MASTERCLASS: EXCELLENCE IN PRIVATE EQUITY BUYOUTS
*Terms & Conditions apply
Course Overview
The segment with the largest deal sizes in the private equity asset class are buyouts. The deals have several moving parts which have been mastered by fund managers like KKR, Blackstone, TPG, Carlyle and other mega fund managers. Other fund managers also encounter and invest in buyouts, provided they have the needed skill sets. The mantra for those who aspire to be leaders in the private equity asset class is: buyouts are both important and far more interesting and exciting than public equity markets in the Twenty-First Century world of high finance. Private equity (PE) surged through another milestone with a total buyout deal value of US$1.1 trillion in 2021. That was almost double the previous year’s $577 billion and marked the first time that the figure has surpassed $1 trillion; the previous record high was $804 billion in 2006.
Bain & Company’s Global Private Equity Report shows that this exponential rise is attributed to deal size rather than the number of deals. The average deal size was $1.1 billion – the first time this figure has topped $1bn - and the number of $1bn+ deals was roughly double that of 2020. While billion dollar deals grab the headlines, there are several smaller mid- market buyout deals that are pursued by fund managers with more modest AUMs. This Masterclass on buyouts delves into the complexities, upsides and downsides of buyouts. It is an essential course for professionals at all levels in all parts of the buyout eco-system such fund managers, debt providers, private debt, venture capitalists and corporates.
