Overview

One question often asked in the boardroom is why Private Equity funds can obtain IRRs in excess of 20%, maximizing investor value far more successfully than traditional public companies. However, the current situation in capital and credit markets pose challenges that underline the need for Private Equity firms to develop proprietary deal flow and/or value creation strategies.

The program Private Equity: Value Creation through Private Capital will address these and other key aspects in private equity deals. It aims to provide participants with a deep understanding of the private equity investment process and a practical framework of the different stages, from opportunity selection to harvesting returns.

Participants will learn from expert professors and practitioners the tools that Private Equity firms use to identify investment opportunities, evaluate potential investments, structure and finance a deal, create value, and time the exit. The program will also cover Private Equity as the driving force supporting management teams acquiring companies (MBOs, MBIs and BIMBOs). The course focuses on growth equity and buy-outs. Venture Capital is covered in a different program, due to its distinctive characteristics, but is scheduled in the same week so that participants can attend both programs consecutively.

The Private Equity program covers the following topics:

• Selection of investment opportunities • Valuation of potential investments

• Structuring • Financing vehicles

• Value creation • Exit strategies

Participants will learn from lectures, case studies, hands-on exercises, and the insights of expert practitioners who will come to the classroom to share their experience.
