The Oxford Private Equity Programme in China begins with an overview of private equity as an asset class and its potential attractions to investors. It then looks in depth at issues affecting the way deals are structured, the use of debt financing, valuation issues, the performance of companies run by private equity investors, and finally the exit routes for investors.
Case study analysis and group assignments, designed to increase and embed knowledge, are combined with contributions from industry leaders and private equity advisors with in-depth knowledge of the private equity industry in Asia.
The programme includes sessions on:
- Private equity fund structure
- The attractions of private equity to investors
- The risk characteristics of private equity
- Valuation in a private equity context
- The due diligence process
- How deals are structured
- The role of leverage
- Exit routes
- The performance of private equity funds and their portfolio companies
- The future of private equity in China
The programme will be taught in English by Oxford University faculty, with translation to Chinese. Materials will be available in a choice of English or Chinese.
