John McDonald Restructuring Your Way to a New Tomorrow: The Emerging Trend of “Stapled Secondary” Private Equity Fund Restructurings John McDonald is a partner at Troutman Sanders LLP As funds raised in the 2006–2008 heyday of private equity reach the ends of their 10-year terms, there has been a surge of restructurings of those funds utilizing a “stapled secondary” structure. The widely publicized $1.2 billion restructuring in March 2016 of a 2008 vintage buyout fund managed by private equity pioneer Thomas H. Lee is the latest example of this trend, showing that private equity fund restructurings have become mainstream. In the Lee Equity Partners restructuring, an investment group led by prominent secondaries investor AlpInvest Partners that included Harbourvest Partners, Pantheon Ventures, and the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board purchased the LP interests of existing fund investors for approximately $900 million and committed approximately $300 million in capital to a new fund. Because sponsors face actual or perceived conflicts of interest when restructuring their funds, private equity fund restructurings have attracted the attention of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This article describes the process of private equity fund restructurings, discusses the key considerations involved in restructurings, and provides some action items for sponsors to use to reduce the risk of SEC enforcement action when restructuring their funds.

  • Welcome to the 12Th Annual INSEAD Private Equity Conference
    Welcome to the 12th Annual INSEAD Private Equity Conference INSEAD welcomes you to the 12th Annual Private Equity Conference. The conference, inaugurated in 2003, has become the most successful private equity and venture capital event hosted by a European academic institution. With over 1,500 alumni working in the industry worldwide, INSEAD’s presence in the private equity community is well-recognized. This conference is a gathering amongst leading practitioners, academics and the INSEAD community to debate the forces shaping the private equity industry. We are delighted to host an impressive and diverse group of experienced industry professionals here on INSEAD Europe Campus. Since the financial crisis, one of the strongest trends in private equity has been increased focus on value creation. This year’s theme, “How to achieve alpha in the current environment,” aims to delve into the topic of generating returns through operational change, and assess the implications of this trend for the future of private equity. Our keynote speakers, leveraged buyouts and operational excellence panels will explore the topic of value creation deeper. Beyond value creation, the industry is further being shaped by a number of different dynamics and intense competition. To further develop the main theme, we have lined up a focused range of panels and have assembled a diverse group of outstanding panelists and moderators for you. Our panels will attempt to give an update on the current state in different parts of the industry, such as distressed investing, infrastructure and real assets, emerging strategies and limited partner relationships. The annual conference is organized by student and alumni members of the INSEAD Private Equity Club, Global Private Equity Initiative (INSEAD faculty body focused on research in Private Equity industry), Alumni Relations and Student Life offices.
