Description of Structuring European Private Equity

European private equity continues to grow. Both exits and buyouts have grown in value terms across a range of markets. In 2005, private equity buyouts increased 10% in value terms on the previous six months to £77.1bn, and exits rose 38% to £39bn.

This timely and unique book takes you into the heart of the European private equity market and guides you through sophisticated private equity products, performance measurement, risk management, fund structures and market dynamics.

You need this book to ensure you are fully equipped to tackle the increasingly competitive nature of the private equity industry. It highlights the issues faced by the industry today and in the future. In particular, Structuring European Private Equity:

- tells you what relationship possibilities exist between private equity and industry and how a fund can be used by corporates to achieve their specific objectives;
- shows which aspects of the venture capital model European funds can apply from the US model;
- explains how changes in current fund structures in relation to the agreed general partner and limited partner terms affect you;
- looks at the current boundaries of the traditional limited partnership fund structure;
- examines the governance relationship between a fund's general partners and the management of portfolio firms;
- investigates the ever-increasing role of the fund-of-funds channel, looking at the benefits for limited partners who are considering entering or increasing their exposure to private equity investing;
- shows you how private equity funds and limited partners can make use of the secondary market;
- demonstrates how to create value beyond financial engineering with an examination of how operations and strategic decisions can be improved;
- gives you an analysis of private equity return versus public market return; and
- explains how to measure and interpret performance and outcomes.

This insightful book also takes a look at the future trends for investing, covering:

- what to consider when investing in Eastern Europe; and
- how to apply the principles of private equity to yield social returns.

Written by the leading industry experts, Structuring European Private Equity is an essential guide for private and institutional investors, entrepreneurs, venture capital and private equity professionals.
