Abstract:

Private equity activity in 2006 hit post-bubble highs, with substantial increases in both venture capital and leveraged buy-out fundraising and deal flow. The 2 largest VC and 4 largest LBO funds ever all debuted in 2006. Further, nine of the ten largest leveraged buy-out deals in the history of US capital markets were announced in 2006, and 17 of the 20 largest have taken place over the last 18 months. Thomson Financial Strategic Research set out to investigate trends in the private equity marketplace, and the potential implications for public companies. We suggest several key implications for management to consider.
