	Equity Raising
		Equity investors will look for a committed management team possessing all the skills necessary to grow the business to its next level of development and will be reassured if these skills are spread amongst a team of individuals rather than in one key person.
		Equity investors are typically looking for a combination of dividend yield and capital growth from their investments, albeit where growth prospects are good, dividends may not be a priority.
		Irrespective of the amount of equity you are seeking to raise, there is significant advantage in using an independent professional advisor to direct you towards the most appropriate source of funding for your particular circumstances.

		The entire private equity portfolio of a pension fund, however, might be best benchmarked by using a time-weighted return of all private equity funds as it’s the allocation decision of the allocation committee at the pension fund that is being measured.
		A subsequent significant equity financing that includes substantially the same group of sophisticated investors as the prior financing should generally not be the basis for an adjustment in valuation.
		If substantially all of a significant equity financing is invested by an investor whose objectives are in large part strategic, it is presumed that no more than 50 percent of the increases in the investment price compared to the prior significant equity financing is attributable to an increase in the value of the company.

	FT.com / World / UK - Private equity growth 'hitting tax revenues' (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The US and British tax authorities expressed particular concern about the growth of the private equity industry, on the grounds it could undermine their efforts to persuade big quoted companies to be open and clear about their tax affairs as a matter of good corporate governance.
		A recent report by Citigroup, the financial services company, said "private equity investors are very interested in how tax can be used to generate value in addition to more typical routes built around capital structure changes and managerial improvements".
		These issues come on top of long-standing concerns that the growth of private equity may erode tax revenues because companies are financed with high levels of debt and may be able to offset their interest costs against their tax bills.

		Prior to the collapse of equity prices in 1990, investment trusts had more than half of their assets invested in Japanese equities; by the first quarter of 1997, this weighting was just over 20 percent.

		Many international institutions started new private equity programs, and 100% donor-sponsored funds began to appear, with the goal of creating jobs in countries and regions where indigenous sources of private capital had been non-existent and international sources of private equity capital were unlikely to invest in the short to medium term.
		In the case of emerging market private equity funds, the ability of a management company to achieve an appropriate degree of control is limited by many factors, including geographic isolation, language and cultural barriers, poor accounting and weak corporate governance tools.
		Because much of the experience with emerging market private equity investment is relatively recent, there is not a great deal of experience to suggest whether the investments made by international institutions in private equity funds have been successful, and what factors contribute most directly to the success of a given fund.
