Stumbled upon a piece of financial history in the office today...
By pure chance, as I was looking for something inside the office supplies/storage room, I came across an abandoned old box. I almost ignored it but something caught my eye, and I ended up digging up this old deal tombstone ... arguably one of the most famous deals in modern financial history. It...

Merger Arbitrage Question
Hi Monkeys Quick question: why would a transaction between 2 public companies that is nearly certain to be completed still have a spread (Offer price-current price) that could be an arbitrage opportunity? I am referring to a deal like the KKR //KFN acquisition. -- Where KFN has no employees; it...
Why did KKR buy KFN?

Differences between KKR, BX, Apollo, Carlyle, Bain?
Can anyone familiar with these firms comment on how the lifestyle/culture/investment style might differ at these megafunds? Seems like a bit of a black box unless you know people working there. How are you suppose to tell headhunters your preferences?

The Private Equity Draft
What does the typical Private Equity analyst have in common with a professional basketball player? Other than being ballers; they are both getting drafted younger and younger, far more so on the basis of potential than that of proven skill. Taking a page from the David Stern manual, Private Equity...

Are you special? Or just another wannabe?
It’s funny how a completely unrelated conversation connects to finance. I was discussing with our man James Hunt the sad decline of the sports car industry, wherein once proud and truly special marques have lost their way and are now but shadows of their former selves. Complacent in mediocrity and...

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...

HCA IPO Rises 4% on Day Dow Falls 228 Points
HCA Holdings rose about 4.0% in its first day of trading. This was very impressive, considering the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 228 points in the same day (3/10/11).

So it seems the megafunds have set a new early record for the recruiting cycle, kicking it off last week. It's my understanding that the megafunds (i.e. KKR , Blackstone , TPG, Carlyle) as well as some other large PE funds are pretty much done recruiting already. Does that mean the middle market...
