Private-Equity Acquisitions May ‘Thrive’ This Year, Gogel Says. Time to engage – or fade away. What all owners should learn from. In December 2008, we predicted a significant shakeout in the private equity industry leading to the disappearance of 20 to 40 per cent of private equity firms.
Since then, several private equity firms have gone out of business, some have reduced their current fund commitments, and others have reduced their teams, including senior partners. In July 2009, we forecast that private equity’s limited partners would - on average, but with significant variation - stay committed to this asset class or even increase their allocation relative to other asset classes. In the past six months, limited partners have indicated that they are willing to commit new funds and in fact have done so, write Heino Meerkatt and Heinrich Liechtenstein of the Boston Consulting Group and IESE Business School.

Half (49%) rely on “gut feel” to gauge investments; general investment in the business yields a 20% return expectation and most expect return on investment in 1.5-3 years LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A large number of private business owners would take a business risk (91%) vs. maintaining the status quo (9%) and, at the same time, half (49%) said they rely on “gut feel” to make investment decisions according to a study from Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management.

As the nation struggles to endure the financial crisis -- with rising foreclosures and increased unemployment threatening to prolong the devastation -- another meltdown looms around the corner.
The next credit crisis may be caused by private equity companies, which bought over 3,000 companies this decade by forcing them to take on enormous amounts of debt, argues financial reporter Josh Kosman, the author of "The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Will Cause the Next Great Credit Crisis. " Almost one in 10 nongovernment employees works for a company owned by a private equity firm, and many of them could find their jobs in jeopardy if their employers can't pay back the loans.
"Private equity firms bought thousands of companies this decade using the same cheap credit that fueled the subprime mortgage crisis and that debt is coming due in the next few years," Kosman tells HuffPost in an extended interview, citing Chrysler and Simmons Mattress as two recent examples.
