Abstract:

Private Equity (PE) practice is shrouded in secrecy. In Asia, the PE practice is in its infancy
but opportunities for acquisition abound. Even in a capitalistic society such as the US,
people's perception of PE is mostly negative even though in many instances PE firms have
acquired companies and made them more efficient and competitive. In many cases, PE firms
have unleashed the locked up potential resulting in substantial profits and job growth. In this
discussion we will take a detailed look at how PE works in the US, which companies become
targets of PE firms, and how operational efficiencies are improved by PE firms. This talk
would open PE firms' 'black box' operations.
