As many investors often do, the LPs are looking at historical returns to justify continued investment in the sector. But with the sub debt markets almost shut down, and with a 750 basis point spread between high yeild and treasuries, it is hard to imagine the buy out market doing well in the next 5 years. I recently put together a set of slides (for some of my limited partners) on why VC is a much better bet over the next 5 years. If interested, you can see the slides on my bio (william quigley)on the Clearstone web. sitehttp://www.clearstone.com/content/html/about-team-profile.htm?a=10 It is strange to me that the limited partner community continues to pour money into private equity funds.
