Synopsis
Over the past 20 years, the private equity industry went from a cottage industry to a powerful juggernaut that touches every corner of the global economy. Totalling $5 trillion of investments, private equity constitutes an important investment allocation for public and corporate pension funds, university endowments, non-profit foundations, hospitals, insurance companies, families, and sovereign wealth funds worldwide.
There's no more important sector of institutional portfolios or the global economy to understand than private equity. Private equity owned businesses are everywhere around us and touch every aspect of our daily lives.
In Private Equity Deals, Ted Seides gives you an insight to the conversations that typically happen behind the closed doors of institutional investors and private equity managers. Through a series of case studies across different types of private equity transactions, Private Equity Deals shares the dynamics of deal making, companies, and ownership that make private equity a force in the world.

Reviews
I thought I knew a great deal about private equity, but I learned a lot from Ted Seides’ masterful look at this often complicated and little-understood world. I highly recommend Private Equity Deals.David Rubenstein, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman, The Carlyle Group
Private Equity Deals demystifies how value can be created during private equity ownership and offers a unique look across the wide range of approaches taken by leading allocators and investors. This is a story that only Ted is able to tell. His curiosity, shrewd questions, and deep knowledge of private equity unlock insights that are equally valuable both to veteran executives and those being introduced to the industry for the first time.Pete Stavros, Co-Head of Global Private Equity, KKR
