    OHIO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM 277 EAST TOWN STREET, COLUMBUS, OH 43215-4642 1-800-222-PERS (7377) www.opers.org MEMORANDUM DATE: July 3, 2007 TO: OPERS Retirement Board Members Chris DeRose - Executive Director CC: Jennifer Hom, Director – Investments Greg Uebele, Senior Investment Officer – External Management FROM: Paul Rodgers, Portfolio Manager – Private Equity RE: Private Equity Update Purpose This memo provides a general update for the private equity activities. General Ohio-Midwest Discretionary Mandate On June 14, Credit Suisse held another “Breakfast Lecture Series” event in Dayton. The event attracted an audience of fifty people with the interaction between panelists and audience members once again vibrant. Those in attendance learned about the Ohio-Midwest initiative and its early results, the decision by OPERS to further support the program with another $50 million of capital, as well as the opportunities and attractiveness of investing in Ohio. One of the benefits of these meetings, beyond education and networking, is to stimulate deal flow opportunities. Credit Suisse’s Mel Carter reported shortly after the event that an entrepreneur in attendance approached one of the Ohio-Midwest Fund’s general partners and initiated a dialogue about the potential sale or recapitalization of his business. Such a meeting most likely would not have occurred had the Dayton event not taken place. Private Equity Procedures Staff is in the process of revising its General Partner Selection and Administration procedures to reflect the changes resulting from the shift in the advisory services model as well as improvements made with regard to workflow. Staff is coordinating this activity with Hamilton Lane, Investment Accounting, Audit, Legal, and Fund Management.

  • Financial Intermediaries in the United States: Development and Impact on Firms and Employment Relations
    Financial Intermediaries in the United States: Development and Impact on Firms and Employment Relations EILEEN APPELBAUM ROSEMARY BATT Cornell University JAE EUN LEE Cornell University Introduction Private equity (PE), hedge funds (HFs), sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), and other private pools of capital form part of the growing shadow banking system in the United States, where these new financial intermediaries provide an alternative investment mechanism to the traditional banking system. PE and HFs have their origins in the USA, while the first SWF was created by the Kuwaiti Government in 1953. While they have separate roots and distinct business models, these alternative investment vehicles have increasingly merged into overarching asset management funds which encompass all three alternative investments. These funds have wielded increasing power in financial and non-financial sectors—not only via direct investments but also indirectly, as their strategies—such as high use of debt to fund investments—have been increasingly adopted by investment arms of banks and by publicly-traded corporations. In this chapter we outline the changes in the US regulatory environment which have facilitated the rapid growth of alternative or new investment funds (AIFs or NIFs) and then examine the specific features of these funds, including their growth, business models, and implications for firms and employees. The Institutional Environment Part of the power and dramatic growth in the activities of PE and other NIFs is related to the weak regulatory environment in the USA— particularly the financial regulatory regime, and to a lesser extent, labour market laws, and institutions. Financial Regulation Four laws provide the regulatory framework for US public cor- porations and the financial services industry: the Securities Act 1933, Securities Exchange Act 1934, Investment Company Act 1940 (Company Act), and Investment Advisers Act 1940 (Advisers Act).
