  • 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.

  • Glossary of Bond Terms
    Glossary of Bond Terms Accreted value- The current value of your zero-coupon municipal bond, taking into account interest that has been accumulating and automatically reinvested in the bond. Accrual bond- Often the last tranche in a CMO, the accrual bond or Z-tranche receives no cash payments for an extended period of time until the previous tranches are retired. While the other tranches are outstanding, the Z-tranche receives credit for periodic interest payments that increase its face value but are not paid out. When the other tranches are retired, the Z-tranche begins to receive cash payments that include both principal and continuing interest. Accrued interest- (1) The dollar amount of interest accrued on an issue, based on the stated interest rate on that issue, from its date to the date of delivery to the original purchaser. This is usually paid by the original purchaser to the issuer as part of the purchase price of the issue; (2) Interest deemed to be earned on a security but not yet paid to the investor. Active tranche- A CMO tranche that is currently paying principal payments to investors. Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM)- A mortgage loan on which interest rates are adjusted at regular intervals according to predetermined criteria. An ARM's interest rate is tied to an objective, published interest rate index. Amortization- Liquidation of a debt through installment payments. Arbitrage- In the municipal market, the difference in interest earned on funds borrowed at a lower tax-exempt rate and interest on funds that are invested at a higher-yielding taxable rate.

  • 1 Overview of Derivatives
    1 Overview of Derivatives A financial derivative is usually defined as an instrument whose value is derived from some underlying cash market instrument. Familiar examples include • options to { buy (\call options") or { sell (\put options") a specified security or commodity at a specified price on a specified date, and • contracts such as { futures or { options on equity indices such Standard & Poor's 500. Newer examples include structured notes, which are securities whose interest or principal payments depend on market conditions, such as floating rate notes and inverse floaters. Swaps of various kinds are also derivatives. Various kinds of derivative are described by Hull, with both details of how their markets operate and the theory of pricing. 1.1 Exchange-Traded versus Over-the-Counter A significant distinction is that between exchange-traded and over-the-counter (\OTC") derivatives. Derivatives that are traded on an exchange are stan- dardized to promote liquidity. They are \marked to market" as of the close of business every day, and the holder's brokerage account is credited or deb- ited with the day's change in value. The holder is required to keep cash or securities in the account sufficient to cover the next day's possible losses with a very high level of probability; this margin protects the other partici- pants against default by the holder of an \out of the money" position. Each instrument is a contract between the holder and the exchange. The OTC market consists of an informal system of dealers linked by telephone, and allows transactions to be customized to meet the precise needs 1 of the dealers' clients.
