Equip yourself to excel in the fast paced VC & PE marketplace
While India 's banking and merchant-banking marketplace is well established and matured, the Venture Capital & Private Equity market in India is still in its early growth stages, with ample room for many more players. Buoyed by rapid economic expansions witnessed over the last 3 years, India is now on the top of the heap amongst Asian economies with respect to venture capital and private equity interest and activity. Not surprisingly, this marketplace is experiencing a scarcity of the specific skill-sets required by existing and newly entering Venture Capital and Private Equity players.
Over the last few years, we have witnessed tremendous growth in the private equity marketplace. While the growth has been striking, the potential for future development is even more impressive. Both the demand for and supply of such capital is likely to expand. Our instructional course on Private Equity & Venture Capital equips you to move into the fast track for understanding market dynamics and building a strong competency on valuation, deal modeling and structuring.

Guy Fraser-Sampson
Guy Fraser-Sampson originally qualified as a lawyer and became an equity partner in a City of London law firm at the age of 26. In 1986 he left the law and has since gained twenty years' experience in the investment arena, particularly in the field of private equity.
He is perhaps best known for having set up and run for several years the European operations of US fund of funds manager Horsley Bridge . Previously he lived and worked in the Middle East as Investment Controller with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority ("ADIA"). ADIA was at that time publicly |
to be the biggest single investor on every European stock market and generally assumed to be one of the largest investors in the world.
In recent years Guy has developed his abiding interest in investment strategy, portfolio theory and asset allocation, and become recognised as an expert and thought leader in the area, particularly in so far as pension funds are concerned. He also, in the course of two and a half years' research for his first book, became an expert on so-called alternative assets generally, and has written and lectured widely on how these might be accommodated into Multi Asset Class products and portfolios.
He is the inventor of the Total Funding Model, by which pension funds may calculate their future liabilities and target rate of return. He has also invented a new way of calculating investment risk which remedies many of the deficiencies of the traditional method. He has previously been responsible for developing many computer models for measuring private equity fund performance, including one specifically for buyout transactions.
Guy is also well known as a conference speaker and, increasingly, as a provider of keynote addresses. He is also a prolific writer, having supplied articles for every one of Europe's English language pension publications as well as numerous investment titles, including his regular column in Real Deals , Europe 's leading private equity publication.
Guy is the author of two books: Multi Asset Class Investment Strategy and Private Equity as an asset class , both published as part of the prestigious Wiley Finance series, and both featured on this website. Multi Asset Class Investment Strategy was published in July 2006 to what Global Pensions described as "rave reviews from within the UK pension industry" and went into the Amazon "Hot 100" after just six weeks. The Daily Telegraph noted that "the tectonic plates are shifting under the British investment establishment" while one reviewer said simply "there are some books you read that change the way you think - this is one of them." Private Equity as an asset class will be published in February 2007.
In addition to various professional qualifications, Guy has an LLB with Honours from King's College London and an MBA majoring in finance from Warwick Business School . |
