Jan 24, 2012 (TMA International Headquarters) – Global macroeconomic and industry sector considerations are important factors in special situation investment strategies and decisions. In the U.S., improved economic conditions have reduced the immediate threat of a double-dip recession, despite sustained high levels of unemployment, political battles over America’s finances and the 2012 elections, and Europe’s looming debt and currency crisis. This optimistic outlook may prove short-lived, however.
Jan 24, 2012 (TMA International Headquarters) – Certain private-equity (PE) groups in the distressed investing sector manage "all weather funds.” They invest in companies at all points of their business life cycle, in good times and bad, generally targeting investments in situations in which the PE firm possesses specific industry and operational expertise.
Jan 24, 2012 (TMA International Headquarters) – Ultimately, institutional capital will find the right people with the right product at the right time. In the interim, however, it is often challenging for new fund managers to develop the proper track record and infrastructure to become institutionally accepted. As a result, the fundraising process becomes difficult and time-consuming, particularly when managers approach the institutional community prematurely.
