When I read the title of the first chapter (What is Private Equity?), I thought oh no, this was a mistake. Then I read the second chapter title (Do you have what it takes?), and again, I thought it was another fluffy attempt to put private equity on a pedestal.But then it got straight into the guts of a 'day in the life' of an investor at a PE firm. From about page 10, I couldn't put it down. I work for a PE firm already, so it's not like I'm new to it, but I loved hearing about how other firms think and it was very interesting to see how they perform valuations and negotiate deals and structure term sheets and all that good stuff. I didn't agree with everything, but I've rethought a few things and learned a lot more. Even though its not short (seems about 300 pages), the points are concise. So in those 300 or so pages, hundreds of concepts are covered. The format was new to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace.I followed the last reviewer's suggestion and went to the author's website for the book. She said you save more money, but it's only a few bucks. The real advantage is getting both the kindle and PDF versions of the book. I'll be able to search the PDF version at work when deals come up.
I found the format quite unusual, but refreshing. It reads like journal entries, but most contain detailed practical examples. In a way, it's a cross between a technical manual and a diary of 'a day in the life'. Very informative and quite enjoyable.My only gripe is after buying the book, I visited the author's website looking for more info, but found the book was cheaper.
Really enjoyed this advice from PE practitioners.
Gives a good understanding of PE in USA for a person out of the industry.A lot of differences though for EM countries.Minus - only a very few insights if at all for person working in PE
I work at a Private Equity firm in Colombia. Having read a lot of books relating to Private Equity, this is by far the one that describes best my day to day dutties at this fascinating world. Do think twice and give it a try.
