Private Capital Private Equity And Beyond

The growth of private capital has been astounding, leading to an unprecedented increase in the capital allocation by institutional investors and family offices around the world. It has also led to an expansion to other types of assets such as infrastructure, real estate and private credit, and subsequently to its rebranding as private capital. The two-volume book provides a comprehensive overview of the main topics in private capital. This volume is devoted to fund level aspects: private capital as an asset class, fund structuring, types, performance measurement, fundraising, fund due diligence, accounting and reporting, governance, administration and tax considerations. It also covers risk management, ESG as well as special classes of funds: secondaries, credit, real estate, infrastructure and natural resources.
