This course is designed to provide an overview of the private equity and venture capital industry. It examines how this industry works and who its primary stakeholders are. The course will focus on the organized private equity market, which involves professionally managed equity investments in unregistered securities of private and public companies. This course will benefit students interested in working within some aspect of the private equity industry-whether directly, as a practitioner or supplier of capital, as an entrepreneur or corporate manager who is financed by private equity; as a banker or advisor involved in private equity transactions; or as a regulator whose purview might include private equity.

Open to Master of Finance students. SCH-MGMT 640 & 650
