Every week I buy more of whatever is the lowest percentage of my portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%. Please what could be my safest buys with $400k to outperform the market in 2024?
I would avoid the index funds, mutual funds, or specific stocks for the time being. The 5% fixed incomes are the safest bet for now. Save your cash for when the market actually shows sign of recovery.
This is why I've entrusted a fiduciary with my investmnt decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. My advisor crafted a tailored strategy aligning with my long-term goals, guiding entry and exit points for the equities I focus on. This has grown my portfolio to over $850k. My personal best so far
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.

What you also need to consider is that when doing recorded lectures, universities often pick their star professors / guest speakers and in the audience they place star students from various courses or even alumnis and MBA/EMBA students, just for people like you who then google “I wonder who these students are”
Thanks John Poerink for giving this spectacular speech. My key takeaways as below. 1. PE is the manager of the whole process, so it's great to have an internal and third-party team to help with accounting, law, and strategy DD. 2. DD is not just looking at financials, is more about having a sense of how the business works and where are the opportunities 3. Never overpay. Multiple arbitrage is the key to a successful investment.

My advice for who wants to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Thanks to my financial advisor, my portfolio is thriving, and l'm proud of last year's decisions.
People often don't realize how important financial advisors are. Data from the last 50 years shows that people who work with CFAs usually earn more than those who don't. I've worked with a Adviser for 7 years, and now I have a $2 million portfolio.

This is a great overview of due diligence as a umbrella term for assessing if you should or should not do a deal (is the deal worth what you are paying for it)!
This is a good video in building a foundational level of what a PE group does but also note there are multiple different PE groups out there that buy a myriad of different assets. I work in commercial real estate and encounter PE groups offering on our properties for sale all the time. The speaker obviously works in a big time PE shop that has hundred of millions in capital to buy very large businesses - so definitely more time consuming and complex.
I find these lectures very helpful I am taking my associates online and can’t really participate on how to valuate a business because I’m busy learning about journal entries 😴. From private to corporate I find everything about it to be very interesting. I can’t wait to get into law class
Only issue is there’s lots of people trying to put the basketball in the hoop. And people who don’t want you to. And people who are better at it than you.
If I’m not mistaken, the man at 1:09:55 explained the business model of Italic, an e-commerce retail startup that is gradually making headway with luxury brands. Interesting to see that his idea was shot down.
I wonder if the airline company he was talking about around 22:30 was WLFC, a family run company that leases airline parts. I was looking at them about 6 months ago and the family head offered an unfair take-private offer. Made profit on it but it was an unfair offer - eventually fell through. Still, interesting. It had a very strange capital structure and is now owned almost 70% by insiders (the family).
So they are purchasing at multiples of annual earnings while keeping existing management? If free cashflow is greater than debt service + due dilligence checks out as well as relative strength to industry then go forward with the deal? And by roll up does he mean merging the companies together? New to this, thanks.
I think that in getting to know the exit plan aside doing all the due diligence is to also look at the business from a lay man's view. is this company something I would buy into in some years to come? we tend to want to be always technical but we just have to simplistic and practical about things. my opinion though.
This is so insightful, but also so 2011. There are no mentioning of digitalisation impact of companies future revenue potential and the role of Technology in TAM
Several thoughts 1. Very few women in this class. 2. This speaker, John Poerink, is running a 1 person Private Equity firm. 3. This guy looks like superman. 4. Overall a good presentation. I would have like to hear how they source deals. This issue is either a. companies don't want to sell b. companies sell price is too high c. companies have very weak businesses to sell d. hard to access to the business due to poor accounting and extreme comingling of funds.
If you work in finance or know enough about banking, can someone answer this question? Where can i learn about how the process of structured finance works regarding the details of buying and selling, and all of the things that are done in conjunction with buying and selling structured finance securities? Im aware that financial institutions trade the writes to collect other peoples debt in exchange for quick cash, after these debts are bundled up and often attached with a stock option to hedge potential defaults, and this is generally done in the risk department of corporate entities, between various banks, venture capital firms, pension funds, IBs, etc. But I want to interview someone who worked in the industry before so i can understand more the exact routine and process, and what goes into selection, and how business partners are chosen etc.
From my understanding, if an investment is hitting solid numbers such as EBITDA of 40% per month and nice CF, the GP or Management Company should try to acquire another company to reduce the ROI/ Income of the Investment(s), in other words a goal should be to only give investors say 3% Return per month (vs 40%)... In other words try to cap the returns given out to LP's until he withdraws his investment (while growing the GP's portfolio in the long term).

Anyway, the first thing we have to do as a private equity fund is sourcing and I guest it's the hardest part of the deal. The leactuarer give us the ovarall cocept of the deal relating to the fund and it's tremendous.
Not much said about how Private Equity is destroying small business in this, and other countries. The due diligence is based on 3 outcomes. Either sell the parts of the company to gain a quick profit, build up sales quickly (usually by purchasing cheaper product) and then flipping, or a combination of flipping smaller pieces and purchasing cheaper product to increase sales and then flip to another private equity company. Any of these outcomes, destroys the reputation of the company purchased, and many of these are smaller family owned companies. There are many stories of PE coming in and buying controlling interest in a successful company, and then leveraging it out so, that any other interest holding partner, end up with nothing. It's all just a matter of greed, and tends to rape and pillage successful small business. All this, and they use other peoples money to do it. The main problem with due diligence, is that it doesn't analyze what made the company successful in the first place, and possibly build from there. It's all based on flipping for a profit., at any cost.
I disagree that you won't get better pricing from your suppliers when you increase your order 2-3 times, just because you are still much smaller than the dominant buyer. In most cases you can negotiate better prices if you increase your order size. Let alone as hugely as 2-3 times.
24:11 Probably worth another video on how do you walk through that PE door. That's also a big challenge from diversity point of view cause it's the same type of people normally this door opens for.
one question: in the video the guy said MULTIPLE is the major way to create value for PE, but I saw other PE ppl say it's hard to increase MULTIPLE these days, focus is more on revenue GROWTH. Is it just a style difference or is it another time? thx
C Lo its because there is too much money chasing too few good deals . Sellers are charging outrageous multiples on their companies and pe firms must pay up or risk losing the deal to another buyer. Since there is no more way up left to go, the only realistic way of creating value is increasing revenue.
Targeting exit strategy when buying a business is detrimental to long-term growth of the business. Short-term gain for a PE firm leads to long-term damage to the business and its employees.
I wouldn't say a great speaker but certainly comes off as a very savvy professional in his field. tons of buzzwords and capital markets' slang and acronyms, which is not hard to understand after google research. Private Equity firms, either leveraged buyouts, VCs, seed funds, etc., seem to be a very elitist market.

All I could learn from this video- everything is 'incredibly difficult'. Every area of Private Equity is 'incredibly difficult'. Ask him any question- and you know what his answer will be- incredibly difficult.
not all, you are wrong, you only remember those as you have a bias. When you see not linebacker PE guy you do not register, when you see a linebacker you register. And it seems like "all" are linebackers.

Great speaker, I like the way he engages the audience and makes his talk simple so that even those who haven't had experience in PE can understand.
I like the engagement also but you can barely hear what they are saying. I think the visual people were not considered when doing this lecture.

What is the annual loan pay down? That just had interest paid on the loan I believe
How long does it take to become a private equity guy? like to get started and all that other stuff?
So they are purchasing at multiples of annual earnings while keeping existing management? If free cashflow is greater than debt service + due dilligence checks out as well as relative strength to industry then go forward with the deal? And by roll up does he mean merging the companies together? New to this, thanks.
i think what multiple you use depends on the industry/specific business, you could use EBITDA, earnings, some other approx of cash flow
