    Performances of Brazilian IPOs backed by private equity
    (2013) ANDREA MARIA ACCIOLY FONSECA MINARDI; Ferrari, Guilherme Lopes; Tavares, Pedro Carvalho Araújo
    Private equity funds invest actively. According to the literature, their portfolio companies maintain superior transparency standards and corporate governance practices, such as keeping independent board members and hiring international auditing firms. Private equity funds require either a controlling interest or restrictive clauses to limit managerial action and usually appoint the executives of their portfolio companies. Brazil faced an IPO wave that started in 2004 and peaked in 2007. Many private equity deals went public. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether private equity backed IPOs performed better in the long run (1 year) than non-private equity backed IPOs. We examine the one-year cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) of 108 Brazilian IPOs from January 2004 to June 2008, including 42 PE backed IPOs. We split the sample into two calendar periods: 2004–2006 and 2007–2008, and we find that PE backed IPOs have higher average CAR than non-PE backed IPOs in both periods. However, PE backed IPOs issued during 2007–2008 were not immune to the 2008 world economic crisis and investments in the smallest companies are the ones most severely affected. Regression analysis confirms that PE investment has a positive relation to CAR, but only for IPOs issued in 2004–2006.

    Private Equity and Venture Capital Industry Performance in Brazil: 1990–2013
    (2014) ANDREA MARIA ACCIOLY FONSECA MINARDI; Kanitz, Ricardo Vinicius; Bassani, Rafael Honório
    This article investigates the performance of Brazilian private equity (PE) and venture capital funds between 1990 and 2013. The Spectra-Insper database is used for information about gross returns and multiples. Investment amounts are collected from what General Partners report in Private Placement Memorandum or that are hand collected by the CVM (Brazilian Security Exchange Commission) or other commercial sources. The performance of 46 funds is analyzed. The average IRR of Brazilian funds is higher than the average of U.S. funds over the same period. We observe that Brazilian funds with vintage years between 1990 and 1997 underperform U.S. PE funds on average, but those with vintage years between 1998 and 2008 outperform U.S. PE funds. This pattern may reflect a learning curve in Brazilian PE industry. We find evidence that performance in Brazil has a higher cyclicality than in the U.S., but this may be due to the small sample size rather than the emerging market effect.

    Currency Impact in Brazilian PE/VC Deals’ Performance
    (2017) ANDREA MARIA ACCIOLY FONSECA MINARDI; Kanitz, Ricardo Vinicius; Bassani, Rafael Honorio; Schittkowski, Pedro Robelo
    Brazil is an emerging market that has attracted a lot of private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) investment in the last 20 years. Foreign exchange rates fluctuated significantly during this period, as in many emerging markets. This article investigates the currency impact on Brazilian PE/VC deal performance during this period. Our main findings are that in the long run, currency risk is irrelevant, but it is substantial at the deal level and, depending on the vintage, also at the fund level. Funds raised in the beginning of a devaluation cycle have their performances significantly deteriorated by currency movements, and the opposite is true for funds raised in the beginning of a currency appreciation cycle. Although there is diversification across deals, depending on the vintage, some funds may not be able to diversify across cycles, and foreign exchange risk may affect funds’ performance and fees and may distort general partners’ track records.
