Book excerpt: Scholars and practitioners have known for a long time that risk plays an important, indeed central, role in determining the appropriate discount rate to be used in a sophisticated valuation model. In today's world, however, the very risk of survival, especially for financial institutions, is essential to the health of the world's capital markets and their impact on the global economy.Risk, Value and Default is a vital text for understanding the interaction between enterprise risk management with corporate valuation and corporate default. The book seeks to explore the interaction between the risk of default and enterprise risk, and their joint impact on firm valuation. It aims to address the problem of how corporations should deal with risk and how they can maximize shareholder value. It also examines various conceptual ways to measure risk, thereby bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and pragmatic application.The book combines sound conceptual analytics and empirical tools to provide useful information and tangible guidelines for firms, risk managers and financial analysts and advisors. Scholars and professionals with an interest in risk management, and managers, owners, creditors and potential investors in enterprises will find Risk, Value and Default a particularly useful guide to understanding the relationship between risk generation, risk management and corporate value and default from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Book Venture Capital  An Overview

Download or read book Venture Capital An Overview written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1.0, , language: English, abstract: Even though the reasoning to invest money into venture capital (VC) funds may vary according to the type of the investor, according to Bygrave et al. (1999), the main reasons include: First, investors expect high returns on capital invested into VC funds. While a return of 30% p.a. was common, most investors nowadays are seeking for consistent 15-25% p.a., which is in line with comparing portfolio companies to quoted companies and adding a risk premium. Second, since VC target companies have a low correlation with quoted stocks, investors might aim for diversification effects for their overall portfolio. Third, as VC investments are highly illiquid, they provide a return premium. Moreover, the long-term horizon these investments especially fits investors, such as pension funds which have long-term liabilities. Fourth, beyond financial reasoning, investors might also consider VC due to relatively cheap access to the research and development of young companies, leading towards new ideas and products. However, since focus is shifting towards later-stage financing, this becomes less prevailing. Lastly, since young companies typically realise fast growth, they tend to create significant employment possibilities and thus represent a further investment objective of especially government-related bodies. A further reason includes that many start-ups remain in the private market for many years, due to the large supply of private capital as well as the scrutiny of public markets. This phenomenon results in start-ups realising their high-growth phase while still being private. As a result, investors increasingly turn to the private VC market in order to benefit from these high-growth phases. Besides, investors in the VC market may aim to escape the high volatility inherent in public markets due to its very liquid nature.

Book The Routledge Companion to Management Buyouts

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Management Buyouts written by Mike Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management Buyouts (MBOs) first came to prominence in the US during the early 1980s, and have subsequently become a global phenomenon and a highly significant transaction within the corporate restructuring landscape Although much recent attention has focused on private equity (PE) backed buyouts, these are only a subset of the total MBO market. The Routledge Companion to Management Buyouts takes a much broader definition, reviewing the current state of research and theory and where further developments are likely to occur and incorporating PE and non-PE backed buyouts, as well as variations such as management buy-ins and management-employee buyouts. It goes beyond the purely financial perspective, exploring the many different aspects of management buyouts and incorporating related disciplines including strategy, organizational change, and HRM providing the first truly comprehensive authoritative resource on the topic. Expertly edited, and drawing on international scholarship, this unique volume will be an invaluable sourcebook on MBOs for researchers and advanced students as well as those interested in the broader areas of corporate restructuring and ownership change.

Book Private Equity

Download or read book Private Equity written by H. Kent Baker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past few decades, private equity (PE) has attracted considerable attention from investors, practitioners, and academicians. In fact, a substantial literature on PE has emerged. PE offers benefits for institutional and private wealth management clients including diversification and enhancement of risk-adjusted returns. However, several factors such as liquidity concerns, regulatory restrictions, and the lack of transparency limit the attractiveness of some PE options to investors. The latest volume in the Financial Markets and Investments Series, Private Equity: Opportunities and Risks offers a synthesis of the theoretical and empirical literature on PE in both emerging and developed markets. Editors H. Kent Baker, Greg Filbeck, Halil Kiymaz and their co-authors examine PE and provide important insights about topics such as major types of PE (venture capital, leveraged buyouts, mezzanine capital, and distressed debt investments), how PE works, performance and measurement, uses and structure, and trends in the market. Readers can gain an in-depth understanding about PE from academics and practitioners from around the world. Private Equity: Opportunities and Risks provides a fresh look at the intriguing yet complex subject of PE. A group of experts takes readers through the core topics and issues of PE, and also examines the latest trends and cutting-edge developments in the field. The coverage extends from discussing basic concepts and their application to increasingly complex and real-world situations. This new and intriguing examination of PE is essential reading for anyone hoping to gain a better understanding of PE, from seasoned professionals to those aspiring to enter the demanding world of finance.
