Oxford, Oxfordshire (PRWEB UK) 22 January 2014
A new methodology for estimating private equity returns has taken the guesswork out of analysing the ebb and flow of performance in this asset class, and suggests that these markets may be more volatile than was previously assumed. This could have a major impact on the decisions made by institutional investors such as, pension funds, endowments, colleges and foundations.
“The value of investments in listed companies is easy to measure. You just have to look at the share price,” said Ludovic Phalippou from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, one of the academics involved in the project. “But valuing private equities has always been more a matter of opinion, a little more sophisticated than dinner party discussions about what people’s own houses are worth. Our methodology should change that.”
The methodology, developed by an international team of academics (Andrew Ang, Bingxu Chen, both at Columbia University, and Will Goetzmann at Yale University, together with Oxford’s Phalippou) has been designed to give investors and commentators a more accurate picture of the risks and returns of investing in private equities such as real estate, venture capital, buyout and debt. Instead of focusing on measures such as volume (commonly used to assess property markets and other private equity assets), and subjective valuations (commonly used in venture capital and buyout), Phalippou and the team have used only the actual cash flows paid and received by investors in different funds to estimate returns measured over time.
The result was an index demonstrating the dynamics of private equity between 1993 and 2011, which allowed the researchers to test theories about the cyclical nature of private equity returns.
“We found that the cycles shown in our index made sense when compared with commentary about the markets at the time,” said Phalippou. “However, they also revealed a greater degree of volatility within the overall cycle than standard industry indexes. For example, the volatility of our cash flow-based return time series for buyout funds is 25% per annum compared to 11% for the Cambridge Associates buyout index. Similarly, the NCREIF real estate index has a volatility of only 5%, while our estimated volatility of private real estate funds is 19%.”
Phalippou argues that the index shows that, over time, private equity investments do outperform a size-weighted index of listed companies. However, compared with the average listed company, and/or correcting for risk, “Returns are at par at best.”

Bellevue, Washington (PRWEB) July 11, 2013
Because access to startup capital can prove to be one of the most difficult components of growing and expanding a company’s operations, it can often prove a pain-point for getting businesses to the next stage. Angel investors looking to capitalize on growth can now access funds available to within their retirement accounts by utilizing a self-directed IRA with checkbook control.
The checkbook control feature of self-directed IRA account holders allows the investor to access funds within the retirement account by simply writing a check. Gone are the days of needing custodian approval for transferring funds and investing. When it comes to investing in timely deal in real estate and capital formation for profitable business ventures, the IRA becomes a source of funds.
“Most of our partner companies have seen greater growth in areas outside the United States,” says Troy Jenkins, VP of Marketing. “There exists a bit more risk, but we feel those who’re interested in the phenomenal tax-free returns that come with investing in private placement and private equity outside the United States, there are very large opportunities there.”
Silverstone partners help draft private placement offerings for companies looking to offer-up equity as an enticement to obtain investment. Private placement deals are beneficial over public offerings in a number of key ways. First, they do not require the regulatory oversight, time commitment or cost to implement. Second, after the deal is done, privacy remains helpful as the company looks to grow its operations. Finally, private placement can mean huge returns if the company eventually does well. But there are also greater risks.
“Private placements also involve a great deal more risk than other investment opportunities,” says Jenkins. Consequently, most self-directed investors avoid “all-in” strategies and still use their self-directed account to invest in multiple private deals as well as the Fortune 500. “It’s a strategy that involves higher risk to your retirement funds and is not something everyone can or should commit to,” Jenkins says. “You have to be comfortable with the idea of losing whatever money you invest, which is not something that would work for most retirement account holders.”
As in any investment opportunity, whether in private placement deals or otherwise, Silverstone partners require investors be accredited and the company nor its partners make any warrants as to the returns or risk threshold any investment may provide.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 09, 2013
Private Equity Headhunters LLC, a firm that is well known for its dedication to finding executives well paying jobs, recently revealed the findings of its 2013 third quarter. The results, which were unveiled in a new blog post by the company, show that its hiring activity corresponds to industry trends.
According to the blog post, Private Equity Headhunters LLC conducted 207 interviews with portfolio companies and fresh startups. About 729 presentations were sent directly to managing partners and hiring authorities from 72 private equity and venture capital groups, all of whom expressed interest in finding C-level candidates for their companies. The C-level candidates were interviewed for 67 CEO, 19 CFO, 9 CIO, 8 COO, and 96 VP/director openings.
In the third quarter, the salaries ranged from $ 175,000 to $ 500,000, and the amounts of generated revenue spanned $ 5 million to $ 450 million. There were also 111 interviews with next steps and more than 37 job offers in the negotiation phase. Private Equity Headhunters LLC added that more than 100 qualified interviews were in the last stages, an announcement that could mean over 60 job offers for senior-level candidate-clients.
“We also noticed a decrease in hiring activity in third quarter, an observation that is consistent with industry trends,” stated an article available on Private Equity Headhunters LLC’s website. “Despite an increase in new job orders in third quarter, actual hiring activity remains slow. Based on last decade’s survey data from the executive recruiting industry, Private Equity Headhunters LLC anticipates the job order fulfillment rate to increase drastically in the last quarter, especially because employers prefer to wait until last quarter to make offers.”
Private Equity Headhunters LLC plans to release the final numbers for its fourth quarter in late January 2014.
