  • 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).

  • Private Markets Fees Primer WHITEPAPER OCTOBER 2019
    Private Markets Fees Primer WHITEPAPER OCTOBER 2019 This primer describes the most common fee and profit sharing arrangements CONTRIBUTORS associated with private market investments. It attempts to answer common Blaze Cass Andrew Gilboard questions when considering an investment across the range of private market John Haggerty, CFA asset classes, including private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate, and natural resources. Most private market vehicles have the following fee and profit sharing components: I. Management fees II. Carried interest: → Preferred return → Catch-up provision → Carried interest rate The above terms will be explored throughout this primer, including definitions, common structures, and their expected impact on net returns to the Limited Partner (“Investor”). Finally, this primer will examine industry trends by investment strategy, as well as how the structuring of fees and profit sharing arrangements impacts the alignment between Investors and the General Partner (“Manager”). While there are a variety of fee and profit sharing structures found across the private markets universe, for the purposes of this primer we focus on one of the most common, the so-called “2/8/20” model that prevails for closed-end vehicles (“Funds”) executing a private equity buyout strategy. Note that, in the Appendix, common variations from this structure—seen with other strategies—are outlined. What is a management fee? A management fee is a fee paid in regular intervals (typically quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) to the Manager in order to compensate them for managing the Fund. The management fee is generally used by the Manager to cover the overhead costs associated with executing the Fund’s strategy, such as, but not limited to, salaries and benefits, office rent, and day-to-day administrative costs incurred by the Manager.

  • 18032 Investcorp MD&A P7-76 Tp
    INVESTCORP MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (FY09), Investcorp has witnessed what has been, arguably,the worst period of sustained stress to world economies and financial markets in living memory.The environment has had a severe impact on Investcorp across both its client and its investment businesses, and it has been the most challenging year for Investcorp since its formation in 1982. The management team has focused on dealing with these challenges head on. It has maintained an active and open dialog with clients throughout the year and has protected the balance sheet by raising capital, reducing investment risk and mitigating re-financing risk by holding high levels of cash liquidity while de-leveraging the balance sheet at the same time. The successful completion of a preference share issue in excess of $500 million, more than double the stated minimum target, in such a difficult environment is clear evidence of confidence in Investcorp’s business model and management team. Although the length and depth of the global recession is still uncertain, management believes that the firm action taken during the fiscal year will enable Investcorp to move forward and focus on the attractive business opportunities that now present themselves. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The sub-prime housing crisis that started in the United States in 2007 developed in late calendar year 2008 into a major systemic financial crisis, sending economic activity in the developed world into a synchronized downward spiral.This has led the IMF to make continual downward revisions to its estimate for global growth in calendar years 2009 and 2010.

  • 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.
