Good news – PEM has expanded

Reading over our recent headlines, I’m struck that we’re somewhat heavy on the “here’s how to manage through this new headache” analysis. Well here’s some altogether positive content: Private Equity Manager represents a major upgrade.

Starting now, the publication formerly called PEI Manager will become a much more comprehensive intelligence service called Private Equity Manager.

Responding to overwhelming reader requests, we have centered this new service on a website, www.privateequitymanager.com. A subscriber to Private Equity Manager will receive, among other benefits, a weekly email with briefings on market developments, a monthly, ready-to-print digital digest with articles from the past 30 days plus features exclusive to the monthly, full access to our digital archive of five years worth of PEM articles, and regular contributions from external experts emailed directly to your inbox.

What is not changing is our in-depth coverage of topics you need to follow in order to help your private equity firm win: valuation, accounting, regulation around the world, tax, legal developments, compliance, risk management, investor relations, terms & conditions, budgeting and GP management and human capital.

These are topics that not only have become more critical to the success of your firm, but which frankly have grown far more complex as governments around the world have created new hurdles for private equity firms. More than ever, you need Private Equity Manager to help your firm leap over these hurdles.

Take, for example, the looming specter of SEC registration. Soon most US private equity firms will need to become registered investment advisors, which entails a new set of expenses and responsibilities. It will no doubt fall to the CFO/COO to oversee these matters. In this issue of our publication you’ll read about budgeting strategies with regard to SEC registration, thereby arming you with practical advice that helps you manage your firm and demonstrate the value you bring to your role at the firm. We also have an article on the consequences of a new EU regulatory framework.

Expect more actionable intelligence like this from Private Equity Manager going forward. And it won’t be confined to a monthly magazine. The world has changed, and like your firm, we see big opportunities to change with it.

Enjoy the issue,
