Preqin Private Equity Benchmarks ® are calculated using performance information available from our online Performance Analyst database, the world’s most extensive, transparent database of private equity fund performance. Users of the online database have access to all of the underlying fund performance data used to calculate these benchmarks. With performance for over 5,800 private equity funds, the Performance Analyst online database is regularly updated and fully searchable. Further information can be found at www.preqin.com/pa. All the performance figures used to generate the Preqin Private Equity Market Benchmarks are net position to investor – i.e. all commitments, contributions, distributions, remaining values and IRRs are all based on the net position for the institutional investor before tax but after the management fees and carry of the general partner. The Preqin Buyout Market Benchmark is based on performance data for 736 buyout funds of vintages 1991 to 2011 as of 30th September 2011. Preqin gathers fund returns information from a very wide and diverse range of sources, including public institutions via freedom of information legislations, published reports of a number of listed fund of funds vehicles and GP voluntary contributions. The sheer extent of the data sources that we now use provides many opportunities to crosscheck and verify data for an individual partnership from different sources, and increases our confidence in the data. A growing number of GPs have concluded that it is in their best interests to voluntarily share information on their partnerships: given that many prospective investors are seeing this information, it is better that they should have access to the most current and accurate figures possible. Even where data comes direct from the GP, however, our aim is still to show the net position for LPs, after management fees and carry. We are again very grateful to the significant number of GPs who now share data with us in this way; currently 800 GPs are contributing data on their funds.

  • Takeovers + Schemes Review
    TAKEOVERS + SCHEMES REVIEW 2018 GTLAW.COM.AU 1 THE GILBERT + TOBIN 2018 TAKEOVERS AND SCHEMES REVIEW 2017 demonstrated a distinct uptick in activity for Australian public company mergers and acquisitions. Some key themes were: + The number of transactions announced increased by 37% over 2016 and aggregate transaction values were among the highest in recent years. + The energy & resources sector staged a recovery in M&A activity, perhaps signalling an end to the downwards trend observed over the last six years. The real estate sector made the greatest contribution to overall transaction value, followed closely by utilities/infrastructure. + Despite perceived foreign investment headwinds, foreign interest in Australian assets remained strong, with Asian, North American and French acquirers featuring prominently. Four of the five largest transactions in 2017 (including two valued at over $5 billion) involved a foreign bidder. + There was a material decline in success rates, except for high value deals greater than $500 million. Cash transactions continued to be more successful than transactions offering scrip. Average premiums paid fell slightly. + Regulators continue to closely scrutinise public M&A transactions, with the attendant lengthening of deal timetables. This Review examines 2017’s public company transactions valued over $50 million and provides our perspective on the trends for Australian M&A in 2017 and what that might mean for 2018. We trust you will find this Review to be an interesting read and a useful resource for 2018. 2

  • The Pe & M&A Quarterly
    JUNE 2020 JUNE 2020 | ISSUE 4 THE PE & M&A QUARTERLY Quarterly News, Trends and Developments Off the Record “The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected all sectors in India and across the globe, except a few. Though initially it was expected that the pandemic would end in a few months, it appears that it will continue for a longer period. Many PE firms and strategic investors have paused or deferred or slowed down their investment plans for the next 6 to 8 months. However, there are exceptions in case of a few. The deal making activity in India appears uncertain for the remainder of this year. On the M&A side, domestic deals are being evaluated. It is getting harder to close transactions in view of mismatch in expectations of the seller and buyer. The present situation has forced them to realign their objectives and expectations. In signed deals, material adverse change clauses are being evaluated, and in new deals it is being made as exhaustive as possible to ensure possible exit in case of change in environment. The overall structure of doing deals is going through a change and the focus is shifting to value creation and sustainability. There is a reasonable possibility that towards the end of the year, if we return to some sense of normalcy, there will be a significant increase in M&A and PE activity.” Satish Kishanchandani, Managing Partner FEATURED JUDGEMENT Banyan Tree Growth Capital vs Axiom Cordages Limited and Ors. 1 ISSUE 4 JUNE 2020 LEGAL UPDATES NON-FATF MEMBERS ALLOWED TO REGISTER AS CATEGORY I-FPI SEBI Updates April 07, 2020: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) has relaxed the rules with respect to SNAPSHOT offshore funds seeking to get registered under the • For all relevant COVID-19 relaxations in “properly regulated” Foreign Portfolio Investor (“FPI”) compliances permitted by SEBI, visit our category.
