Private Equity in Luxury
7pm, 17 October 2011
Wolfson Lecture Theatre
The Plowden Building
London Business School
Major private equity firms such as Bain, CVC, Advent and Apax have invested in some of the world’s most recognisable luxury and fashion brands: Valentino, Hugo Boss, Jimmy Choo, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Samsonite, Moncler, and Pandora.
Some of these investments have been spectacular successes. Others have led to spectacular failures.
Marcello will share his insights via a presentation addressing the following questions:
What makes a luxury company attractive to private equity?
What makes private equity attractive to a luxury owner and manager?
What differentiates successful luxury investments from failures?
Q&A and reception to follow.
