September 2017 ist unser langjähriges SECA Vorstandsmitglied Björn Böckenförde aus einem erfüllten und glücklichen Leben gerissen worden. Wir sind sehr, sehr traurig. In Björn haben wir einen Kollegen und Freund verloren, der mal mit Charme, mal mit Humor und auch mal mit Wucht sich für seine Sache eingesetzt hat. Björn hatte ein feines Gespür, zwischen Visionen und realistischen Schritten zu unterscheiden. Er hat als Leader im Chapter Private Equity die Anlageklasse immer mit einem inneren Feuer und tiefer Überzeugung vertreten. Wir vermissen dich, Björn! Beyond myths: Why Swiss pension funds should embrace private equity investing 1 percent is the symbolic share of assets that Swiss pension funds allocated to private equity in 2016, on average, meanwhile it is a tiny little bit more. Why such a reticence to invest more? We refute five spurious myths preventing a serious allocation. Authors are Cyril Demaria (Head of Private Markets at Wellershoff & Partners, Zurich) and Maurice Pedergnana (Secretary General of the Swiss Private Equity and Corporate Finance Association SECA). read more SECA Training Romandie Cycle de sept formations inter-entreprises dédiées au capital investissement (private equity) La SECA (Swiss Private Equity and Corporate Finance Association) et l’AFIC (Association Française des Investisseurs pour la Croissance) se sont associées pour offrir un cycle de formations et permettre la montée en compétences des professionnels du capital-investissement (private equity) en Romandie.

More information and registration SECA Event: R&W Insurance - A Means to Bridge the Gap between Buyer and Seller Monday, 6 November 2017, Impact HUB Geneva One of the most important steps in the sales and purchase process is the risk allocation between the contracting parties, i.e. buyer and seller. M&A advisors offer a number of tools to support the parties in this process. Sometimes, however, the distinct assess-ment of identified or potential risks becomes a deal breaker between the parties. R&W insurance policies offers buyers and sellers a powerful tool to enable them to mitigate and improve risk as they enter into deals, giving protection against a wide range of losses resulting from these unknown risks. This event is of relevance for senior management of Private Equity firms, family offices, M&A firms, Corporate M&A, M&A Lawyers and other advisors supporting M&A transac-tions.

Medienmitteilung Patrick Wegmann, Lebensretter aus Zufall Gute Ideen muss man nicht selbst haben, man muss sie aber erkennen und zugreifen, falls sie verfügbar sind. Dr. Patrick Wegmann entdeckte das Dietiker KMU Lifetec mit einem interessanten Produkt – einem integrierten Defibrillator – und sah darin grosses Potenzial, schrieb Werner Grundlehner in der NZZ vom 4.9.17. Nach dem erfolgreichen Verkauf der Software-Firma Avanon, die Wegmann mitgegründet hatte, suchte er fünf Jahre nach einem neuen Projekt im Software-Bereich. Mit Lifetec stiess er auf eine Firma, die Medtech mit Software verband. «Software ist als Code allein nie werthaltig, sondern wird erst in Kombination mit einem Gerät eine Dienstleistung», sagt Wegmann, der den Verwaltungsrat präsidiert. Er glaubt daran, dass es begabte Unternehmer gibt, denen es leichterfällt, eine Firma auf die Beine zu stellen, als anderen. Er würde aber empfehlen, sich nicht zu weit weg von den eigenen Kernkompetenzen zu bewegen und Geschäftsmodelle zu verfolgen, die man bereits kenne. In Bezug auf Lifetec müsse man kein Arzt sein, um den Ablauf und das Vorgehen der Rettungsmassnahmen zu verstehen. Quelle: NZZ, 4.9.2017 Ebner hält nun Mehrheit an der Myriad Group Im Rahmen einer Kapitalerhöhung hat der bisherige Hauptaktionär Patinex, das Finanzvehikel von Martin und Rosmarie Ebner, die Mehrheit an der Softwarefirma Myriad Group erworben. Der Financier verfügt über eine Beteiligung von 61,4%. Durch die Placierung von gut 37 Mio. neuen Aktien zu je Fr. 0.50 flossen dem Unternehmen brutto 18,7 Mio. Fr. zu, das Ebner möglichst bald von der SIX Swiss Exchange zurückziehen will. Seit diesem Frühling hat sich der Unternehmenswert der hohe Verluste ausweisenden Myriad auf 85 Mio. Fr. halbiert. Novartis takes stake in XOMA On 05/09/17 it was announced that on 24/08/17 Novartis Pharma AG has acquired 539,131 shares of XOMA Corporation, a Berkeley, California-based antibody biotherapeutics research and development services provider, representing a 6.6 per cent stake. Based on the closing share price of USD 7.94 on 23/08/17, the last trading day prior to the completion, a deal value of approximately USD 4.3m can be estimated.
