  • 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.

  • Welcome to the 12Th Annual INSEAD Private Equity Conference
    Welcome to the 12th Annual INSEAD Private Equity Conference INSEAD welcomes you to the 12th Annual Private Equity Conference. The conference, inaugurated in 2003, has become the most successful private equity and venture capital event hosted by a European academic institution. With over 1,500 alumni working in the industry worldwide, INSEAD’s presence in the private equity community is well-recognized. This conference is a gathering amongst leading practitioners, academics and the INSEAD community to debate the forces shaping the private equity industry. We are delighted to host an impressive and diverse group of experienced industry professionals here on INSEAD Europe Campus. Since the financial crisis, one of the strongest trends in private equity has been increased focus on value creation. This year’s theme, “How to achieve alpha in the current environment,” aims to delve into the topic of generating returns through operational change, and assess the implications of this trend for the future of private equity. Our keynote speakers, leveraged buyouts and operational excellence panels will explore the topic of value creation deeper. Beyond value creation, the industry is further being shaped by a number of different dynamics and intense competition. To further develop the main theme, we have lined up a focused range of panels and have assembled a diverse group of outstanding panelists and moderators for you. Our panels will attempt to give an update on the current state in different parts of the industry, such as distressed investing, infrastructure and real assets, emerging strategies and limited partner relationships. The annual conference is organized by student and alumni members of the INSEAD Private Equity Club, Global Private Equity Initiative (INSEAD faculty body focused on research in Private Equity industry), Alumni Relations and Student Life offices.
