Podcasts about Private equity

Zölle, Steuer- und Regulierungsänderungen, aber auch die anhaltend schwierige gesamtwirtschaftliche Lage, führen dazu, dass Unternehmen sich wieder stärker auf ihr Kerngeschäft konzentrieren – und im Rahmen von Carve-Outs Einheiten abstoßen. Die Beteiligungsgruppe Aequita ist auf solche Deals spezialisiert. Im aktuellen Podcast spricht Simon Schulz, Partner bei dem Investor, über die Besonderheiten internationaler Carve-Outs, die Herausforderungen, die mit solchen Cross-Border-Übernahmen einhergehen – und erklärt, warum sich der Kauf dennoch lohnt.

Private-Equity-Investoren entern den Prüfer- und Beratermarkt. Wie verändert das die Gehälter der Partner? Und verliert die Partner-Rolle an Wert? Top-Headhunter Hellmuth Wolf berichtet bei FINANCE-TV.Vor Kurzem noch undenkbar, nun passiert es immer öfter: Ein Private-Equity-Investor steigt bei einer Prüfungs- oder Beratungsgesellschaft ein. Jüngste Beispiele waren etwa PKF WMS oder WTS. Viele Mitarbeiter der Prüfungs- und Beratungshäuser – vor allem die Partner – fragen sich nun: Was bedeutet das für meine Karriere? Immerhin übernimmt der Investor Anteile am Unternehmen, welche vorher den Partnern gehörten, und möchte entsprechend mitbestimmen.Klar ist, dass die Gehaltsstrukturen der Partner wohl angepasst werden müssten, sobald ein Investor zusätzliche Anteile hält, meint Hellmuth Wolf, Managing Partner bei Signium. „Jede Gesellschaft wird mit den potentiellen neuen Equity Partnern reden müssen, weil diese vielleicht ein anderes Vergütungsmodell bekommen werden als die bisherigen Equity Partner“, so Wolf, der unter anderem Wirtschaftsprüfer und Steuerberater auf Partnerebene vermittelt.Erhöht Private Equity den Druck?Hinzu kommt: Private-Equity-Investoren müssen Rendite machen – das dürfte den Druck, der in der Wirtschaftsprüfer- und Beraterbranche ohnehin schon hoch ist, noch einmal mehr erhöhen. „Es könnte sein, dass ein Private-Equity-Unternehmen sich von Partnern trennt, die auf Dauer nicht performen“, warnt Hellmuth Wolf. Doch er sieht auch Vorteile in einem PE-Einstieg, vor allem für Partner, die sich auf die reine Beratungstätigkeit konzentrieren wollen. „Diesen wird Arbeit abgenommen, was Strategie und interne Themen angeht.“Wird die Partner-Rolle durch einen Private-Equity-Einstieg entwertet? Passen die Kulturen zusammen? Und gab es schon Kandidaten, die sich von einem Arbeitgeber abgewandt haben, weil ein Investor eingestiegen ist? Über das und mehr spricht Hellmuth Wolf bei FINANCE-TV.

What happens when it's time to sell? Every acquirer looks at your business differently. In this special episode of Built to Sell Radio, John Warrillow breaks down the four most common buyer profiles and explains how each thinks about acquiring a company. Along the way, you'll hear clips from past guests from our Inside the Mind of an Acquirer series. 

Kimberly Flynn, President at XA Investments, discusses the recent executive order signed by President Trump that allows a dramatic expansion of alternative assets to be part of 401(k) and other retirement plans. While the headlines have made it seem like crypto bros will blow up their retirement plans with alternatives, Flynn discusses how many firms running life-cycle and target-date funds may decide to make allocations to more alternative asset classes, which could create opportunities for interval funds or closed-end funds. She also discusses when and if Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies might be available in some from of closed-end offering.

Wat er deze week gebeurde bij Nvidia lijkt een beetje typerend voor de huidige situatie op de beurs. Geen koersspektakel zoals gebruikelijk bij het boegbeeld van de AI-revolutie, maar een wat lauwe reactie.Moeten we ons zorgen gaan maken om het groeitempo van Nvidia en daarmee samenhangend de hele AI-sector? Pieter Kort duikt met IEX-analist en Nvidia-watcher Hildo Laman de cijfers in.Met de andere gast aan tafel, Jelle Postma van Capler, verkennen we een beleggingscategorie die niet vaak aan de orde komt in de IEX Beleggerspodcast, maar wel 90% van het bedrijfsleven bestrijkt, namelijk Private Equity.

As a passive investor, one way to reduce risk and also participate in the upside usually reserved for General Partners, is to invest in a GP fund. By investing in a GP fund, you get to participate in the fee income generated by the fund while also sharing in the upside economics of the individual deals. Instead of achieving mid-teen returns, you can potentially do considerably better, even as high as mid 20's. John Azar, Founder, CEO, and Fund Manager of Peak 15 Capital, is a Private Equity expert and capital allocator who provides investors access to these attractive economics through his multi-asset class alpha fund.

If you're only judging based on what's happening in the world and the financial markets, there's never a "perfect" time to retire. But 2025 is throwing a bunch of extra variables at seniors that are adding more complexity to an already complicated decision. Businesses are changing. The rules around investing are changing. And, most importantly, your life is changing. Your financial plan has to be flexible enough to keep pace while also maintaining focus on the best path towards your personal long-term retirement goals. On today's show, we discuss two listener questions that touch on alternative investments and how to think about portfolio management at various stages of your life.

This episode is a rebroadcast of host Auren Hoffman's appearance on the CMO Confidential Podcast.Auren shares why he believes vendor management is the #1 skill for future executives—and why most companies should rent world-class capabilities rather than hire executives they can't fully utilize. From “scaffolding” young talent to his provocative views on procurement's negative value, Booz Allen, MBAs, and the transformation of private equity, this episode is packed with contrarian insights for CMOs, CEOs, and founders alike.

Stephen Zubiago, CEO and Managing Partner of Nixon Peabody LLP, joins hosts Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg to share what it takes to lead an AmLaw 100 firm through growth, competition, and change. He talks about how Nixon Peabody LLP aligns talent strategy with client needs, develops attorneys at every level, and builds a culture where collaboration and entrepreneurial drive matter as much as expertise. Their discussion explores the firm's focus on industries like financial services, real estate and affordable housing, healthcare, and technology, and why being selective about expansion is key to long-term strength.   This episode also looks at the bigger shifts reshaping the legal profession, including the race for talent, pressure to scale, and the rise of private equity in professional services. Stephen explains why Nixon Peabody LLP has turned down outside capital, how flexible remote work policies have strengthened retention after COVID, and why artificial intelligence is changing the way law is practiced. At the core of his leadership approach is a simple principle: the firm moves forward when its people do.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Stephen Zubiago's Career Journey 02:49 Vision for Growth at Nixon Peabody LLP 03:54 Attracting and Retaining Top Legal Talent 04:57 Key Practice Areas and Industry Focus 06:33 Balancing Firm Size with Culture and Market Position 11:17 What Differentiates Nixon Peabody LLP 14:01 Private Equity and the Future of Law Firms 16:01 The Partnership Model and Capital Needs 18:16 Managing Pricing Pressures in Legal Services 23:21 Navigating Challenges and Future Opportunities 24:01 Remote Work, Flexibility, and Retention 28:53 Innovation, Industry Focus, and AI in Legal Practice   Links Connect with Stephen Zubiago: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-zubiago-3141815/ Website Bio: https://www.nixonpeabody.com/people/zubiago-stephen-d   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrosenberg/ Company Web Profile: https://www.baretzbrunelle.com/howard-rosenberg   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  LinkedIn Company Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/columbus-street/ Columbus Street Website: https://www.columbus-street.com/  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Private credit, or loans by non-bank lenders, has grown rapidly in recent years. This lending is even approaching the volume of some traditional sources of business credit, like bank loans. As the rise of private credit funds changes the way companies borrow money, it's also creating potential implications for financial stability. John Levin is a senior markets specialist in the Supervision, Regulation & Credit Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. He is the co-author of two studies examining the rise of private credit: “Could the Growth of Private Credit Pose a Risk to Financial System Stability?" and "Bank Lending to Private Equity and Private Credit Funds: Insights from Regulatory Data."

Die Bau- und Infrastrukturbranche steckt im Wandel: hohe Zinsen, geopolitische Risiken und Nachfolgeprobleme setzen Unternehmen wie Investoren unter Druck. „Auf der einen Seite haben wir den Hochbau, der sich sehr stark gewandelt hat. Weg vom Neubau von Einfamilienhäusern hin zu Neubau von Mehrfamilienhäusern. Und Sanierung ist der Wachstumstreiber. Im Infrastrukturbereich haben wir den großen Bereich der Nachfrage im Energie-Infrastruktur-Ausbau, aber auch beim Verkehrswegeausbau - das wird uns in den nächsten Jahren sehr stark beschäftigen. Gleichzeitig haben wir aber Kostensteigerungseffekte: einmal der Zinseffekt und dann Personal- und Materialkosten", so Christoph Blepp. Der Managing Partner bei S&B Strategy weiter: „Das Thema Nachfolge ist ein wichtiges Thema. Uns sagen viele Eigentümer dass sie in der eigenen Familie oder im Team keine Nachfolgelösung haben. Da ist Private Equity prädestiniert dafür, hier zu helfen. Viele Eigentümer wollen ihr Lebenswerk in gute Hände geben. Dann reicht Kapital nicht, sondern tiefes Wissen über die Industrie ist ganz wichtig. Drei Faktoren sind wichtig: People, Process und Price." Alle Details im Interview von Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://www.sandb-strategy.com

Private equity is at a turning point in 2025, and investors are watching closely. Globally, deal value has jumped 19% in the first half, signaling renewed momentum. Here in Southeast Asia, while fundraising has slowed, opportunities are shifting toward resilient sectors like tech, healthcare, and renewables. So what can we expect in the next 6–12 months for Singapore and the region? Which Southeast Asian markets are set to attract more activity in H2 2025 and into 2026—and what will drive that momentum? Luke Pais, Asia-Pacific Private Equity Leader at EY-Parthenon, shares the outlook, hosted by Michelle Martin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Retirement accounts are changing in ways most investors never thought possible. A new executive order could unlock real estate, private equity, and even crypto inside 401(k) plans. In this episode, Ron unpacks what the policy shift really means, clears up misconceptions about risk and liquidity, and explains why cash flow properties may give retirement savers an edge. If you've been waiting for a way to diversify beyond Wall Street, this conversation is one you can't afford to miss.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE   What President Trump's executive order really means for 401(k) investors The hidden pitfalls mainstream media claims about real estate in retirement accounts and Ron's counterpoints How volatility and appreciation really influence long-term retirement income Why diversification across accounts and asset types creates more retirement options Critical questions to ask before tying up your retirement savings in property   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE U.S. Department of Labor SEC.gov Realtor.com Titan Realty Group  Lineage CONNECT WITH US: If you need help with anything in real estate, please email invest@rpcinvest.com  Reach Ron: RP Capital Leave podcast reviews and topic suggestions: iTunes Subscribe and get additional info: Get Real Estate Success Facebook Group: Cash Flow Property Facebook Community Instagram: @ronphillips_ YouTube: RpCapital Get the latest trends and insights: RP Capital Newsletter

It can be a lifeline for a flailing company or run it into the ground. Either way, PE firms make out like bandits.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump recently signed an executive order that could make it easier for everyday Americans to invest their retirement savings in assets that lie outside public markets, such as private equity, cryptocurrency and private real estate. WSJ's Anne Targesen explains how 401ks have evolved, and the risks and rewards of adding these alternative assets to people's retirement accounts. Oyin Adedoyin hosts.

For decades, private equity has been the darling of pension funds, university endowments, and sovereign wealth funds, promising high returns and low volatility. Now, President Donald Trump has made it possible for everyday investors to get in on the magic with his executive order, "Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors.” The order relieves regulatory burdens that limit the access of defined contribution plans, like 401(k)s, to alternative assets such as private equity (but also cryptocurrency and real estate). The hope is to give American workers access to greater choice, diversification, and potential growth towards a comfortable retirement.But Trump's order comes just as longstanding questions about private equity's promise of high returns and low risk are coming to the fore. Has the distribution of returns slowed to a trickle? What does data actually say about private equity's performance, and where is the industry headed? There is also a long standing debate whether private equity is good for society, independent of financial returns.Is private equity actually a ponzi scheme that now threatens the retirements of millions of American workers? To make sense of it all, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Dan Rasmussen, an experienced investor and author who began his career in private equity but has emerged as one of the most prescient critics of the industry. Together, the three of them distill what the state of the industry means for the future welfare of investors, workers, and the American economy as a whole.Bonus: Check out ProMarket's recent series on the impact of private equity in the health care industry.

BA Fam, this week’s BAQA is personal, I brought in my friend and financial powerhouse, Sharon Epperson, CNBC’s Senior Personal Finance Correspondent, to unpack a buzzy headline that had my eyebrow raised: the president’s executive order that could open the door for private equity (and other alternative investments) in your 401k. We break down what this actually means, why you probably won’t be adding a private equity fund to your plan tomorrow, and why you need to know exactly what’s in your portfolio before chasing shiny new investment options. Sharon drops gems on: The $12.2 trillion “nest egg” private firms have their eyes on — and what’s at stake. How to “stay on your mat” financially and focus on your own goals before getting distracted by market hype. The real risks of alternative investments: higher fees, less transparency, and lower liquidity. Why even she had an “oops” moment with her own 401k rollover (and how to avoid it). When it’s worth hiring a financial advisor — and how to find one that fits your needs and budget. Whether you’re just starting your 401k journey or sitting on years of contributions, this convo is your reminder to slow down, check your allocations, and make sure your money is truly working toward your goals — not just Wall Street’s.
