Private capital industry professionals can visit http://bschool.pepperdine.edu/privatecapital through October 30 to participate in study of banks, asset-backed lending, mezzanine, venture capital and private equity capital markets; participants receive early look at results
Senior lenders, asset-based lenders, mezzanine funds, private equity groups, venture capital firms and business owners pursuing private capital are invited to complete an online questionnaire investigating the major private capital market segments at http://bschool.pepperdine.edu/privatecapital.
Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management is conducting the second study in its Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project through October 30. The study examines the behavior of professionals in the private capital industry based on investment type, expected and historical rates of return, financial ratio thresholds, coupon rate distributions and other investment characteristics.
Survey participants will receive a first look at the study’s revised outlook on private lending, expected in the first quarter of 2010.
Conducted by Associate Professor of Finance John Paglia, the Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project is the first comprehensive and simultaneous investigation of the major private capital market segments. The study seeks to help private investors and lenders make optimal investment and financing decisions, as well as provide private business owners with a better understanding of the true cost of capital, the capital types available to them, and the requirements that must be met in order to raise new capital.
Results from the first project report, released in July, found private capital lenders have very high expectations for return on investment (42% expected returns) even though they expect continued economic decline in the year ahead. Results also said there will be increasing demand for private investment and capital. The first study result appeared in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Forbes.com, Venture Beat, PE Hub, USA Today and other outlets. Downloaded by more than 660 industry professionals to date, the first project report is also available at http://bschool.pepperdine.edu/privatecapital.
