  • Private Equity
    PRIVATE EQUITY Viney Sawhney <[email protected]> Introduction – Course Description This course is the study of private equity money invested in companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange or invested in as part of buyouts of publicly traded companies. The objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive overview and in-depth understanding of the private equity markets. Private equity finance will be explored from a number of perspectives, beginning with the structure and objectives of private equity funds; followed by the analysis and financing of investment opportunities; and finally crafting strategies for harvesting investments. There has been an increase in both the supply of and demand for private equity. On the supply side, the amount of private equity under management - by partnerships investing in private equity, growth investments, leveraged buyouts, distressed companies, real estate, etc. - has increased dramatically in recent years. On the demand side, an increasing number of individuals and companies are interested in starting and growing their respective businesses. Collectively, small and medium businesses are focused in gaining access to Private Equity and understanding the dynamics of this unique funding source. Course objectives The main objective of the course is to provide students with the necessary theoretical and conceptual tools used in private equity deals. The course provides the intellectual framework used in the private equity process, valuation in private equity settings, creating term sheets, the process of due diligence and deal structuring. Other learning objectives include building an understanding of harvesting through IPO or M&A, public-private partnerships and sovereign wealth funds.

  • Member Exclusive by Dasia Moore the World’S Largest Tech Investor
    Member exclusive by Dasia Moore The world’s largest tech investor SoftBank’s Vision Fund launched in 2017 with nearly $100 billion and a dream of funding the next tech revolution. With its historic amount of capital, the Vision Fund established SoftBank as the tech investor to watch. But in the past year, high-profile disappointments—from Uber’s lackluster debut on the public markets to WeWork’s abandoned IPO—have removed some of the Vision Fund’s initial sheen and prompted critics to ask whether biggest is best. Putting the Vision Fund’s capital in context Median size of US venture capital (VC) funds in Q1 2019 $0.10 Tiger Global Management's fundraising from 2007-2017 $11.97 (the most capital raised by any US VC firm in that period) US VC total fundraising in 2017 $34.30 Capital invested in SoftBank's Vision Fund $98.40 Total value of all US VC deals in 2018 $132.09 $0 $40 $80 $120 billion 2 SoftBank’s sprawling investments The Vision Fund is just one piece of SoftBank’s complex network of investing and holding companies. It is difficult to take full stock of SoftBank Group Corporation’s investments, partly because the Group’s 47 branches—20 of which are holding companies—frequently swap pieces of their portfolios. SoftBank’s dedicated venture capital funds include the Vision Fund and the Delta Fund, with the Vision Fund accounting for nearly all of SoftBank’s venture capital investments since 2017. SoftBank is also launching additional funds modelled after the Vision Fund: • SoftBank Venture Asia is a $1.1 billion collection of 12 funds focused on tech investing in Asia.
