  • How Will Financial Services Private Equity Investments Fare in the Next Recession?
    How Will Financial Services Private Equity Investments Fare in the Next Recession? Leading funds are shifting to balance-sheet-light and countercyclical investments. By Tim Cochrane, Justin Miller, Michael Cashman and Mike Smith Tim Cochrane, Justin Miller, Michael Cashman and Mike Smith are partners with Bain & Company’s Financial Services and Private Equity practices. They are based, respectively, in London, New York, Boston and London. Copyright © 2019 Bain & Company, Inc. All rights reserved. How Will Financial Services Private Equity Investments Fare in the Next Recession? At a Glance Financial services deals in private equity have grown on the back of strong returns, including a pooled multiple on invested capital of 2.2x in recent years, higher than all but healthcare and technology deals. With a recession increasingly likely during the next holding period, PE funds need to develop plans to weather any storm and potentially improve their competitive position during and after the downturn. Many leading funds are investing in balance-sheet-light assets enabled by technology and regulatory change. Diligences now should test target companies under stressful economic scenarios and lay out a detailed value-creation plan, including how to mobilize quickly after acquisition. Financial services deals by private equity funds have had a strong run over the past few years, with deal value increasing significantly in Europe and the US(see Figure 1). Returns have been strong as well. Global financial services deals realized a pooled multiple on invested capital of 2.2x from 2009 through 2015, higher than all but healthcare and technology deals (see Figure 2).

Internment in Hawaii was far more severe than it was in Arkansas. This claim is supported by both primary sources, derived mainly from oral interviews, and secondary sources made up of scholarly research that has been conducted on the topic since the events of Japanese American internment occurred.

  • Bain, Ares Moves Stoke Alts Fund Arms Race
    Bain, Ares Moves Stoke Alts Fund Arms Race By Tom Stabile February 15, 2017 Bain Capital, Ares Management, and various private equity peers have cranked up their efforts to reach retail investors through a wave of new products and partnerships in the increasingly active non-traded registered fund marketplace. The firms have built up their presence in the market for non-traded business development company (BDC), real estate investment trust (REIT), closed-end, and interval funds over the past year through a mix of new products, joint ventures, acquisitions, and subadvisory mandates. The scrum in the past year also has included private equity managers such as Blackstone Group, Apollo Global Management, and Providence Equity Partners; real estate fund managers Rialto Capital Management and Colony NorthStar; and hedge funds such as Magnetar Capital and Och-Ziff Capital Management. And they are often partnering with active players in the non-traded registered alts fund business, such as FS Investments, CION Investments, and Griffin Capital, each of which has stepped up new product efforts. Blackstone, Apollo, KKR, and Carlyle Group had established footholds in this market in recent years through earlier rounds of partnerships, but the range of new moves – and addition of peer firms to the fray – has created a bustle. “There continues to be a retail invasion of the market by these big [managers],” says Rajib Chanda, a partner at Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett who specializes in registered fund law. “There definitely has been a renewed interest in the interval funds structure.” The non-traded registered product market’s earlier push several years ago largely involved establishing broader fund of funds-style structures, but now there is much more activity on single funds and narrower investment options, Chanda says.

  • NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 Von Richard Kapun
    NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 von Richard Kapun IRONMAN MIT MUMUKU Der 24. Ironman auf Big Island, Hawaii fand unter verschärften Wetterbedingungen statt. Der gefürchtete Passatwind Mumuku mutierte zum Spielverderber und verhinderte ein Rennen der Rekorde. Dennoch gab es mit dem Kanadier Peter Reid und der Schweizerin Natascha Badmann erwartete Sieger. Wieder Kanada und die Schweiz Wie bei den Olympischen Spielen baumeln auf Big Island die kanadische und die schweizer Flagge am höchsten. Schon zum zweiten Mal standen Reid und Badmann auf der obersten Stufe des Siegertreppchens in Kona. Vor 2 Jahren durften sich die beiden ebenfalls gegenseitig gratulieren. Der 24. Ironman Hawaii wurde vom gefürchteten Passatwind Mumuku stark beeinflußt. Vor allem auf dem Rad waren die Teilnehmer mit einer böigen Naturgewalt konfrontiert. Der Auftaktbewerb im Pazifik vor der Westküste der größten hawaiischen Insel Big Island verlief noch reibungslos und plangemäß. Der Tag begann morgens um 7 mit 29 Grad Celsius und 50 % Luftfeuchtigkeit. Vom 3 kmh langsamen Wind war im Wasser noch nichts zu spüren. Der US-Amerikaner John Westin gewann den Sprint der schnellsten Vierergruppe am Ende der ersten Teilstrecke (49:44 Min.). Dahinter Rukoshuev/USA und sein Landsmann James Bonney. Neben Bonney an vierter Stelle die schnellste Frau, Barb Lindquist/USA. Alle 4 blieben knapp unter 50 Minuten für die 3,8 Auftaktkilometer. Der 44-jährige Ex-Schwimmer John Westin schwamm am schnellsten (49:44) beim Ironman Hawaii 2000. Im nachfolgenden Reigen wurden die ersten Favoriten im Sekundentakt an Land gespült. Zuerst die DeBoom-Brüder dann der Brite Spencer Smith. Von den deutschen Herausforderern nahm Ralph Eggert als Schnellster sein Rad in die Hand.

  • From a U.S. Internment Camp to Your Living Room and Your Cherished
    Willie Ito ICOMM Keynote Lunch Presentation On February 18, 1942, Executive Order 9066 was issued and 8-year-old Willie Ito and his family were removed from their San Francisco home and forced into an internment camp along with over 120,000 U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry. Rule of law principles were trampled and every civil and constitutional right guaranteed by the Bill of Rights was violated. This ugly episode in our history continues to rear its head as selective enforcement is being advocated with seemingly increasing volume. Regardless of the context, such action would similarly violate U.S. laws as well many international human rights treaties to which the U.S. is a signatory. Willie Ito’s professional journey began in the dried salt lakedesert internment camp in Topaz, Utah. In his spare time in the camp, Willie would entertain himself by drawing pictures on the corners of the War Relocation Authority provisions catalog. Flipping the pages, he became a self-taught animator. To the bemusement of his parents, at age 10, Willie announced his intention to become a cartoonist or comicstrip artist upon their release from camp. His professional career as an animator began in 1954, when Willie was hired by Disney and assigned to the “Lady Unit”. He assumed that this was a derogatory term for junior animators, but Willie was actually assigned to the Lady and Tramp project. As fate would have it, his first assignment was to animate the “spaghetti sequence” in The Lady and the Tramp, a scene that would go on to become one of the most iconic of early feature animation in history.
