  • Songs of Profit, Song of Loss: Private Equity Investing in New York City
    Songs of Profit, Song of Loss: Private Equity Investing in New York City Daniel Souleles Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2015 © 2015 Daniel Souleles All rights reserved ABSTRACT Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss: Private Equity Investing in New York City Daniel Souleles This dissertation is an ethnographic description of the process by which private equity investors buy, manage, and sell companies for profit, all while private equity, as an industry, manages around $3.5 trillion of capital. Drawing from data gathered from the summer of 2012 through fall of 2014, this dissertation offers an account of investing that diverges from other ethnographic cases in that it relies on ongoing conversations about value and time that investors have, which seek to justify the decisions investors make. Once I explain how investors find and create value as well as the opportune time to invest, I explain how this negotiation fits into a stereotyped, formalized deal process, which acts like a total social fact in rearranging people and wealth in social life. I ultimately suggest that this approach to explaining the action of private equity investors has a broader use in rendering other financial capitalists ethnographically comparable to private equity investors, as well as in rendering other societal distributions of wealth and poverty comparable to that which exists in the contemporary United States.

  • Preqin Special Report: the Private Debt Top 100
    PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 ■ The 100 Largest Fund Managers ■ The 100 Largest Institutional Investors AUGUST 2018 PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 FOREWORD s reported in the 2018 Preqin Global Private Debt Report, the private debt asset class in 2017 was characterized by a trend Atowards greater capital concentration: 17% fewer funds reached a final close than in 2016, while a record $107bn was secured among fund managers. Average fund size increased to $869mn, a leap of $171mn from the previous year. Capital remains concentrated among the top GPs, as the 10 largest funds closed in 2017 secured over a third of total capital raised in the year. Institutional investor appetite for the private debt asset class is strong, with 98% of investors surveyed by Preqin at the end of 2017 planning to increase or maintain their private debt allocations in the long term. The 100 largest private debt LPs have a combined $172bn invested in the asset class, which represents nearly a quarter (22%) of all capital invested in the space. The top LPs are the main drivers behind the growth in prominence of the largest fund managers, as they require GPs to be of sufficient scale to accept and deploy increasingly large commitments. With the objective of providing greater insight into who the most influential players are, Preqin is pleased to provide a comprehensive ranking for the first time of the top 100 GPs and LPs within the private debt asset class, taken from our platform. For the purpose of this report, the GP rankings have been compiled based on the total value of private debt funds raised by each GP in the past 10 years – this includes any capital raised by owned subsidiaries.

Come meglio spiegato in questo nostro articolo di oggi, la cosa interessante è che Consob ha ritenuto di ascoltare il mercato e quindi di ampliare la rosa dei potenziali investitori in minibond, prevedendo tre nuove categorie di investitori diverse dagli investitori professionali e dagli investitori professionali su richiesta. Tanto da permettere anche agli investitori retail di sottoscrivere le campagne, a patto che questo avvenga nell’ambito di un servizio di gestione patrimoniale o consulenza d’investimento. Si tratta di una novità eclatante per il mercato e che si inserisce nel trend che vede molti asset manager proporre alla propria clientela private investimenti in private asset.
