Program Experience
Real-World Case Studies
Through real-world case studies and examples from multiple organizations and industries, you'll explore the realities of leveraged buyouts and the factors that can lead to failure or drive success. Examples include:
Dynacast
Imagine that you are a principal in the private equity group at Partners Group (PG), a global private markets investment organization, in 2014. In the Dynacast: Solid, Middle-Market LBO case study, your group is investing in Dynacast, a small global manufacturer of high-quality metal components. Through this case, you’ll gain real-world experience in evaluating the soundness of an LBO deal and compiling a summary report for your team and managing director to present to the bankers for the transaction.
HCA
As one of the largest leveraged buyouts on record, the HCA LBO was a home run for all constituents: private equity sponsors, creditors, and management. This case serves as the foundation for the final module of the program and takes a deep dive into its investment thesis, financing, and exit, and it provides an example of what a good LBO for both private equity sponsors and creditors looks like.
