I would like to thank the Chairman, Vice Chairmen and Executive Board for placing their trust in me. Together with the existing team, we will work to grow as an organization and to raise the profile of the Venture Capital & Private Equity sector in Spain, and we will also implement important measures to continue driving growth of the industry. My goal is to improve the quality of the services provided to managers, limited partners and advisors by strengthening investment and optimizing our tax framework, and through internationalization. In order to achieve this goal we have implemented a roadmap for public matters and are drafting a reputation improvement plan and preparing both a regional and a European roadshow. We also continue to work towards improving the regulatory and tax framework applicable to our industry at this time, which should allow us to work with a higher level of legal security, for both investors and managers. On the other hand, we believe that another essential measure involves promoting the investment of pension funds and insurance companies in venture capital and private equity funds. This Yearbook provides general information on ASCRI and its members, as well as on the VC&PE activity. I hope you find this useful, and I hope the insight provided helps you to better understand how each of the stakeholders within this industry operates. Venture capital and private equity this past year reached a record high, both in investment and in divestment and fundraising, with an extremely active middle market. We have also helped to develop new Venture Capital & Private Equity operators and to strengthen Spain’s position as an extremely attractive focus for foreign investment. This is the time to invest, divest and raise new funds, while we here at ASCRI continue with our training sessions, specialized publications and sector events. Supporting entrepreneurs and their projects and companies, building bridges with other associations, all with institutional loyalty, collaborative spirit and a global vision. José Zudaire ASCRI General Manager 4 Es un honor para mí dirigir la Asociación Española de Capital, Crecimiento e Inversión (ASCRI). Quiero agradecer al Presidente, Vicepresidentes y Junta Directiva la confianza recibida. Junto al equipo existente, trabajaremos para crecer como asociación y elevar el perfil del sector de Venture Capital & Private Equity en nuestro país, y pondremos en marcha medidas importantes para seguir impulsando a la industria. Mi objetivo es mejorar la calidad de servicio a los gestores, limited partners y asesores mediante la potenciación de la inversión, la optimización del marco fiscal y la internacionalización. Para ello, hemos puesto en marcha una hoja de ruta de asuntos públicos, estamos elaborando un plan de mejora reputacional y realizando un roadshow regional y otro europeo. Continuamos también con nuestra labor de tratar de mejorar el marco normativo y fiscal que aplica en estos momentos a nuestra industria y que nos debe permitir trabajar con mayor seguridad jurídica, tanto a inversores como a gestores. Por otro lado, creemos también fundamental estimular la inversión de los fondos de pensiones y compañías aseguradoras en fondos de capital privado. En este Anuario podrás encontrar información general sobre ASCRI, sobre la actividad de VC&PE y de cada uno de los socios que la componen. Espero que te resulte útil y te ayude a comprender cómo opera cada uno de los agentes que conforman esta industria. Hemos alcanzado un récord histórico este último año, tanto en inversión como en desinversión y fundraising, con un middle market enormemente activo. También hemos asistido a la creación de nuevos operadores de Venture Capital & Private Equity y la consolidación de España como un foco de gran atractivo para la inversión extranjera. Es el momento para invertir, desinvertir y captar nuevos fondos, mientras ASCRI continúa con las jornadas de formación, las publicaciones especializadas y los eventos sectoriales.

  • Private Equity in Sweden
    PRIVATE EQUITY IN SWEDEN An analysis of the private equity industry in Sweden and two case studies on individual companies’ competitive strategy JOHAN MATTISSON MASTER THESIS LUND UNIVERSITY, 2017 Abstract Private equity is a growing global phenomena and private equity companies have become a major force in many of Sweden’s industries. These companies own portfolio companies which together employs around 190 000 people and have an annual revenue of over 318 billion SEK. The purpose of this thesis was to describe and analyze the Swedish private equity industry and individual companies’ competitive strategy to increase value of portfolio companies and to attract capital. The methodical approach of this thesis was qualitative and abductive. Only public data was used bar the two interviews that was conducted with the case companies. The theoretical framework for the industry analysis was Porters five forces. The case companies were analyzed on the corporate, business and operational levels of strategy. A resource based view was used to further analyze the case companies’ strategic capabilities. The main findings from the industry analysis was that the vast majority of investors in Swedish private equity funds are made by professional institutions and a large amount of the investments were of international origin. The large pool of investors makes it easier for Swedish private equity companies to attract capital. The number of new private equity funds have been declining since 2007 but at the same time the average fund size has grown. There are many differentiating factors between private equity companies. This differentiation is beneficial for the private equity companies as they become less commoditized from the viewpoint of an investor.

  • Private Equity
    Kuwait Financial Centre “Markaz” P R I V A T E E Q U I T Y U P D A T E Private Equity Month End February, 2008 Market Trends Private Equity update: Compiled from various public - The Private Equity market in 2008 has started off slow, with no sources expectation to pick up quickly. The sluggish start was expected for 2008, so this doesn’t come as a surprise to investors. Total leveraged buy-out volume so far in 2008 is down to $34 billion, two-thirds of the volume at this time the previous year. A single mega-deal from 2007 eclipses the total buy-out volume for 2008. While the level of activity has been slow-moving, the industry is still sitting on $820 billion of uncalled capital from investors. The average size of buy-outs this year, $120 million, is the lowest since 2001. - For the average private equity firm, about 38 individuals are employed for every $1 billion of assets under management, and this number decreases to 15 or less at many of the larger firms. With this type of a work force, it will prove influential since $10 billion buy-outs occur daily. However, if the investors deploy the funds across an array of smaller deals, it will result in longer waiting periods, as well as smaller returns. - Investors in the real estate market in 2008 are the most optimistic, due to predictions of higher or the same returns for this year. Investors intend on using the same type of strategy for deals in 2008.

  • Our Credentials and Approach MAY 2021 Our Credentials and Approach
    our credentials and approach MAY 2021 our credentials and approach A new Alternative We launched Avonhurst, an advisory firm dedicated to the interests of sophisticated capital clients, to provide political strategy, legal advisory and capital services and the accompanying deal execution across Europe and beyond. As traditional law firms are focused on the model of billing by the hour in a manner that fails to align their interests with those of their clients, we listened to the concerns of the clients we have represented over the years and have built a new alternative. Rather than stick with the historic model, Avonhurst provides all the traditional legal services required by sophisticated capital but no longer uses the billable hour as the metric for determining value to clients. Instead we provide a blend of fixed fees, retainers and discounted fixed fees, contingent fees and discretionary fees. We are an advisory firm which finally aligns our interests with yours. Our partners and associates all hail from investment banks or top-tier international law firms and have decades of experience working for financial institutions, PE funds, credit funds and other sophisticated investors in high-profile transactions. We are fully aligned with our clients’ need for beneficial outcomes in any transaction and the need to work with all parties to secure these outcomes. Transaction delivery should be a process aimed at co-operation, efficient implementation and risk-allocation and Avonhurst is structured toward those ends. We supplement our base of experts with a targeted use of technology and smart insourcing to deliver efficient and effective services for lenders, borrowers, vendors and purchasers across markets, asset classes and geographies.
