Combining Banking with Private Equity Investing*
Unstable Equity? * Combining Banking with Private Equity Investing First draft: April 14, 2010 This draft: July 30, 2010 Lily Fang INSEAD Victoria Ivashina Harvard University and NBER Josh Lerner Harvard University and NBER Theoretical work suggests that banks can be driven by market mispricing to undertake activity in a highly cyclical manner, accelerating activity during periods when securities can be readily sold to other parties. While financial economists have largely focused on bank lending, banks are active in a variety of arenas, with proprietary trading and investing being particularly controversial. We focus on the role of banks in the private equity market. We show that bank- affiliated private equity groups accounted for a significant share of the private equity activity and the bank’s own capital. We find that banks’ share of activity increases sharply during peaks of the private equity cycles. Deals done by bank-affiliated groups are financed at significantly better terms than other deals when the parent bank is part of the lending syndicate, especially during market peaks. While bank-affiliated investments generally involve targets with better ex-ante characteristics, bank-affiliated investments have slightly worse outcomes than non-affiliated investments. Also consistent with theory, the cyclicality of banks’ engagement in private equity and favorable financing terms are negatively correlated with the amount of capital that banks commit to funding of any particular transaction. * An earlier version of this manuscript was circulated under the title “An Unfair Advantage? Combining Banking with Private Equity Investing.” We thank Anna Kovner, Anthony Saunders, Antoinette Schoar, Morten Sorensen, Per Strömberg, Greg Udell and seminar audiences at Boston University, INSEAD, Maastricht University, Tilburg University, University of Mannheim and Wharton for helpful comments. -
New Minimum Capital for Commercial Companies
CHEVRON AND YPF ANNOUNCED THEIR INTENTIONS TO DISCUSS A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE FOR THE EXPLORATION OF SHALE RESOURCES IN ARGENTINA Argentina's state-controlled oil company is holding important meetings with California-based Chevron Corp. to share strategies for developing the world's third-largest unconventional oil and gas reserves. YPF CEO Miguel Galuccio is calling his talks with Chevron's Latin America chief Ali Moshiri the first step toward a strategic alliance with Chevron, Latin America's leading private energy investor. He says YPF needs partners with Chevron's power and experience to develop Argentina's shale reserves, which trail only the U.S. and China in potential. The encounter between the two executives did not lead to any specific investment news, but sets the stage for Galuccio's formal presentation next Thursday August 30 of a five-year plan for the company Argentina expropriated from Spain's Grupo Repsol. YPF said Mr Moshiri had expressed interest “in associating with YPF on an unconventional cluster … in Vaca Muerta” and the talks with Chevron were “the first concrete step towards an alliance that will be strategic along the path that YPF’s president and CEO is leading”. Chevron said it would not comment “on any confidential discussions we hold with officials”. Mr Galuccio in June unveiled a taster of his five-year strategic plan that called for investment of $7bn a year to reverse falling production. Partnerships will be key to funding what he called the “ambitious but realistic” plan, which includes drilling 1,000 wells. Argentina is believed to be home to the world’s third-biggest reserves of unconventional oil and gas, largely in the Vaca Muerta formation in the western province of Neuquén. -
