PRIVATE EQUITY & VENTURE CAPITAL – OUTPERFORMING THE MARKETS

Since the beginning of time, investors have focused on stocks and bonds, shifting their allocations between these traditional asset classes with the times. Alternative assets like private equity and venture capital were rarely considered and poorly understood, since the traditional assets were considered safe and reliable. But the world has changed: major equity markets have traded sideways with growing volatility through the past several years, and fixed income investments are near zero real returns. The traditional model is broken as investors rethink the risk/reward equation and look for alternatives.

Private equity and venture capital can provide exactly what investors are looking for today: strong returns, disconnected from most of the noise in the stock market. The opportunity to create new companies and transform existing ones far away from the spotlight of public market analysts, quarterly earnings pressures and predatory short sellers creates the platform for value creation. And active management by highly skilled private investors is the secret sauce. These investors jump right into their portfolio companies, working alongside management to truly transform these businesses. How do they do it? The 2012 CVCA Annual Conference will show you!
