<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Until recently, strategy played little meaningful role in the management of illiquid investments, and what many investors call 'strategy' has been more akin to 'tactics' or 'learned reflexes'. Even large institutions still appear to manage their private equity allocations on such a case-by-case basis. But the environment has changed and returns are no longer 'assured' as they once were. Private equity and other illiquid asset classes have matured, as more players seek to deploy ever larger amounts in a market where opportunities necessarily become difficult to identify and access. The few principles that institutional investors have relied on up to now have been anchored in a less competitive past. Private Equity Unchained deconstructs existing practices and provides insights into how to think strategically about illiquid asset allocations. In order to thrive in markets characterised by extreme uncertainty, investors must first accept the limitations of what is knowable. This begins by leaving behind many of those financial theories that institutions normally cling to as a safe harbour for managing risk. Once divested of such false comforts, investors will be in a position to identify their real options and take an active and strategic approach to alternative investing"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>There are significant returns to be made from private equity, infrastructure, real estate and other illiquid investments, but a competitive strategy is essential for investment success and for meeting objectives. This book takes readers through all the considerations of planning and implementing an investment strategy in illiquid investments.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'Based on his wealth of knowledge and experience, Thomas Meyer provides important insights into the private equity business and valuable advice to anyone involved in it. He describes how private equity is an engine of innovation and how the partnership model evolved as a central component of it. He cautions against some of the regulatory and valuation practices that are currently employed in the sector.'</p> <p>Colin Mayer, Peter Moores Professor of Management Studies, Said Business School, University of Oxford, author of "Firm Commitment: Why the Corporation is Failing Us and How to Restore Trust in It"</p> <p>'There is not much work on a subject as arcane as private equity asset management that can be read by both specialists and amateurs with the same pleasure of discovery or re-discovery. Private Equity Unchained succeeds in this feat by dissecting the subject in depth, but in my view, also by re-introducing the 'human factor' in its perspective of the Private Equity investment landscape. This fresh approach illustrates the dimensions of perpetual change, the biological foundations of human behavior and the uncertainty that goes with them.'</p> <p>Georges Sudarskis, Founder and Chairman, Sudarskis & Partners (UAE) and former Chief Investment Officer, Private Equities, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thomas Meyer is partner and co-founder of LDS Partners, specialising in the development of private equity risk measurement models and investment strategies.
