Private Equity Minority

Increase in Private Equity Minority Investments

The lack of leverage available to buyout firms has forced many private equity groups to change their investing approach. Christian Bullitt, the director of business development for LLR Partners, explains that more flexible private equity firms have an advantage in the current market. Specifically, those firms that are comfortable with a minority stake in a company rather than a controlling interest are better adapted to make deals in the credit crisis.

But even private equity firms that have historically taken control of companies are executing more deals with only a minority interest. Due to the lack of financing, many companies want to partner with a private equity firm in order to deleverage their business. While the companies need the private capital they are unwilling to relinquish control and therefore many private equity firms are having to take on a minority share in their investments.
