  • Value in Private Equity: Where Social Meets Shareholder 3 OPPORTUNITIES ALIGNED
    VALUE IN PRIVATE EQUITY WHERE SOCIAL MEETS SHAREHOLDER By Mark Hepworth Big Issue Invest March 2014 2 MOVING TOWARDS AN ERA OF OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL... The imbalance of opportunity in society is as striking today as it ever was. In my opinion though, this lack of opportunity is caused, not so much by opportunity not being there, but because of the lack of educational qualifications, or other criteria, such as direction and focus being absent in poorer sections of society. Clearly someone who attended private school, comes from a wealthy and educated family, and who completed their education to degree level is more likely to achieve than someone who was brought up as part of a one parent family, located in an inner city borough, didn’t attend much school and left at the earliest opportunity without any exam passes. Opportunity is always there for those naturally gifted, or lucky enough to spot it, or perhaps those educated enough to recognise it. I recently had lunch with a leading politician and mentioned my belief that we simply must find a way of linking the powerful stallions of free enterprise to the carriage of humanity that follows behind. It is essential in a modern democratic society that we work toward inclusion for all. Forget making the rich poorer, let’s make the poor richer. To most, the goal of private equity investment is typically seen as working in direct conflict to this goal of social inclusion. The media tends to distort and exaggerate the sector like a pantomime villain - asset stripping, job losses, financial engineering...the list goes on.

  • TM Capital Gift and Home Report
    TM Capital Gift and Home Report Industry Spotlight Winter 2018 / 2019 tmcapital.com Gift and Home Accessory Industry Spotlight Introduction: Adjusting the Sails Introduction: Adjusting the Sails As we enter the 10th year of the current economic expansion, which began in June 2009, it seems appropriate to paraphrase a well-worn quote: “a pessimist will feel the wind front on, an optimist will feel it at their back and the realist will simply adjust the sail.” Indeed, there is considerable debate regarding where the winds of change will lead the economy in general, and the Gift and Home Accessory (GHA) sector more specifically, in 2019 and beyond. While broad economic indicators - from GDP growth to consumer confidence - continue to paint a picture of robust economic momentum, the GHA industry merits a more careful examination. Across the industry, the rising economic tide has generally lifted industry players. Going forward, we believe that market participants most adept at navigating industry changes will disproportionately benefit. In this edition of the TM Capital Gift and Home Accessory Industry Spotlight we examine: The State of the Economy – A host of macroeconomic indicators suggest continued momentum in the economy, and yet, the stock and housing markets are increasingly volatile. We dive into current market statistics, examine demographic trends and consult our crystal ball for a market forecast. Institutional Investment / M&A – Private equity investors are increasingly tapping the GHA space with a steady stream of high profile investments. Capital deployments create liquidity for owners and promote continued expansion and operational innovation – while also serving as validation of the attractiveness/growth prospects of the industry more broadly.

  • The 25 Most Sought-After Managers
    The 25 Most Sought-After Managers European Mid-Market LBO - Q4 2020 First in the Secondary Market. Introduction The ‘Most Sought-After Manager Rankings’ are published by Setter on a quarterly and semi-annual basis to capture the ebb and flow of secondary demand across various fund strategies and geographies. The rankings are largely based on the Setter Liquidity Rating, which assigns funds a rating of Excellent, Very Good, Good or Unrated depending on the number of secondary buyers that want to buy and/or have recently priced a given fund. Please see Definitions at the end of this report for more details. The number of interested buyers for a given fund are determined by Setter’s team of professionals who passionately track the ever changing shortlists and demand of over 1800 secondary buyers both directly and via SecondaryLink.com, where buyers can enter their shortlists and connect with agents and access deals through the Deal Section. From a primary perspective, the ‘Most Sought-After Manager Rankings’ provide a unique perspective as strong secondary market demand suggests a fund manager is popular among LPs and low secondary market demand may signal diminishing market sentiment and additional future liquidity risk.
