TEZE DIPLOMOVÉ PRÁCE Termín státní zkoušky: Letní semestr 2007/2008 Autor diplomové práce: Bc. Petra Sedláková Vedoucí diplomové práce: Prof. Ing. Michal Mejstřík, CSc. Téma: Předpokládaný budoucí vývoj akvizičních aktivit finančních investorů a českém trhu Charakteristika tématu Přelom tisíciletí byl v České republice ve znamení fúzí a akvizicí. Zatímco předchozím rokům dominovaly tzv. strategické akvizice, tedy převzetí podniku za účelem jeho rozvoje a využití růstových příležitostí, v současné době se začínají dostávat do popředí akvizice finanční neboli spekulativní. Při nich se tuzemští finanční investoři zaměřují na střednědobé projekty s jasnými kritérii, tj. stávají se standardními private equity fondy. Tyto fondy postupují tak, že podnik koupí, restrukturalizují a v horizontu 3–7 let opětně za účelem dosažení zisku prodají. Neuvažují dlouhodobě, ale spekulativně. Proto jsou schopné akceptovat vyšší rizika, a tudíž nabídnout vyšší cenu než strategický investor. Ve své diplomové práci bych se chtěla zaměřit právě na private equity fondy v České republice, a to od počátku jejich působení na našem trhu, přes současnost, až k možným scénářům budoucího vývoje.

  • EFG Hermes and Qinvest Enter Into a Definitive Agreement to Create the Leading Investment Bank in the Arab World and Beyond
    EFG Hermes and QInvest Enter into a Definitive Agreement to Create the Leading Investment Bank in the Arab World and Beyond Cairo May 5, 2012: EFG Hermes Holding S.A.E (“EFG Hermes”) and QInvest L.L.C. (“QInvest”) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement involving EFG Hermes’ Brokerage, Research, Asset Management, Investment Banking and Infrastructure Fund businesses (the “Business”). Pursuant to the agreement, EFG Hermes and QInvest will enter into a joint venture at the level of EFG Hermes Qatar LLC (“EFG Hermes Qatar” or the “JV Company”), to be 60% owned by QInvest and 40% owned by EFG Hermes. The JV Company shall be the entity holding the Business post-closing. This announcement follows the initial press release on March 26, 2012, when the two parties agreed to explore a potential strategic alliance with the aim of creating a leading investment bank with operations in the Arab world and beyond, comprehensively covering the Middle East, Africa, Turkey and South and South East Asia. EFG Hermes’ position as the largest provider of investment banking, asset management and brokerage services across the Arab world will be strongly complemented by QInvest’s financial strength and client base. The aim will be to offer an enhanced product offering to QInvest’s extensive corporate and private client base in Qatar and the GCC region and to use the combined platform and resources to expand the joint venture’s reach into the fast growing regions of Sub-Saharan Africa and South and South East Asia. QInvest’s clients will benefit through the developed platform of EFG Hermes from direct access to the investment bank’s services in markets across the Arab world, as well as to trading platforms on the major Arab exchanges.

    MORE THAN BRICKS AND MORTAR Infrastructure-as-asset-class: Financing development or developing finance? A Critical Look at Private Equity Infrastructure Funds1 by Nicholas Hildyard The Corner House2 1 Sources for further information, including hyperlinks, have been given throughout this report where possible. Website addresses were correct at the time of writing. Please notify The Corner House of any broken link: enquiries AT thecornerhouse.org.uk 2 The author would like to thank Isabella Besedova, Theodoros Chronopoulos, Peter Frankental, Jutta Kill, Tom Lines, Larry Lohmann, Doug Norlen, Sarah Sexton, Antonio Tricarico and Beck Wallace for their invaluable comments on early drafts of this paper. 1 “When the capital development of a country becomes the by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done.” John Maynard Keynes, General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, 1936 “The last quarter century of ‘deregulation’ involved the introduction of a vast array of new legal mechanisms and regulations by national governments to protect the interests of investors and shareholders. This must be dismantled; and new legal mechanisms and regulations must be introduced nationally to subordinate investment capital to democratic requirements established in international human rights standards.” Peter Rossman and Gerard Greenfield, Financialization: New Routes to Profit, New Challenges for Trade Unions, 20061 Introduction Political discourse is often conducted in code. Where policy proposals or actions are likely to engender strong opposition or cause affront to the public, euphemisms are used (“collateral damage” for “dead civilians”, “land disturbance” for “mining”, “environmental enhancement” for “canalising rivers”)2 or concepts are employed that direct the conversation elsewhere.

  • Financing Environmental Investments in Croatia
    Financing Environmental Investments In Croatia March, 2002 EURASIAN-AMERICAN PARTNERSHIP FOR ECOLINKS ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIES Financing Environmental Investments in Croatia Introduction The primary purpose of this study is to assess the financing prospects for grantees of USAID's EcoLinks Partnership Grants Program. In the private sector, these grantees are typically SMEs that are seeking financing to purchase environmental equipment that will improve both their environmental performance and operating efficiency. Their investment needs range from $50,000 to $2 million. The study is also relevant to other SMEs and many larger companies in Croatia that will eventually need to invest in environmental improvements in order to comply with EU standards and avoid environmental fees and penalties. At present environmental regulations are not strictly enforced in Croatia, and there are limited market incentives to improve environmental performance. During February 11-22,2002, the study team interviewed representatives of commercial banks, venture capital funds, multilateral financing institutions and Croatian government agencies to identify the funds available for environmental financing and any barriers to accessing those funds. Most of these institutions do not have funding programs specifically developed for environmental investments. However, environmental investments for the private sector are usually covered under funding programs for SME development or other special programs, such as programs for export-oriented industries or new technologies. Although the study focuses on the private sector, a brief section is included on the potential for financing environmental investments in the municipal sector. These investments are usually considered under programs for infrastructure development. PART I: Private Sector Financing Sources of Financing Currently, the principal funding sources for environmental investments are multilateral w organizations, commercial banks, venture capital funds and Croatian government entities.

  • THE 2011 RESULTS of the PRIVATE EQUITY and VENTURE CAPITAL INDUSTRY (Budapest, May 15, 2011)
    Dr. Judit Karsai1 THE 2011 RESULTS OF THE PRIVATE EQUITY AND VENTURE CAPITAL INDUSTRY (Budapest, May 15, 2011) The Protracted Crisis Even in 2011, the slowdown caused by the crisis still persisted in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) private equity and venture capital industry. Similarly to Europe as a whole, the first half of 2011 showed signs of recovery; thus, investments and exits of significant value were made in the region. However in the middle of the year, a new wave of the European debt crisis broke the upwards trend. In 2011, the region again represented nearly 3% of European investments; however, the increase in the volume of capital committed for the purpose of investments here in the region reached only one tenth of the European dynamic which signifies the deterioration of the region’s competitive position. However in terms of exits of investors from portfolio companies, the region improved its position in Europe as a result of some very high-value exits; the share of local divestitures rose to 4.5%. In 2011, the Hungarian private equity and venture capital market regained its earlier second position in terms of volume of investments in the region; moreover, in terms of exit value, it was first in the region. The Hungarian market achieved an outstanding position not only in the region but also Europe-wide due to the launch of the activity of the Jeremie funds. In 2011, it ranked sixth in Europe in terms of the ratio of the value of early stage investments i.e. the venture capital investments functioning in the classic sense of venture capital to the GDP.
