As active owners, the governance processes they put in place are not widely understood, and some outsiders are suspicious of the motivations and reward structures that drive the key decision-makers. This book evaluates the mechanisms that private equity fund managers employ to ensure effective oversight of their portfolio companies and the legal rules that regulate their behaviour. It suggests that most private equity fund managers have powerful incentives to ensure that investee companies behave responsibly, take account of relevant environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, and work to build sustainable businesses in the long term. The author suggests that legal rules in the UK are not well-adapted for the private equity ownership model, but are not in practice a significant determinant of behaviour. At the same time, there is evidence that private equity-backed companies perform better than their peers, and the author suggests that superior governance may be one explanatory factor"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Private equity $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Private equity funds $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Stock holders $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Venture capital $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Capital investments $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Agency (Law) 650 0 $a Corporate governance $x Law and legislation. 650 7 $a Agency (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800198 650 7 $a Capital investments $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846340 650 7 $a Corporate governance $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879652 650 7 $a Private equity funds $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01752099 650 7 $a Private equity $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904354 650 7 $a Venture capital $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01165304 776 08 $i Online version: $a Witney, Simon R. $t Corporate governance and responsible investment in private equity $d Cambridge, United Kingdom; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, $c 2021 $z 9781108641838 $w (DLC) 2020023985 830 0 $a International corporate law and financial market regulation. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021021544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3009E46486E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
