  • Private Equity in Sweden
    PRIVATE EQUITY IN SWEDEN An analysis of the private equity industry in Sweden and two case studies on individual companies’ competitive strategy JOHAN MATTISSON MASTER THESIS LUND UNIVERSITY, 2017 Abstract Private equity is a growing global phenomena and private equity companies have become a major force in many of Sweden’s industries. These companies own portfolio companies which together employs around 190 000 people and have an annual revenue of over 318 billion SEK. The purpose of this thesis was to describe and analyze the Swedish private equity industry and individual companies’ competitive strategy to increase value of portfolio companies and to attract capital. The methodical approach of this thesis was qualitative and abductive. Only public data was used bar the two interviews that was conducted with the case companies. The theoretical framework for the industry analysis was Porters five forces. The case companies were analyzed on the corporate, business and operational levels of strategy. A resource based view was used to further analyze the case companies’ strategic capabilities. The main findings from the industry analysis was that the vast majority of investors in Swedish private equity funds are made by professional institutions and a large amount of the investments were of international origin. The large pool of investors makes it easier for Swedish private equity companies to attract capital. The number of new private equity funds have been declining since 2007 but at the same time the average fund size has grown. There are many differentiating factors between private equity companies. This differentiation is beneficial for the private equity companies as they become less commoditized from the viewpoint of an investor.

  • Private Equity
    Kuwait Financial Centre “Markaz” P R I V A T E E Q U I T Y U P D A T E Private Equity Month End February, 2008 Market Trends Private Equity update: Compiled from various public - The Private Equity market in 2008 has started off slow, with no sources expectation to pick up quickly. The sluggish start was expected for 2008, so this doesn’t come as a surprise to investors. Total leveraged buy-out volume so far in 2008 is down to $34 billion, two-thirds of the volume at this time the previous year. A single mega-deal from 2007 eclipses the total buy-out volume for 2008. While the level of activity has been slow-moving, the industry is still sitting on $820 billion of uncalled capital from investors. The average size of buy-outs this year, $120 million, is the lowest since 2001. - For the average private equity firm, about 38 individuals are employed for every $1 billion of assets under management, and this number decreases to 15 or less at many of the larger firms. With this type of a work force, it will prove influential since $10 billion buy-outs occur daily. However, if the investors deploy the funds across an array of smaller deals, it will result in longer waiting periods, as well as smaller returns. - Investors in the real estate market in 2008 are the most optimistic, due to predictions of higher or the same returns for this year. Investors intend on using the same type of strategy for deals in 2008.

  • Our Credentials and Approach MAY 2021 Our Credentials and Approach
    our credentials and approach MAY 2021 our credentials and approach A new Alternative We launched Avonhurst, an advisory firm dedicated to the interests of sophisticated capital clients, to provide political strategy, legal advisory and capital services and the accompanying deal execution across Europe and beyond. As traditional law firms are focused on the model of billing by the hour in a manner that fails to align their interests with those of their clients, we listened to the concerns of the clients we have represented over the years and have built a new alternative. Rather than stick with the historic model, Avonhurst provides all the traditional legal services required by sophisticated capital but no longer uses the billable hour as the metric for determining value to clients. Instead we provide a blend of fixed fees, retainers and discounted fixed fees, contingent fees and discretionary fees. We are an advisory firm which finally aligns our interests with yours. Our partners and associates all hail from investment banks or top-tier international law firms and have decades of experience working for financial institutions, PE funds, credit funds and other sophisticated investors in high-profile transactions. We are fully aligned with our clients’ need for beneficial outcomes in any transaction and the need to work with all parties to secure these outcomes. Transaction delivery should be a process aimed at co-operation, efficient implementation and risk-allocation and Avonhurst is structured toward those ends. We supplement our base of experts with a targeted use of technology and smart insourcing to deliver efficient and effective services for lenders, borrowers, vendors and purchasers across markets, asset classes and geographies.
