FINA 6233 - Private Equity


Credits: 2

Examines the breadth of the private equity category as it relates to the assets, investment styles, and structures that this term encompass. Discusses the risk and return characteristics that makes the asset class interesting to investors. Provides a quick introduction to hedge funds and liquid alternatives, but focuses primarily on what is considered traditional private equity leveraged buyouts (LBOs) and its closely related cousin, private debt or mezzanine debt. Examines how private equity companies assess investments (equity and debt) both qualitatively and quantitatively by examining deal team memorandums and investment committee discussions. The class relies on weekly cases to examine these issues, and students are expected to be highly engaged every week in these discussions. The course features discussions with private equity investors as they relate to the cases and broadly on PE investing and due diligence. Prerequisites: FINA 6377  or FINA 6211  or FINA 6223
