  • 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.

By Beth Healy and Matt Rocheleau GLOBE STAFF APRIL 16, 2015 There are two chestnuts that drive Bain Capital partners crazy: First, the notion that they are ruthless capitalists who enjoy firing people. Second, that they are all card-carrying Republicans. Fifteen long years since Mitt Romney left the Boston investment firm he founded, those old impressions still rankle. Enter Deval Patrick, former Massachusetts governor and a Democrat closely aligned with President Obama, named this week a Bain managing director who will focus on “social impact” investing. The newest Bain employee — and the public spirit implied by his new job — would seem to contradict the firm’s old image. But current and former partners, and close observers of the firm say Bain Capital is more of a big tent than many might think.

  • Financial Services & Technology
    Leadership Newsleter Financial Services & Technology Fall 2015 GTCR Firm Update Since the firm’s inception in 1980, GTCR has partnered with management teams to build and transform growth businesses, investing over $12 billion in more than 200 companies. In January 2014, we closed GTCR Fund XI, the firm’s largest fund to date, with $3.85 billion of limited partner equity capital commitments. To date, we have made five investments in Fund XI. Financial Services & Technology Group Update GTCR's Financial Services & Technology group has stayed very busy in 2015: with the sale of three porfolio companies, Premium Credit Limited, Fundtech and AssuredPartners; the pending sales of Ironshore and The Townsend Group; and the acquisition by Opus Global of Alacra, a provider of KYC compliance workflow sotware to financial institutions. Industry Viewpoints During the extended bull market since the Great Recession, “fintech” has become one of the hotest segments of the economy in terms of media and investor focus. The space has received intense media atention and an influx of capital from venture capitalists and traditional strategic buyers looking to avoid falling behind the curve. Unlike many industries where wholesale technology changes can quickly upend a traditional landscape, financial services requires a more nuanced evolution of technological progress given heightened regulatory requirements, dependence on human capital and the need for trust in financial markets. Many new entrants in the fintech space (both companies and investors) have focused heavily on the “tech” and less on the “fin.” Unlike many new investors in the space, GTCR sees technology not as a separate subsector but as an integral part of financial services, and we have been investing behind the adoption of technology throughout the industry for over two decades.

  • WARSAW, Poland & BUDAPEST, Hungary
    WARSAW, Poland & BUDAPEST, Hungary--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MCI Group, a leading Central European private equity firm with headquarters in Warsaw (Poland), announced today that their Fund MCI.EuroVentures is selling a portion of its shares in Netrisk, the leading online insurance brokerage in Hungary, to global growth private equity firm TA Associates for EUR 55 million (PLN 235 million). As a result of the partial exit, MCI.EuroVentures (buyout fund of MCI Group) has realized a return on investment of 3.0x CoC and 73% IRR. ● MCI Group, one of the leading investors in the Central and Eastern European (EU-CEE) region, remains an important investor in Netrisk and is retaining a 23.7% stake in the company to actively help build value for the insurtech leader on a larger, regional scale. ● TA Associates and Netrisk’s management will hold 75% and 1.3% of the company’s shares, respectively. ● Minority shareholder AMC Capital IV S.c.Sp., advised by Mezzanine Management, is selling all of its shares in Netrisk. ● TA Associates is one of the most experienced global growth private equity firms, having raised USD 33.5 billion in capital since its founding in 1968, and has a long history of investing in companies focused on the digital economy. ● In addition to sustained organic growth, Netrisk will consider acquisition opportunities in CEE, including online, multi-channel and offline companies involved in the distribution of personal- line insurance products. MCI.EuroVentures invested in Netrisk in 2017. The non-life insurance market in Hungary is estimated at USD 1.8 billion, of which the online channel accounts for more than 20%, which is significantly more than other countries in the region, including Poland.
