With traditional fundraising and investment methods under siege, and an unprecedented regulatory challenge, this year’s buyout forum examines new methods to achieve best in class returns.

Key subjects to be covered include:

• Pure play or multi-play GPs? - will the mega-buy out trend to diversification roll into the mid market?
• Portfolio management – is operational excellence now the key to best returns?
• Gearing up for 2011 – are the debt markets about to open up again?
• Fundraising – is it time for LPs to call the shots?

The EVCA Buyout Forum is the annual event for the mid market private equity community. The conference is organised by an Advisory Board of EVCA buyout members to provide a serious and credible forum to discuss issues specifically affecting the mid market buyout GP, investors and other stakeholders like banks an advisors.
