An EMPEA Masterclass with Faculty Leader EY

12 February 2014  |  EY House, 35 Lower Long Street  |  Cape Town

Leading private equity firms are maximizing investment returns by developing value creation insights before making a purchase and executing a value creation plan from the beginning of the holding period through to exit.

Companies that faithfully execute their value creation plans throughout the investment lifecycle and apply the same amount of focus at exit as they do at acquisition can enhance returns and outperform their peer group when they sell.

Join EMPEA, EY and leading African PE investors for an EMPEA Masterclass on Value Creation through the Private Equity Lifecycle. Led by our expert faculty, this in-depth workshop features candid, closed-door discussions designed to leave all attendees better equipped to maximize the value of their investments within the unique landscape of the African market.

Topics covered include:

  • Using the diligence process to identify value creation opportunities
  • Value creation drivers during the holding period
  • How to maximize value leading up to and during the selling process
