One of the most remarkable corporate phenomena of the last ten years has been the growth of private equity. A decade ago, private equity was known as venture capital and was the Cinderella of the M&A world. Today, it is the mainstay of mergers and acquisitions. Ever-increasing amounts of capital are being deployed by private equity fund managers and private equity overall plays an increasingly significant role in western economies.

This practical second edition introduces the world of private equity, explains its rise and explores the key ingredients of private equity transactions and the technical issues associated with them. Featuring chapters by leading private equity practitioners, the book includes high-level analysis of private equity fund structures, equity and debt finance, acquisition documentation, due diligence, tax structuring and management, pensions and public to privates.
