It's no secret that private equity firms have enjoyed massive profits in recent years. In Private Equity Finance, a course in the second-year MBA elective curriculum, students follow the life cycle of a deal in order to learn more about the complexities and conflicts behind those big returns. The students consider topics such as deal sourcing, due diligence, deal structuring, governance issues, and the all-important question of how private equity firms create value. And in a mini-module on fundraising, "ABRY Fund V" examines a situation every student dreams of: what to do when it becomes clear you can raise $4 billion for your next fund instead of the planned $1 billion. Professor of Management Practice Nabil N. El-Hage coauthored the case with HBS professor and Finance unit head Richard Ruback.
