SECOND HALF NEWSLETTER - SEPTEMBER 2011
28 September 2011
We have been busy on developing new academic research examining Secondaries and replicating private equity portfolios. Some of the earliest findings were showcased at the Symposium in June, our flagship event. Our events calendar continues to flourish. Both “Venture Philanthropy and Social Ventures” and “Influence or Control: Hedge Fund Activism vs Private Equity” stimulated vibrant debates. The Symposium attracted an enthusiastic and vocal audience thanks to the quality of our keynote speakers and panellists. This year we interviewed many of the speakers and the videos are available on the website. The website has just passed its first anniversary; it is an invaluable tool for those wanting to identify and read research in this industry as well as for keeping in contact with events and news at the Coller Institute. We want it to be interactive so if you find a paper we don’t have, please tell us or upload it under the Research tab. May saw the publication of Private Equity Findings 4 which Professor Cornelli discusses in a video, and which together with the issue is available on the website.

This category is an important addition to the Coller Prize, reflecting the ambition of the Institute to expand beyond London Business School and recognise the world’s best private equity research, just as it does with its publication, Private Equity Findings.
