Private Capital Investing

A step-by-step, comprehensive approach to private equity and private debt

Private Capital Investing: The Handbook of Private Debt and Private Equity is a practical manual on investing in two of the most common alternative asset classes (private equity and private debt) and provides a unique insight into how principal investors analyse investment opportunities. Unlike other textbooks available in the market, Private Capital Investing covers the various phases that principal investors follow when analysing a private investment opportunity.

The book combines academic rigour with the practical approach used by leading institutional investors. Chapters are filled with practical examples, Excel workbooks (downloadable from the book's website), examples of legal clauses and contracts, and Q&A. Cases are referenced at the end of every chapter to test the learning of the reader. Instructors will find referrals to both third-party cases or cases written by the author.
