The New York Private Equity Network ("NYPEN") and Kirkland & Ellis are pleased to invite you to a panel discussion on "Current Trends for Minority Investments in Private Equity Managers" on Tuesday, April 30th.

Kirkland & Ellis partners Jason Williams and Michael Reeves will discuss current trends in the rapidly evolving market for minority investments in private equity managers.  In addition to providing capital to fund the growth of the firm and (sometimes) provide liquidity to certain individuals, these transactions can also provide an opportunity to reassess internal “team” arrangements and succession planning.

Specifically, our panel will explore:

• Key structuring and governance considerations for sponsors considering a minority sale
• The “institutionalization” of the buy-side and continuing proliferation of a diverse and sophisticated set of buyers increasingly focused on acquiring minority positions in private equity sponsors
• Recent innovations in hybrid structures and terms that are currently reshaping the market
