GP’s track record in downturns is correlated to future fund performance

Industry News
PREMIUM CONTENT

Recent research conducted by Prof. Oliver Gottschalg, of HEC Paris, could help shed light on the attributes of general partners more likely to outperform in a downturn.

The research was based on an analysis of 12.500 buyouts executed between 1990 – 2015 by almost 200 GP’s to identify deals impacted by a difficult environment.

A quick overview:

  • A GP’s track record during an economic downturn is correlated to success and failure of a future fund for that GP.
  • In his research, Prof. Gottschalg found that over a third of all realised PE deals had downturn features. In two thirds of these deals, the GP achieved success at exit, he named these “downturn successes”.
  • Gottschalg’s assigned a ‘downturn success ratio’ which is the degree to which a fund manager experienced downturn deals in the past and how frequently these deals still had successful outcomes.
  • Key findings were that GPs with high past downturn success ratios are most likely to deal better with downturns in the next fund.

Moonfare does not make investment recommendations and no communication, through this website or in any other medium should be construed as a recommendation for any security offered on or off this investment platform. Alternative investments in private placements, and private equity investments via feeder funds in particular, are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk warnings and disclosures for the respective fund or investment vehicle set out therein. The value of an investment may go down as well as up and investors may not get back their money originally invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. An investment in a fund or investment vehicle is not the same as a deposit with a banking institution. Please refer to the respective fund documentation for details about potential risks, charges and expenses. Additionally, investors will typically receive illiquid and/or restricted membership interests that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. In the most sensible investment strategy for private equity investing, private equity should only be part of your overall investment portfolio. Further, the private equity portion of your portfolio may include a balanced portfolio of different private equity funds. Investments in private equity are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for the long term (at least 10 years) should not invest.
