Research and advisory report (thesis) Private equity Undergraduate
Dear wso'rs,
Thank god we have such an active forum where professionals can help each other out. I am seeking advice for my research and advisory (thesis) report. In the period of February 2018 to July 2018 I will have my research and advisory report (thesis) assignment. I would like to do research into the private equity industry since I find it a very complex and untransparent industry. Furthermore, would I find out if private equity fits me.
I have the following questions/remarks.
- What would be an interesting research and advisory (thesis) topic in PE, could someone recommend an interesting topic or give advice on the topics below?
- I have been thinking of portfolio performance.
- Company valuations
- Potentially determining what value a PE could add to an existing business in a sector.
- I am also very interested in ethics.
- What would be the best strategy in approaching these PE parties? How do I get these parties to give me this opportunity?
- I am thinking of approaching a semi-senior employee and ask them about their experience in the PE industry and what would be an interesting Thesis topic. From there I would like to move the conversation to potentially doing it at their firm.
- I am wondering how difficult it will be to get an assignment. Cons for the PE parties: The PE party might pay a small amount of money as compensation and the party may have to allocate some time in helping me get the knowledge I need. Pros for the PE parties: Potentially gain new knowledge, potentially find ambitious students that fit the culture. In my opinion, the pros is out value the cons.
- if someone has research and advisory (thesis) experience in the PE industry. Let's have a chat sometime soon.
Thank you for reading my forum post! I hope to speak with some of you soon.
