Leveraged Loans

Sperling of THL Partners Talks Leveraged Loans

Scott Sperling, co-president at Thomas H. Lee Partners LP, believes that the credit markets are large enough and active enough to refinance current leveraged deals.  However, he remains “cautious” and “concerned” after the credit crisis and does not completely discount the estimated $430 billion of leveraged loans.  Many of these loans will be called in 2012-2014 but buyout firms will likely try to extend these bank maturities.  Sperling is optimistic about his buyout firm and others being able to restructure these loans, “the capacity exists within the market,” he says.  E-mail subscribers can view the following video here.

Boston Private Equity

List of Boston Private Equity Firms

Boston is a center for private equity in the U.S., especially in the private equity boom over the last few years private equity has established itself in the Boston business community. Through big local buyouts like that of Toy’s R Us by a Boston private equity group, Bain Capital, and an expanding Boston market for those bigger buyouts but also smaller venture capital deals, Boston’s private equity market has grown substantially.

While New York remains a relatively unchallenged hub for private equity activity, Boston is certainly among the top private equity cities in the country. Although the major private equity groups in Boston compete amongst themselves, they also work together on large deals. This is evident in the recent acquisition of Warner Music Co that was led by two Boston private equity firms, Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners.

The growth of private equity in Boston has been largely accelerated by the success of large Boston private equity firms like Bain Capital, Thomas H. Lee Partners, TA Associates, Berkshire Partners and Summit Partners.
