Mike Hicks' connection to investing in mid-market companies dates back to 1994, when he worked at the EBRD, contributing to the creation of the first private equity fund in Romania. After overseeing a joint venture between Creditanstalt Investment Bank and Advent International, he developed a keen interest in enhancing investor-management interactions, dedicating over 20 years to this pursuit.In 2010, Mike founded Catalysis, following several years of leading a similar practice at Grant Thornton. With the support of skilled colleagues, he has managed over 375 projects since the company's inception, Mike advocates the importance of coachability and partnership in navigating the complex landscape of mid-market firms.In this episode, Dominic explores the myths and realities of private equity as Mike dismantles common misconceptions about management and investment partnerships. Highlighting the nuanced dynamics between investors and business leaders, he explains that in smaller companies, collaboration often trumps the fear of management changes. Discover The Role of Private Equity in Business Growth: Private equity plays a crucial role in providing funding for businesses, particularly those lacking tangible assets for traditional bank loans, such as tech companies. It serves as an alternative to the UK's shrinking bank funding market by offering equity, facilitating business growth, and providing management teams a pathway to personal wealth.Misconceptions About Private Equity: Management teams often face misconceptions about private equity investment. Some assume operations will continue unchanged, while others fear losing control to investors. In truth, investors aim to add value and collaborate for improvements without seizing control of the business.Team and Organisational Alignment: Aligning the management team's capabilities with the business's needs is crucial. This match depends on the business model's complexity, market conditions, and growth goals. Businesses often require guidance to optimise their leadership teams to effectively meet these demands.Governance and Strategy in Management: Effective governance should balance strategy formulation and operational execution without overwhelming management. Boards should prioritise maintaining this balance to ensure alignment with value creation rather than focusing solely on financial oversight. Keeping boards small and focused helps avoid operational inefficiencies.Mistakes in Scaling Businesses with Private Equity: Common mistakes in scaling businesses post-private equity deal include neglecting due diligence insights, misunderstanding strategy, underestimating organisational inertia, confusing change activity with results, hastily making key personnel decisions, and suffering from unbalanced governance. Avoiding these pitfalls is essential for the success of private-equity-backed ventures.Higher Multiples with Demonstrated Scalability: Businesses that can demonstrate scalability, such as sustainable growth and robust operational capacity, are more likely to attract higher multiples and favourable responses from investors during deals, highlighting the importance of long-term strategic planning.Book recommendations:Rory Sutherland - Alchemy

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, November 21, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. As more people splurge on travel, the hospitality sector finds itself in a comfortable place. Dipti Sharma writes that several hotel-related IPOs are planned in the near future. Examples include Brigade Hotel Ventures, Schloss Bangalore, and Oyo. Strong travel demand and government initiatives have helped the sector bounce back from a disastrous pandemic period. Room occupancy rates are at near all-time highs, and the industry is likely to reach a total valuation of $475 billion by the end of the decade. Both vacation as well as business hubs are seeing an uptick in business, leading the charge for public listings. VIP Industries is in talks with a global private equity firm for a stake sale. Sneha Shah reports that Advent International is looking to acquire a controlling stake in the the luggage maker. The promoter group, led by Dilip Piramal, has been looking to reduce its stake in the company for more than a year. Currently, VIP has a market value of more than ₹6,500 crore. The promoters are hoping for a premium of around 10 to 15% on top of that valuation. VIP has a 44% market share in the organise luggage sector, but faces stiff competition from up and coming brands. Did you know that the Adani Group had a 5G license? That doesn't mean India's beleaguered telecom market is getting another player — large corporates buy spectrum for a variety of reasons. However, Gulveen Aulakh reports that the Group is looking to surrender its share of the spectrum it owns. It had paid ₹212 crore in the 2022 auctions for the spectrum, but maintained inactivity. Since there isn't a rollout, the government has been imposing penalties on Adani for failing to do so. Adani Enterprises had bought the spectrum via a subsidiary to develop a private 5G network at the company's facilities, but that hasn't materialised. Until the early 2000s, outsourcing in India meant business process outsourcing (BPO) call centres. Today, the business has evolved, morphing into ‘global capability centres' that serve high-end strategic and innovation needs of US-headquartered companies. India is still attractive because we have plenty of tech talent and relatively cheap real estate. The Karnataka government, sensing a long-term opportunity, has introduced an official GCC Policy. What is it and how will it help GCCs (and jobs) grow in India? Madhurima Nandy explains in today's Mint Primer.  It hurts to lose ₹50. Imagine how difficult it would be to write off a whopping $500 million. But that's what Prosus, a tech investor, did after the Byju's debacle. Prosus was quick to lick its wounds as it secured a major victory with Swiggy listing publicly. Prosus has been prolific in India, securing deals worth more than $8 billion across 24 transactions. Sneha Shah and Ranjani Raghavan write that unlike traditional venture capital funds, Prosus uses its own balance sheet to invest in companies. This approach allows it to take a long-term approach without having to worry about securing quick, profitable exits. All companies are subject to market fluctuations, and between Byju's and Swiggy, Prosus knows it best.

This episode is sponsored by AlixPartners The Disruption Matters special podcast miniseries is back for a third season, and this year, leading industry experts discuss how private markets can best use today's technologies to create value. In this fifth episode, we discuss tech's role in recruiting, onboarding and developing talent. Along the way, we address how best to recruit Gen Z, the limits of AI in this particular arena and how tech is changing the nature of talent management as a discipline. With tech tackling so many of the rudimentary tasks around talent management, human capital professionals will be freed up to focus on the more complicated tasks around motivation, evaluation and leadership. In short, tech may make some duties simpler, but the key challenges of managing people will still need to be addressed by humans. Guests include Christopher P Trendler, managing director and head of portfolio talent at Madison Dearborn Partners; Nicole Jones, talent director, portfolio support group at Advent International; John Sander, principal, portfolio solutions at Lightyear Capital; and Ted Bililies, the global leader of transformative leadership at AlixPartners.

Cuando supe de la renegociación que desarrollaba el Gobierno con la empresa concesionaria de los aeropuertos pregunté a uno de los negociadores si no era más fácil y rentable finiquitar el contrato. La respuesta del entendido fue:” No es tán fácil. Concesionar un bien público no es malo en sí mismo. El tema está en las condiciones del contrato” Me explicaron que la tendencia mundial es a concesionar los servicios aeroportuarios parcial o totalmente y que Vinci es la empresa líder mundial en ese rango. El ex presidente Leonel Fernández otorgó la concesión para la operación de seis aeropuertos en 1999. En septiembre del 2008 la compañía Advent International compró el cien por cien de las acciones de Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (AERODOM) al Grupo Hazoury, a Vancouver Airport Services y a otros inversionistas locales, cuyo importe de la transacción no fue precisado en ese entonces. En diciembre del 2015, el principal accionista de Aerodom,  Advent Airports, B.V, anunció que suscribió con la francesa Vinci Airports un contrato de compra venta de sus acciones en esa empresa concesionaria para la gestión de los aeropuertos dominicanos. Del 99 para acá han pasado 24 años, los aeropuertos han pasado por tres manos, las operaciones de compra y venta de la concesión han sido sumas más que millonarias y no entiendo cómo es que eso no han significado nada para el Estado. Yo supongo que el contrato original con el grupo Hazoury, que ahora quiere abrir otro aeropuerto en el Este, fue más o menos “Te voy a dar los aeropuertos para que te ganes algo” Traté de conseguir el contrato original y lo más que pude encontrar en una publicación de la revista Rumbo de la época fueron los siguientes datos: al momento de ser premiados con la concesión AERODOM tenía un capital autorizado de 100 millones de pesos y un capital suscrito y pagado de 10 millones de pesos. Gastó 30 millones de pesos en la preparación de la propuesta para la obtención de la concesión  y se comprometió a una inversión de hasta 417 millones de dólares en los seis aeropuertos concesionados. Es evidente que ese último compromiso no se cumplió y sería saber cuánto dinero generó en beneficios para la empresa concesionaria en estos 24 años. La suerte que tienen algunas fortunas dominicanas no se acaba nunca y el tiempo lo borra todo. Mucha de esa gente enriquecida hasta cuatro generaciones con los recursos y facilidades que da el estado dominicano nos enrostra nuestra condición de pobres. Uno se tiene que sentar a esperar cuando carajo es que van a ahorcar blancos. 

While current sentiment around private equity investment in the consumer sector is mixed due to its exposure to inflation and consumer demand, sponsors are still finding attractive opportunities to deploy.

Any interest borrowers pay is used to cover the operating costs of the microlenders that support them. Investors do sometimes incur losses, however.By asking billionaires who have joined the Giving Pledge (the Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett-inspired promise to give at least half their wealth away in their lifetimes) to invest on philanthropic terms could allow the money to be deployed at scale and recycled repeatedly.On that basis, the money can do infinite amounts of good.Sean wrote the book Solving the Giving Pledge Bottleneck to develop some of these ideas. He's since continued to hone the concept.Sean sees his ability to open new paths as his superpower; he's using it now to facilitate moving massive amounts of capital toward social impact.AI Podcast Summary* Devin Thorpe interviews Sean Davis, founder of Merton Capital Partners.* Merton Capital Partners advises on investing philanthropic capital to solve social and environmental issues, including affordable housing.* Sean is concerned that the money pledged by billionaires through the Giving Pledge is not being effectively deployed.* He proposes a model for capital to be invested in affordable housing with the goal of sustainable, low-cost rents.* The model involves partnering with large real estate developers to build thousands of units of affordable housing.* The philanthropic capital acts as equity in the projects, ensuring low rents in perpetuity.* Merton Capital Partners plays the role of advocate and investment firm in this model.* Sean believes that this model aligns well with the goals of the Giving Pledge and allows philanthropists to ease into giving by providing the profits on their capital rather than the capital itself.* Sean identifies his superpower as trailblazing and finding new paths in the social impact space.* Interested individuals can connect with Merton Capital Partners through LinkedIn and learn more about the model in Sean's book Solving the Giving Pledge Bottleneck.How to Develop Opening Paths As a SuperpowerSean likens his superpower to childhood experiences. “I grew up in Colombia. It's like I have a machete, and I'm opening up a trail in the jungle, and now it's like a road.”He shared some thinking about how to develop or strengthen your ability to find frontiers you can explore to find opportunities for trailblazing.When I sit next to somebody in an airplane, maybe they're a neurosurgeon, and they have a particular angle, I'll keep asking questions until I get to that frontier where he doesn't or she doesn't know. Then I start asking questions at that frontier. And it's super interesting to me. So I think that could be a technique that's practiced. What happens is that the person also leaves delighted because you are—and this is maybe something I'm like a curator of people's enthusiasm—by getting to that point, people are super enthusiastic, and it's so wonderful to see. I almost get to dance in that fire of enthusiasm that they have. And I know nothing of the subject. But I come away just happy because you were kind of—the two lights were ignited, and they were brighter together.By following Sean's example and counsel, you can develop the ability to explore frontiers and blaze new trails, perhaps developing a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileSean Davis (he/him):Founder and Managing Partner, Merton Capital PartnersAbout Merton Capital Partners: Merton develops ways to invest philanthropy in partnership with Fortune 500 companies, such as real estate developers, allowing philanthropists to deploy more funds with greater impact.Website: www.mertoncp.comBiographical Information:Mr. Davis is the Founder and Managing Partner of Merton Capital Partners.

The company has expanded its palliative care services through partnerships with hospitals and other managed care providers, according to AccentCare CEO Stephan Rodgers. “We've got a very large palliative care practice,” Rodgers told PCN. “What we've seen to make it really work is you either have to be in the hospital, where we've taken over palliative care in the hospital, or you have to be contracted with managed care and get it at some kind of risk, because community-based palliative care is very difficult to make operate right now from a profitable [perspective].”

Reliance Capital's resolution has received tepid response as only four firms have made financial bids for the entire company, including its subsidiaries, under the insolvency process. IndusInd, Torrent, Oaktree Capital Management, and B-Right Realestate have submitted bids in the range of just Rs 4,000 crore. When the resolution process began, over 50 firms had submitted Expression of Interest for various assets, but only a handful of bidders were engaged. The bids have to be approved by a lender's committee. Lukewarm response for RCap asset: 1) IndusInd, Torrent, Oaktree Capital Management, and B-Right Realestate placed bids 2) All bids were placed in the range of Rs 4,000 crore. The process for asset sale of debt-ridden Anil Ambani's Reliance Capital had kick-started in November last year, when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) superseded its board for payment defaults and initiated bankruptcy proceedings. Y Nageshwara Rao was appointed administrator for the corporate insolvency resolution process. After Srei Group's shadow banking arm and DHFL, Reliance Capital is the third NBFC to go under insolvency under IBC. Reliance Capital has a consolidated debt of about Rs 50,000 crore. But to expedite the sale process, the lenders hived off two entities of RCap --- Reliance Commercial Finance and Reliance Home Finance --- into a trust for a separate resolution process. It was done so that the bidders don't deal with debt of these two entities, which is around Rs 25,000 crore. Secured creditors have claimed Rs 22,122 crore and unsecured creditors around Rs 3,212 crore after the company was sent to insolvency. Major lenders include Life Insurance Corporation, YES Bank among others. Reliance Capital's lenders had offered two options to all the bidders. Under the first option, companies had to bid for Reliance Capital as a whole, including its subsidiary companies. Under the option-2, bidders have the freedom to bid separately for individual arms of Reliance Capital. Due to a tepid response from the bidders, the lenders earlier had to extend the timeline for submission of bids and the resolution process several times. The deadline for completion of the corporate insolvency resolution process of the company is November 1, 2022. Reliance Capital's eight businesses were on the block for bidding including general insurance, securities and asset reconstruction businesses. Under the second option, Reliance Capital's general insurance received bids from Piramal Group, Zurich Insurance Group, and Advent International. While, the company's ARC business got bids from Jindal Steel & Power and UV Asset Reconstruction Company, Choice Equity, Global Fincap, and Grand Bhawan have placed bids for other assets of Reliance Capital. Please include the byte: Ashvin Parekh, Managing Director, Ashvin Parekh Advisory Services LLP says, the bids for Reliance Capital assets were on the lower side. Lenders have few options left before approving the bids. But the poor response indicates that lenders are in for massive haircuts. It also showcases bidders' concerns, especially over equity of Reliance General Insurance, held by IDBI Trusteeship on the behalf of Credit Suisse. IDBI Trusteeship has refused to release these shares for the ongoing NCLT led resolution process. The condition to make all-cash bids also proved a hindrance in the resolution process   Mukesh Chand, Senior Counsel, Economic Laws Practice says the committee of creditors will likely negotiate with proposed bidders. CoC will try and work out a best possible resolution plan with the bidders. If viable options don't come out in negotiation process, big haircut is on the cards.  As the bids are placed, the ball is in the lender's court now. They have to take a call on the value of bids and evaluate other options, including negotiating a better deal with the proposed bidders. Whatever may be the case, it is in the creditors' best interest to comple
