PE/VC Conflict of Interest - Diversification
Theoretically, the investors in VCPE funds are, like investors in publicly traded securities, sufficiently well diversified to ignore idiosyncratic risk. However, the actual managers of the funds are not, even in theory, well diversified, for two reasons: 1. Direct compensation from profits - 2% +...

Weekend Wars: Sell side vs. Buy side
The dream and desolation of the high finance world. Which path to the upper crust of middle-class suburban boredom do I take? Do I jump to the buy side? Do I stick it out in this simian hell of pitch books and Excel? Which is really right for me? A friendly look in the rearview at how simply the...

HP dumpster to PE fundster
By now, we've all hear about the Mark Hurd scandal . But what hasn't been mentioned as readily is the axed-CEO market. Other than jail or a prominent role in facilities engineering at the same company, where is a C-level exec to go once he becomes the media's latest lynch puppet burning in effigy?

Top Cities for Private Equity in US and Internationally
Just out of curiosity, what would be your top 5 or so private equity markets in the US and Internationally for private equity activity? Obviously, NYC is tops in the US, but I'm assuming that Chicago, Houston, Dallas, and DC probably get a fair share, right? Also, even though Euro cities are...

PE recovery?
George Roberts and Henry Kravis are first cousins. I bet their childhood games in post-WW 2 Tulsa, Oklahoma weren't the typical "Cowboys vs Indians" fare. Perhaps they were, with the caveat of Custer buying out Sitting Bull's arrow supply prior to Little Bighorn. More than half a century later, the...
