assumed opacity and some historical deviant (and generally transient) practices, it has often been accused of evil intents, making it an ideal scapegoat in times of economic crisis, prodding leading politicians and regulators to intervene and demand changes in practices. Unfortunately, such actors were often responding to public calls for action rather than a thorough understanding of the factors at play in this complex interdependent system, doing often more harm than good in the process and depriving economies of one of their most dynamic and creative forces. Self-regulation has clearly shown its limits, but righteous political interventions even more so. Private equity investment can be a valuable addition to many portfolios, but investors need a clear understanding of the forces at work before committing to this asset class. With detailed explanations and expert insights, Private Equity 4.0 is a comprehensive guide to the industry ways and means that enables the reader to capture its richness and sustainability.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,0, Universität Leipzig (Finanzanalyse), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wie kaum ein anderer Bereich befindet sich die Finanzdienstleistungsbranche weltweit in einem Prozess der Neuorientierung. Im Zuge dieser Umgestaltung wurden alternative Anlagen wie Private Equity, Venture Capital und Hedge Funds für risikofreudige, aber gleichzeitig auch performancebewusste Anleger immer attraktiver. Seit ihren Ursprüngen in kleinen Investment Pools in den 60er und 70er Jahren entwickelten sich Private Equity (PE) und Venture Capital (VC) Finanzierungen zu einer Mainstream Asset-Klasse und werden ein immer bedeutenderer Teil vor allem von institutionellen und in zunehmendem Maße auch von privaten Portfolios. Private Equity ist sowohl begrifflich als auch inhaltlich eine Erweiterung von Venture Capital. Während Venture Capital die Finanzierung von Frühphasenunternehmen beinhaltet, integriert Private Equity zusätzlich Elemente aus benachbarten Finanzierungsarten wie Mezzanine Capital, Buyout Capital oder Restructing Capital. Im Gegensatz zum Public Equity sind PE und VC Finanzierungen zeitlich limitierte Beteiligungen an nicht börsennotierten Unternehmen. Da für nicht an einer Börse gelistete Unternehmensanteile kein Sekundärmarkt existiert, sind die Beteiligungsanteile relativ illiquid und damit langfristig. Für PE und VC Beteiligungen existieren keinerlei Marktpreise und nur vereinzelt Vergleichsmöglichkeiten anhand ähnlicher Transaktionen. Konzepte zur Performancemessung aus anderen Anlagekategorien, wie beispielsweise Aktien, sind deshalb nicht oder nur eingeschränkt anwendbar. Diese Konzepte haben sich seit den grundlegenden Arbeiten von Markowitz, Jensen und Sharp in den 60er Jahren zu einem Standard der kapitalmarkttheoretischen Messung der Aktien-Performance entwickelt. Die Performance ist die Abweichung der Rendite einer Kapitalanlage von einem zugrunde gelegten Benchmark. Für eine Beurteilung des erzielten Erfolges sollte neben der Rendite das dabei eingegangene Risiko, als eine zweite Dimension, Berücksichtigung finden. Erschwert wird ein risikoadjustierter Vergleich des Erfolges durch die Vielzahl unterschiedlichster Methoden zur Rendite- und Risikoquantifizierung. Werden die Probleme der traditionellen Performancemessung von Aktienportfolios um die Kapitalmarkteigenschaften von Private Equity und Venture Capital ergänzt, entsteht eine starke Intransparenz des gesamten Marktes für Beteiligungsfinanzierung.

In recent times, venture capital and private equity funds have become household names, but so far little has been written for the investors in such funds, the so-called limited partners. There is far more to the management of a portfolio of venture capital and private equity funds than usually perceived. Beyond the J Curve describes an innovative toolset for such limited partners to design and manage portfolios tailored to the dynamics of this market place, going far beyond the typical and often-simplistic recipe to 'go for top quartile funds'. Beyond the J Curve provides the answers to key questions, including: Why 'top-quartile' promises should be taken with a huge pinch of salt and what it takes to select superior fund managers? What do limited partners need to consider when designing and managing portfolios? How one can determine the funds' economic value to help addressing the questions of 'fair value' under IAS 39 and 'risk' under Basel II or Solvency II? Why is monitoring important, and how does a limited partner manage his portfolio? How the portfolio's returns can be improved through proper liquidity management and what to consider when over-committing? And, why uncertainty rather than risk is an issue and how a limited partner can address and benefit from the fast changing private equity environment? Beyond the J Curve takes the practitioner's view and offers private equity and venture capital professionals a comprehensive guide making high return targets more realistic and sustainable. This book is a must have for all parties involved in this market, as well as academic and students.
