<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Building on and refining the content of previous editions, the third edition adopts the same logical, systematic, factual and long-term perspective on private equity, combining academic rigour with extensive practical experience. The content has been fully revised to reflect developments and innovations in the private equity sector, exploring new strategies, changes in structuring and the drive of new regulations. New sections have been added, covering fund raising and fund analysis, portfolio construction and risk measurement, as well as liquidity, and start-up analysis. In addition, private debt and private real assets are given greater focus, with two new chapters analysing the current state of these evolving sectors. The private equity sector is growing fast, from roughly $100bn of assets under management in 1990 to $2.5tn in 2017. It is also subject to great innovation, with new investment strategies, changes in structuring, and the drive of new regulations. In addition to private equity, two sectors in particular have been developing: private debt (direct lending, mezzanine/unitranche financing, distressed debt) and private real assets (private real estate, private infrastructure, natural resources, etc.) The evolution of these areas is significant -- in 2017 they represented $1.5tn of assets under management -- and should be integrated into any comprehensive book on the topic, as private companies finance through equity, debt and asset financing. Assets under management for private markets and private finance are expected to double by 2023, from $4tn to $8tn"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Fully revised and updated to reflect changes in the private equity sector</b></p> <p>Building on and refining the content of previous editions, <i>Introduction to Private Equity, Debt and Real Assets, Third Edition</i> adopts the same logical, systematic, factual and long-term perspective on private markets (private equity, private debt and private real assets) combining academic rigour with extensive practical experience.</p> <p>The content has been fully revised to reflect developments and innovations in private markets, exploring new strategies, changes in structuring and the drive of new regulations.

This new edition comes in most handy to provide fresh perspective on the new private equity scene. As would be expected, the industry is finding original ways to reinvent itself in a deleveraging world. It is maturing, developing new forms to ensure its sustainability. Let there be no doubt it is an industry that is here to stay!"<br> <b>--Dr Benoit Leleux, </b> Stephan Schmidheiny Professor of Entrepreneurship & Finance, IMD, Switzerland <p>"The author provides a thoroughly researched introduction to the different aspects and key dimensions of the private equity industry. The historical perspective adds a refreshing element of life in the matter. This volume keeps abreast of recent developments and offers a realistic assessment of the current trends affecting the industry. It should find its place on the bookshelf of practitioners and academics as a valuable reference work."<br> <b> -- Cédric Spahr, </b> Equity Strategist, Bank. J. Safra Sarasin <p>"Private equity is an important investment category for long-term investors. As such, all efforts to clarify the concepts, techniques and issues associated with these investments should be saluted. Cyril Demaria's publication is particularly welcome from that point of view. The quality of the thinking and the clarity of expression make it a work of reference on the subject."<br> <b> -- Prof. Noël Amenc, </b> CEO, Scientific Beta <p><i>"Introduction to Private Equity, Debt and Real Assets</i> provides a holistic view of the private equity industry and is a good starting point for everyone interested in it. The author brings his academic and professional experience to bear. I can highly recommend it."<br> <b> -- Bernhard Engelien, </b> Managing Director, Greenhill <p>"As an investor and practitioner of the private equity asset class the first thing one realizes is that this book is clearly written by a practitioner who knows the industry inside-out. It is well structured and addresses a number of misconceptions afflicting the private equity industry. It offers very valuable insights to both novices and intermediate-level industry participants. One of the best books I have read on the subject."<br> <b> -- Markus Benzler, </b> Managing Director, UBS Global Asset Management <p>"Once a niche strategy, private equity has claimed its position in institutional investors' portfolios. The author has mastered the difficult task of writing both a comprehensive and topical book on the subject. Despite the broad wealth of information, the author manages to present the content in an entertaining manner, which makes the book a pleasant read as well. This book will prove an invaluable source of knowledge for laypersons, and provide experienced practitioners with new insights."<br> <b> -- Marina Stoop, </b> Manager Selection & Controlling, Zurich Invest<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>CYRIL DEMARIA</b> is a Partner and Head of private markets at Wellershoff & Partners, an independent CIO service provider for family offices and financial institutions.
