  • Private Equity in the 2000S 1 Private Equity in the 2000S
    Private equity in the 2000s 1 Private equity in the 2000s Private equity in the 2000s relates to one of the major periods in the history of private equity and venture capital. Within the broader private equity industry, two distinct sub-industries, leveraged buyouts and venture capital experienced growth along parallel although interrelated tracks. The development of the private equity and venture capital asset classes has occurred through a series of boom and bust cycles since the middle of the 20th century. As the 20th century ended, so, too, did the dot-com bubble and the tremendous growth in venture capital that had marked the previous five years. In the wake of the collapse of the dot-com bubble, a new "Golden Age" of private equity ensued, as leveraged buyouts reach unparalleled size and the private equity firms achieved new levels of scale and institutionalization, exemplified by the initial public offering of the Blackstone Group in 2007. Bursting the Internet Bubble and the private equity crash (2000–2003) The Nasdaq crash and technology slump that started in March 2000 shook virtually the entire venture capital industry as valuations for startup technology companies collapsed. Over the next two years, many venture firms had been forced to write-off large proportions of their investments and many funds were significantly "under water" (the values of the fund's investments were below the amount of capital invested). Venture capital investors sought to reduce size of commitments they had made to venture capital funds and in numerous instances, investors sought to unload existing commitments for cents on the dollar in the secondary market.

    PRIVATE EQUITY Newsletter QUARTERLY SPECIAL | EDITION 2/2017 CLOSED DEALS in H1 2017 within the German-speaking region NEW DEAL FLOW January - June 2017 in German-speaking region MOST RECENT STUDIES by Roland Berger Private Equity Newsletter Quarterly Special | Edition 2/2017 Dear Friends, dear Clients, Dr. Sascha Haghani We hope that 2017 continues to be successful for you with your current and upcoming deals. Roland Berger’s Investor Support Practice has had the opportunity to support many of you and your teams on numerous attractive transactions and we are looking forward to doing so also in the second half of the year. Christof Huth PE-related deal activity in H1 2017 has been good, amounting to 94 closed deals in the Ger- man-speaking region (up from 53 deals in H1 2016). Also deal flow has been strong, especially in Q1 2017; market participants widely expect this strong deal activity to continue into the second half of the year with an above-average deal flow over the summer months. Deal activity is driven by a combi- nation of favorable financing, a robust economy, and ample dry powder. From an industry perspective, consumer goods and engineered products had the highest deal activity in H1 2017 with 22% and 21% share of the overall deal flow, respectively. This is followed by Sven Kleindienst IT/Telecoms (13% of deal flow), healthcare (12%) and automotive (12%). Activity in automotive al- most doubled compared to the same period last year, driven amongst others also by the sale of Euro- pean carbon-related assets. In terms of target size, smaller mid-cap deals accounted for the majority of closed deals, but with a stable share of large-cap transactions.
