Consequences of Obama’s Proposed EV Tax at Private Equity Happy Hour in New York City

Sept. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Individual and institutional investors attending Private Equity Happy Hour, http://www.PEHappyHour.com, on Tuesday September 20, will discuss the potential consequences of the recent provision in the proposed American Jobs Act for private equity firms. The enterprise-value tax proposal calls for profits from investment management partnerships to be taxed at ordinary tax rates of 35 percent rather than the current 15 percent capital gains tax rate. Private Equity Happy Hour receptions are great opportunities for them to speak with unprecedented candidness about their trade, both opportunities and challenges.

Private equity is generally considered equity capital that is not quoted on a public exchange. Private equity consists of investors and funds that make investments directly into private companies or conduct buyouts of public companies that result in a delisting of public equity. Capital for private equity is raised from retail and institutional investors, and can be used to fund new technologies, expand working capital within an owned company, make acquisitions, or to strengthen a balance sheet.  

As referred in Investopedia, the majority of private equity consists of institutional investors and accredited investors who can commit large sums of money for long periods of time. Private equity investments often demand long holding periods to allow for a turnaround of a distressed company or a liquidity event such as an IPO or sale to a public company.
