  • Evaluating Investments in Unlisted Equity for the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (Gpfg)1
    EVALUATING INVESTMENTS IN UNLISTED EQUITY FOR THE NORWEGIAN GOVERNMENT PENSION FUND GLOBAL (GPFG)1 This version: April 5, 2018 Trond M. Døskeland, NHH Per Strömberg, Stockholm School of Economics 1 We would like to thank Kyrre Stensnes, Hans-Jörgen Tranvåg, Adair Morse, David Robinson, Steve Kaplan, Josh Lerner, and Antti Ilmanen for helpful comments and suggestions. We are also grateful to Ludo Phalippou for sharing his data. Erik Stensrud and Laszlo Sajtos provided excellent research assistance. 1 Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide analysis and recommendation to assist the Ministry of Finance in assessing whether the mandate to GPFG should be altered to allow for investments in unlisted equity, or Private Equity (PE) investments. The PE market consists of different segments that differ depending on the types of firms they invest in: venture capital (investing in young companies and startups), growth equity (investing in somewhat more established but fast-growing companies), buyouts (investing in mature companies), and distress (focusing on turnaround situations). Still, the PE model of ownership and governance is quite similar across these segments. The focus of PE investors is on creating real value through active ownership and governance of firms in a way that is difficult to replicate in a public setting. Top PE investors possess unique skills to add real value to the companies they own beyond just financial engineering, and these skills are difficult to acquire and/or imitate. The bulk of PE investment is undertaken by specialized financial intermediaries, PE funds, in which PE fund managers raise capital from institutional investors.
