Also would like to add a note, PE firms don’t pay off the debt, they leave the debt burden on the company. That’s how they make their leverage returns.
Comparing PE founders and IB CEO's net worth's is a bit disingenuous though, the reason their net worth's differ to such a degree is their equity in the company. The PE founders have far larger proportions of their firms equity so they are entitled to a far higher amount of the profits, whereas CEO's at the end of the day are employees and even with their stock options bonuses, own tiny percentages of their firms.
I thought it was fair, he shared what actuals are at the highest levels. IB ceos at the highest level 1-2 billion, I don’t think highlighting that is disingenuous. Respectfully of course.
by obliterating a business. that is how they make money. Sadly a lot of people think they are fantastic for their business until it falls apart. I am seeing this currently in the job I have and the higher ups are like "la la la things are great" as one by one they are losing their jobs. As a lowly worker that actually produces the product/income, I won't lose my job. But I will leave eventually because the conditions will be so bad it will leave me no choice. Been thru at least 3 of these types of takeovers in my career. Healthcare should never have allowed this.
And the rich investors, endowment funds would be better off holding sp500 index funds or berkshire stocks, instead of paying the 2/20 that make these pe bankers rich.
Great content! If I may though point out that it is no an apple-to-apple comparison when you discuss pay difference between bank executives and pe firm founders since the latter’s wealth was driven mainly from large equity ownership that increased significantly in value over decades and the former’s was mainly from salary + bonus compensation (and yes with some additional share compensation but not even close in magnitude to that of founder’s generally).
You missed calculating the interest rate on the debt. I think you would make a little less than 400% if you take into account the interest rate. They probably have a line of credit that was extending to the PE firm and they would need to pay back the debt + an interest rate. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you so much for your videos and dedication for teaching us.
You're correct thought the same thing, and it's material as this is usually high interest private debt not bank debt. And the time period it takes to realise the $200m value becomes quite important.
The debt is on the portfolio company level and not on the fund level. So the PE firm does not pay interest nor amortizes debt. The portfolio company does it.
Is there a specific type of keyboard used in private equity? I am in real estate finance for a relative's firm and always searching for ways to improve my efficiency
How come there are so many potential portfolio companies in the US to identify and buy into; these companies are supposed to be badly managed by the present owners. Are these owners not able to understand how they could improve the company themselves?
Hey man! I've been watching your videos since i saw your video on how you prepared for GMAT and it helped me a lot! I got a 760 on the GMAT and now I'm applying to B Schools. Could you let me know my chances with the average GPA and 2.5 years work experience as a software engineer in a Fortune 100 company to get into Wharton or any other top schools? Thanks a lot!
Hey man i was wondering how does carry work. Like do you get the amount at the end of the fund or during the fund. Like if a funds lige cycle is 4 years then do we get it during that life cycle or at the end of that lide cycle? How does it work 8n different pe firms?
Are cryptocurrency and business incompatible? I think youre not keeping up with the news. While you thought it was impossible, some enthusiasts from Cannafarm Ltd integrated cryptocurrency into the production of medical cannabis. What do you say now?
Transfer of wealth usually occur during market crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, in the meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a profit of $350k within 6months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.
When doing trading comps how much wiggle room do you have regarding Market Cap? Say the company I want to compare has a 54B market cap. How low/high can I stray from 54B with the comparable’s?
Wait, do you think cryptocurrency will crash? I dont think so. More and more companies are integrating cryptocurrency into their operations: Amazon, Cannafarm Ltd, Burger King, even Starbucks, dude!

Kindly make a video on pe compensation bro. Thanks for the excellently curated content.

Good info - just slow down while explaining..😊

Where did you do your undergrad
@rareliquid awesome content, thanks for sharing
Possible to move from corporate credit to PE?
“The secret ingredient is crime” 😂
If you did your research you’d realise that managers of PE funds make a lot of money not necessarily the investors !!
Do people transition into private equity mid-career, say in your mid 30s?
ISO PMP FOR REI
Ugh I should have done PE instead!
One on quant hedge funds
Assuming that you would make a return from all the investments.
yup but pe investors tend to be quite conservative and invest in companies with good cash flow so tend to do pretty well
你终于长成了一个痛苦投行人的样子，刚开始活色生香的小伙子不见了🤣
