An Introduction to Private Equity-PISCES Platform

Course Overview

The top four Private Equity Managers quietly oversee $1trn of Investor monies. The ‘Dry Powder’ ready & available to put to work is at record levels. These are the Funds which have already backed some of the most successful privately held business of a generation & will ultimately be looking for Exits. This course will offer the opportunity to look ‘under the bonnet’ at how it all works. 

 

  • Private Equity Fund structures; Fees & Hurdle Rates
  • Investor attitudes to Private Equity as an Asset Class
  • Venture Capital investing – ‘Pre’ & ‘Post’ Money Valuations. Things to avoid
  • Public to Private – Leveraged Buyouts
  • Exits & targeted rates of Return
  • Who is populating the IPO Pipeline? A look at the membership of the ‘Unicorn’ Club
  • For the future – PISCES (Private Intermittent Securities & Capital Exchange Systems), LSEG’s Private Markets initiative.

Learning Outcomes

This program will offer an insight into an industry, which, by its very nature, retains a discreet ‘off the radar’ profile. Without the glare of Public Markets these Money Managers quietly manage they’re not inconsiderable fire-power. How exactly has typically remained something of a mystery.
