Join us in Warsaw for the As conditions in Western Europe and USA remain sticky, an impressive 67% of investors are looking to increase allocations to CEE PE over the next five years (CEE Private Equity survey by Acanthus). Driven by relatively low corporate valuations and improved macroeconomic outlook, deal pace accelerated for both investments and exits. While little or no investments took place in the large-scale LBO segment, the mid-market buyout activity has enjoyed a very strong rebound.

Join us in London in February 2011 for the The pricing for buyout fund valuations is showing strong signs of recovery. Regulatory scrutiny is increasing. LPs are rebalancing existing investments and re-thinking future unfunded commitments to private equity. Secondaries fundraising hit record levels last year. As a result, the market is finally witnessing a very strong increase in supply of secondary fund interests with a number of deals in the works and a strong pipeline. As the deal flow becomes larger and of better quality, more and more LPs are putting portfolios of fund interests up for valuation or seeking to buy interests from other investors. It is, therefore, widely anticipated that the European secondary private equity market is poised for a very significant growth in 2011. |

Join us in Istanbul in November 2011 for the As a high growth frontier market, Turkey is rapidly emerging as one of the last unexploited countries and promises significant potential for near term returns. It’s fast growing economy (4th quarter of 2009 showed a 6% growth year on year), large population, much liberalized investor-friendly environment, together with attractive privatisation policies set in place by the Government, continue to attract huge attention from domestic and global investors. The shortage of local and traditional sources of capital for existing lucrative acquisitions makes private equity an increasingly popular capital raising and partnership concept in Turkey today. Large global funds, such as Carlyle and Bridgepoint, are keen to acquire stakes in Turkish companies (healthcare, logistics, retail, real estate). Many funds are opening the offices in the region or have desks covering Turkey from their European offices. . |
