"Private Investing: The Handbook of Private Debt and Private Equity" is a practical manual on investing in the most common alternative asset classes and provides a unique insight on how principal investors analyze investment opportunities. Unlike other textbooks available in the market, Principal Investing covers the various phases that principal investors follow when analyzing a private investment opportunity. The first section of the book covers the analytical tools: advanced accounting and financial analysis, industry and company analysis. The second section looks at the most common methods used to structure a debt facility and a private equity transaction. The last section looks at the main legal aspects of a transaction: term sheet, debt facility, security documents, investment and security purchase agreements, shareholders agreements. The reader can thus walk through the different phases of a transaction from origination to closing. Principal Investing combines academic rigor with the practical approach used by leading investors. Every chapter is filled with practical examples, Excel workbooks (downloadable on the book website), examples of legal clauses and contracts, and Q&A. Cases are referred at the end of every chapter to test the learning of the reader. Instructors will find referrals to both third party cases or cases written by the authors.
