  • Venture Capital Postively Disrupts
    PRIVATE CLIENT SERIES VENTURE CAPITAL POSITIVELY DISRUPTS INTERGENERATIONAL INVESTING Families of wealth face three key questions about intergenerational wealth planning: how best to invest to sustain future generations; how best to engage the next genera- tion; and how best to ensure family unity endures. Often each question is addressed independently. We find that a conversation across generations about the impact of a meaningful venture capital (VC) allocation can help address all three questions in an integrated manner. Venture capital offers the potential for attractive returns relative to public equity markets, often in a tax-advantaged manner, thus allowing the portfolio to generate more wealth to support current and future generations. Bringing the next generation into the conversation about the changing investing landscape also offers the oppor- tunity for both generations to learn about the unique aspects of VC investing and the critical role it can play in the family’s portfolio. Furthermore, the vast potential that exists for making lasting impact through VC, both in terms of financial returns and contributions to society, may provide unifying experiences across generations. For many families, venture investing may provide a connection to the original roots of entrepreneurship that created the family wealth. As VC spurs continued innovation and industry disruption, families should consider the potential positive disruption the inclusion of VC can bring to their intergenerational investment plans. This paper provides some context for considering such an inclusion by discussing the investment potential and implications for interested investors. Venture, the source of future returns Whether it be cloud computing, machine learning, or artificial intelligence, emerging technologies are transforming many industries.

  • Private Equity
    Private Equity: Accomplishments and Challenges by Greg Brown, University of North Carolina; Bob Harris, University of Virginia; Steve Kaplan, University of Chicago; Tim Jenkinson, University of Oxford; and David Robinson, Duke University ince the 1980s, there has been an ongoing discussion about the role of private S equity (PE) in the economy. As investors have flocked to the asset class, voices critical of the negative social impact of PE have grown louder. In this article, we examine what is known from the academic literature about the effects of private equity on corporate productivity, the returns for investors, and possible broader economic and social consequences. We catalogue what we believe to be strong evidence of the overall benefits of PE-backed companies and investors in private equity, as well as spillovers in the form of broader gains in economic productivity. We also describe apparent instances of PE shortcomings in some specific industries where negative social impacts can be measured in some way. In our view, private equity is “capitalism in high gear” and, Back to the 1980s as such, subject to most of the same debates concerning Our account of private equity begins at the end of the 1980s, economic and social conditions in a free enterprise system. when hostile takeovers and other often highly leveraged While some argue that the 2020 version of capitalism transactions, including a relative newcomer called the lever- (as practiced in the U.S. and much of the world) is inef- aged buyout (or LBO), came under fierce attack in both the fective in coping with current social needs, much of the press and conventional business circles.

  • Tenex Capital Partners II, LP
    Agenda Item 7a CHRIS CHRISTIE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Governor DIVISION OF INVESTMENT KIM GUADAGNO P.O. BOX 290 FORD M. SCUDDER Lt. Governor TRENTON, NJ 08625-0290 Acting State Treasurer January 22, 2016 MEMORANDUM TO: The State Investment Council FROM: Christopher McDonough Director SUBJECT: Proposed Investment in Tenex Capital Partners II, L.P. The New Jersey Division of Investment (“Division”) is proposing an investment of up to $100 million in Tenex Capital Partners II, L.P. This memorandum is presented to the State Investment Council (the “Council”) pursuant to N.J.A.C. 17:16-69.9. Tenex Capital Management (“Tenex” or the “Firm”) is establishing Tenex Capital Partners II, L.P. to continue their successful strategy of leveraging the Firm’s unique combination of experience in operational restructurings, capital markets, and investment management to make control investments of industry laggards and return them to market competitive. The Division is recommending this investment based on the following factors: Differentiated Investment Style: Tenex targets companies with operational distress, typically looking to buy “B” and “C” companies from motivated sellers at attractive valuations, often through busted auctions where there are few competing buyers due to the operational distress. Meanwhile, Tenex has shown strong purchase price discipline, with an average entry Enterprise Value/ Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple of 6.5x. Impressive Long Term Track Record: Prior to five of the Managing Directors forming Tenex in 2010, over a 10-year period, the Tenex team had participated in the investment of over $900 million in nine companies, which generated cash proceeds of $2.6 billion to yield a gross Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 35.8% and a 2.8x Multiple on Invested Capital (“MOIC”).

When we discern material changes in the structure of an asset class and/or a fund’s investment strategy, it is in the interest of all users of our benchmark statistics that we implement the appropriate classification realignments. In addition, Cambridge Associates is always working to grow our private investments performance database and ensure that our benchmarks are as representative as possible of investors’ institutional-quality opportunity set. As a result we continually add funds to the database (both newly-raised funds and backfill funds) and occasionally we must remove funds that cease reporting.
