  • Evaluating Investments in Unlisted Equity for the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (Gpfg)1
    EVALUATING INVESTMENTS IN UNLISTED EQUITY FOR THE NORWEGIAN GOVERNMENT PENSION FUND GLOBAL (GPFG)1 This version: April 5, 2018 Trond M. Døskeland, NHH Per Strömberg, Stockholm School of Economics 1 We would like to thank Kyrre Stensnes, Hans-Jörgen Tranvåg, Adair Morse, David Robinson, Steve Kaplan, Josh Lerner, and Antti Ilmanen for helpful comments and suggestions. We are also grateful to Ludo Phalippou for sharing his data. Erik Stensrud and Laszlo Sajtos provided excellent research assistance. 1 Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide analysis and recommendation to assist the Ministry of Finance in assessing whether the mandate to GPFG should be altered to allow for investments in unlisted equity, or Private Equity (PE) investments. The PE market consists of different segments that differ depending on the types of firms they invest in: venture capital (investing in young companies and startups), growth equity (investing in somewhat more established but fast-growing companies), buyouts (investing in mature companies), and distress (focusing on turnaround situations). Still, the PE model of ownership and governance is quite similar across these segments. The focus of PE investors is on creating real value through active ownership and governance of firms in a way that is difficult to replicate in a public setting. Top PE investors possess unique skills to add real value to the companies they own beyond just financial engineering, and these skills are difficult to acquire and/or imitate. The bulk of PE investment is undertaken by specialized financial intermediaries, PE funds, in which PE fund managers raise capital from institutional investors.

The Preqin Quarterly Update: Private Equity, Q1 2013 Download Data Foreword Private equity fundraising in the fi rst quarter of 2013 was relatively robust, with 130 funds closed having raised an aggregate $67.2bn. However, in an increasingly competitive fundraising market – 1,906 funds are in market as of the start of Q2 2013 – many LPs are choosing to invest in funds raised by more established managers. First-time funds that closed in Q1 2013 secured just $4.2bn in aggregate capital, compared to the peak of $31.6bn in Q2 2008. However, Preqin’s interviews with private equity investors in December 2012 reveal that investor attitudes towards fi rst-time fund managers are more positive moving forwards; half of LPs interviewed will consider committing to fi rst-time funds or those managed by spin-off teams in the following 12 months.

  • 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.
