  • 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.

    • EMEA Emerging Markets Flourish Despite Brexit Jitters EMEA Private Equity • Specialist Mid-Market GPs Face Stiff Competition Market Snapshot • EMEA Consumer Products Losing Ground to US Targets • UK Large Caps, UK Mid-Caps: Spot Any Difference? October 2016 │ Issue 11 1 EMEA Private Equity Market Snapshot Editor’s Note Welcome to the eleventh issue of the EMEA Private Equity Market Snapshot, a quarterly publication focusing on the private equity [PE] market in Europe, the Middle East & Africa [EMEA] from S&P Global Market Intelligence. This issue leads with a review of the third quarter of 2016, noting the attractiveness of EMEA-based targets continu es to weaken in the eyes of foreign private equity buyers, with the UK faring the worst, while the Emerging Markets bucked this trend. We also take a look at the Brexit effect on the slowdown of activity of EMEA GPs and venture capital firms. We visit the UK Mid-Markets where unpredictability is the order of the day: subdued global investment while UK-based GPs remain optimistic, being left behind by its European neighbours and being the victim of intrusion from outsiders. The Consumer Products sector – the long-term darling of the private equity industry is going through a tumultuous time in EMEA as well as losing ground to the US. Is this sector in danger of losing its appeal? Our final piece looks at the UK Billion Dollar Funds and finds it short of investments and not investors and touches upon the private equity industry moving away from financial engineering towards value creation strategies which require longer holding periods.
