Many people are familiar with the terms private equity , venture capital and hedge fund , but few can actually define how each investment vehicle operates or makes money. Thanks to their seemingly complicated nature and lucrative reputations, the PE, VC and hedge fund industries occupy an almost mythic (and sometimes infamous) status for Americans. The combination of mystery and wealth creates a vacuum for misinformation and mistrust. This webinar series de-mystifies these private funds, explaining their similarities and differences from other investment vehicles and from each other- from the legal, financial, and investment mandate perspectives. Each episode is delivered in
Plain English understandable to business owners and executives without much background in these areas. Yet, each episode is proven to be valuable to seasoned professionals. As with all Financial Poise Webinars, each episode in the series brings you into engaging, sometimes humorous, conversations
designed to entertain as it teaches. And, as with all Financial Poise Webinars, each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes, so that participants will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all of the episodes.
Episode #3
The managers of private funds rely on pooled capital from outside investors. How do they do this, and how do they compete for funds with a public market fueled by expansionary monetary policy? Legal restrictions limit who can invest in a private fund and even if legally allowed, many private funds will
not permit everyone who want to invest to do so. This webinar addresses the present market for private capital fundraising across a diversity of fund strategies. It answers questions about how to promote fundraising activity in a crowded market.
