This course is intended to provide students with an overview of the key aspects of the Private Equity function and help students understand the key building blocks required to successfully develop a career in Private Equity. We will be looking at the Private Equity function from the point of a view of a typical Investment Professional in a standard buyout fund, by assessing the core areas of the portfolio asset lifecycle: origination, acquisition, portfolio management and exit. The course will have a strong practical emphasis and will be heavily based on practical examples. It will end with the simulation of an Investment Committee discussion where students will be presenting investment opportunities to a panel of international Private Equity, Investment Banking and Venture Capital professionals.
