  • 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.

  • Private Equity Buyouts in Healthcare: Who Wins, Who Loses? Eileen Appelbaum and Rosemary Batt Working Paper No
    Private Equity Buyouts in Healthcare: Who Wins, Who Loses? Eileen Appelbaum* and Rosemary Batt† Working Paper No. 118 March 15, 2020 ABSTRACT Private equity firms have become major players in the healthcare industry. How has this happened and what are the results? What is private equity’s ‘value proposition’ to the industry and to the American people -- at a time when healthcare is under constant pressure to cut costs and prices? How can PE firms use their classic leveraged buyout model to ‘save healthcare’ while delivering ‘outsized returns’ to investors? In this paper, we bring together a wide range of sources and empirical evidence to answer these questions. Given the complexity of the sector, we focus on four segments where private equity firms have been particularly active: hospitals, outpatient care (urgent care and ambulatory surgery centers), physician staffing and emergency * Co-Director and Senior Economist, Center for Economic and Policy Research.

We thank Andrea Beaty, Aimee La France, and Kellie Franzblau for able research assistance. room services (surprise medical billing), and revenue cycle management (medical debt collecting). In each of these segments, private equity has taken the lead in consolidating small providers, loading them with debt, and rolling them up into large powerhouses with substantial market power before exiting with handsome returns. https://doi.org/10.36687/inetwp118 JEL Codes: I11 G23 G34 Keywords: Private Equity, Leveraged Buyouts, health care industry, financial engineering, surprise medical billing revenue cycle management, urgent care, ambulatory care.

  • Unpacking Private Equity Characteristics and Implications by Asset Class
    Unpacking Private Equity Characteristics and Implications by Asset Class www.mccombiegroup.com | +1 (786) 664-8340 Unpacking Private Equity: Characteristics & implications by asset class The term private equity is often treated as a catchall, used interchangeably to describe a broad variety of investments. Such loose use of the phrase fails to capture the range of nuanced business ownership strategies it refers to and risks branding an entire asset class with characteristics and implications that are typically relevant to only a particular sub-category. Recently, this has especially been the case given the outsized global attention placed on the leveraged buyout deals of Bain Capital, a private equity firm founded by Republican U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney. In this context, popular discourse has inappropriately attached the label of private equity to a general practice of debt-fueled corporate takeovers that disproportionately focus on cost cutting. In reality, however, private equity refers to an array of investment strategies each with a unique risk-return profile and differing core skillsets for success. This article is intended to help family office executives better understand the nuances of the various sub-categories of private equity. It seeks to draw high-level distinctions, serving as a practical guide for investors entering the private equity arena, be it directly or through a more curated fund structure. Ultimately by understanding the characteristics and implications of each asset class, the reader should be equipped to make an educated choice regarding the most relevant and appropriate strategy for their unique profile. From a technical perspective, private equity is nothing more than making investments into illiquid non-publicly traded companies— i.e.

  • Private Equity Primer
    MEKETA INVESTMENT GROUP PRIVATE EQUITY PRIMER OVERVIEW This primer describes the asset class commonly known as Private Equity. It attempts to answer the types of questions Trustees would be likely to ask when considering an investment in this area. Historically, private equity investments have often been grouped in a larger category of investments called alternative investments. Alternative investments were defined to be any investments other than publicly traded stocks and bonds. In addition to private equity investments, alternatives often included real estate, hedge funds, portfolio insurance schemes, trading and arbitrage programs, long/short portfolios, and various derivative-based programs. This primer is limited to private equity investments, which Meketa Investment Group defines to be investments in companies that are privately owned. Further, this primer only describes the characteristics of the asset class itself. It does not suggest a target allocation to the asset class, nor does it specify how to implement an investment program in private equities. These issues are client specific and must be addressed by the decision-makers in each group. WHAT IS PRIVATE EQUITY? Private equity investments are simply investments in privately held companies. Private equity investments are generally structured in the form of partnerships that usually consist of ten to twenty equity investments in individual companies. Like investments in publicly traded common stocks, investments in private equity funds provide long-term investors with stakes in generative assets (i.e., equity positions). However, unlike publicly traded stocks, private equity funds are not priced daily by a market. Thus, the apparent price volatility is lower and the interim return correlation to public equities is subdued.

  • Private Equity Coinvestment
    Private equity coinvestment David Greene Amy Rigdon Latham & Watkins LLP This is an extract from the chapter ‘Private equity coinvestment’ by David Greene and Amy Rigdon in Global Investment Funds: A Practical Guide to Structuring, Raising and Managing Funds, published by Globe Law and Business. As the name implies, ‘coinvestment’ involves participation alongside a core investment programme (referred to in this chapter as the ‘main fund’). While coinvestment is in a sense subordinate to the applicable ‘main fund’, it has grown into a regular feature of the private equity marketplace, with its own set of evolving norms and practices that can be assessed as a distinct category of private equity activity. The typical private equity investment for an investor involves a capital commitment to a blind-pool private equity fund, or ‘main fund’. Although investors typically hold certain customary protective rights – either individually or as a group – in their capacity as limited partners or other non-controlling participants, investment selection and management responsibilities are generally the province of the private equity fund manager (the sponsor). Fund investors are obligated to participate in each investment made by the main fund, subject to customary excuse remedies. In contrast, coinvestment represents an alternative to the typical committed- capital private equity fund structure. As coinvestors, participants can play an active role as investors in the deal selection and portfolio construction process. Many sponsors also see value in offering coinvestment opportunities, in view of the potential relationship-building and other benefits for the sponsor. Coinvestment is, as a result, an increasingly common part of the private equity marketplace.
