Managing distressed private equity and credit investmentsSteven Rosenblum
Many family offices, pensions, endowments and other investors that have historically allocated capital to private equity and credit funds (“Investors”) are increasingly investing in transactions directly. To achieve similar returns, Investors must replicate the capabilities of institutional asset managers in sourcing opportunities, structuring transactions and investment oversight. When unexpected problems occur post-investment, Investors often lack the resources and internal expertise to optimally manage the position, especially in distressed situations. These include risk management practices to help prevent investments from becoming distressed, activist expertise to manage distressed situations and strategies to recover investments after they have become impaired. This article discusses best practices in each of these areas that help Investors maximize the value of problematic investments.

what are some barriers a company might need to overcome when enterin.pdfmichardsonkhaicarr37
what are some barriers a company might need to overcome when entering the global market?
and
what are some sources of financing for a new business? Limit your post to one source, and
include some pros and cons.
Solution
Barriers to entry into markets for firms include:
· Advertising - Incumbent firms can seek to make it difficult for new competitors by spending
heavily on advertising that new firms would find more difficult to afford. This is known as the
market power theory of advertising. Here, established firms\' use of advertising creates a
consumer perceived difference in its brand from other brands to a degree that consumers see its
brand as a slightly different product. Since the brand is seen as a slightly different product,
products from existing or potential competitors cannot be perfectly substituted in place of the
established firm\'s brand. This makes it hard for new competitors to gain consumer acceptance.
· Capital - need the capital to start up such as equipment, building, and raw materials
· Control of resources - If a single firm has control of a resource essential for a certain industry,
and then other firms are unable to compete in the industry.
· Cost advantages independent of scale - Proprietary technology, know-how, favorable access to
raw materials, favorable geographic locations, learning curve cost advantages.
· Customer loyalty - Large incumbent firms may have existing customers loyal to established
products. The presence of established strong brands within a market can be a barrier to entry in
this case.
· Distributor agreements - Exclusive agreements with key distributors or retailers can make it
difficult for other manufacturers to enter the industry. · Economy of scale - The increase in
efficiency of production as the number of goods being produced increases. Cost advantages can
sometimes be quickly reversed by advances in technology. For example, the development of
personal computers has allowed small companies to make use of database and communications
technology which was once extremely expensive and only available to large corporations.
· Government regulations - A rule of order having the force of law, prescribed by a superior or
competent authority, relating to the actions of those under the authority\'s control. Requirements
for licenses and permits may raise the investment needed to enter a market, creating an effective
barrier to entry.
· Inelastic demand - One strategy to penetrate a market is to sell at a lower price than the
incumbents. This is ineffective with price-insensitive consumers.
· Intellectual property - Potential entrant requires access to equally efficient production
technology as the combatant monopolist in order to freely enter a market. Patents give a firm the
legal right to stop other firms producing a product for a given period of time, and so restrict entry
into a market. Patents are intended to encourage invention and technological progress by
guaranteeing proceeds as an incentive.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as at January 2007 there were 28,944 businesses registered in Trinidad and Tobago of which an estimated 1,535 have the minimum capital required to list on the Exchange. Interestingly enough only 27 companies have listed on the Exchange. (Companies classified as medium to large sized) The so-called ‘soft side’ issues in family-controlled companies include, for example, trust levels among shareholders, goal agreement, a participatory culture and views on the long-term health and competitiveness of the business. These relationship issues are directly linked to the risk perceptions of shareholders which in turn have a direct impact on the company’s cost of capital and its overall ability to create wealth.“ Very few family business members, especially those who are family leaders, want to invest time in building unity among shareholders and professionalizing the strategies and structures through which they interact.
Some of the measures suggested can effectively divert some of the private companies financing needs away from commercial borrowing Increasing this openness will result in beneficial changes for the company’s operations, such as increased efficiency and more rapid responses to competition. Thereby enabling Business owners to realize the advantages of more active use equity financing could outweigh its disadvantages. Commercial borrowing The Banking sector dominates as the major source of funding that companies choose to finance their activities. Because corporate borrowing is firmly embedded within the banking sector, corporations do not have any strong motivation to seek financing from the Capital markets. Over a five-year period from 2003 to 2008 private sector borrowing has increased significantly from $18.4 Billion to $43.1 Billion. To put this into perspective Bank credit to the private sector represented approximately 30% of GDP in 2007.

Often the most contentious issue in private equity negotiations. Exit strategy negotiations are really all about control. Tag-Along and Drag-Along Rights – A contractual obligation used to protect a minority shareholder . If a majority shareholder sells his or her stake, then the minority shareholder has the right to join the transaction and sell his or her minority stake in the company. (effectively oblige the majority shareholder to include the holdings of the minority holder in the negotiations in order to facilitate the possibility that a tag-along right is exercised.) Tag-Along and Drag-Along Rights – A right that enables a majority shareholder to force a minority shareholder to join in the sale of a company. The majority owner doing the dragging must give the minority shareholder the same price, terms, and conditions as any other seller. ( Designed to protect the majority shareholder. Because some buyers are only looking to have complete control of a company, drag-along rights help to eliminate minority owners and sell 100% of a company's securities to the buyer)
