- Title
Quest FOR Returns Boosts Private Equity.
- Authors
Sweeney, Paul
- Abstract
The article discusses the development of the merger and acquisition process in the United States. Private equity buyouts have become increasingly common and the marketplace for buying and selling ownership positions in companies has been increasingly streamlined. The standardization of company's valuation is described. Prices are rising due to more competition. Institutional investors with pension and endowment funds and those seeking an alternative to Wall Street have played a role in the growth of private equity. The fees charged by executives and the managerial role of limited partners are addressed.
