Global Opportunities in the Middle Market (Privcap)

March 6, 2012 - PRLog -- It is becoming more and more complex to be a middle-market GP. Here are just two examples of this trend: today private equity firms must help their small and medium-sized portfolio companies compete on a global stage, and increasingly GPs must manage a perpetual investor-relations effort around the world and throughout the life of the fund.

These and other points are detailed in the Privcap program “Global Portfolio, Global IR” by TJ Maloney, President of Lincolnshire Management, Terrence Mullen, a Partner at Arsenal Capital Partners, and John Coogan, a Partner with Duane Morris.

Topics of discussion include why US middle-market companies must face global opportunities, what tools GPs can bring to their portfolio companies to help them go global, why GPs must look around the world for LPs, how the fundraising market is now one of perpetual effort, and why there is some danger of an LP/GP “disconnect” forming around term negotiations and investor expectations. The program also includes an expert Q&A session with Gary Levy of J.H. Cohn, the series sponsor.
