Summary
Tax reforms, regulatory uncertainty, and global market volatility are creating a more complex investment environment, but the outlook for private equity remains strong. This investment management course provides the frameworks you need to improve your firm's effectiveness at every stage of a deal. By examining critical issues related to industry infrastructure, portfolio management, and negotiation strategies, you will be well equipped to overcome emerging investment challenges, find new paths to growth, and increase returns on capital.
For executives newer to the private equity or venture capital fields, our foundational investment program, Foundations of Private Equity and Venture Capital, may be more appropriate. The programs are not intended to be taken consecutively and are designed to meet the needs of two distinct groups of investors. Applicants are advised to choose the program that best fits their goals and experience. For more information, connect with a program advisor by emailing executive_education@hbs.edu or by calling +1.617.495.6555.
