Table talk

On a sunny Manhattan morning in April, five senior investment professionals representing five major institutional participants in the private equity market gathered around a table at The Yale Club to talk shop. On issues ranging from the secondary market to private equity securitisation to the best opportunities going forward, Chuck Flynn, Michael Granoff, Thad Gray, Sheryl Schwartz and John Wolak agreed to disagree with eloquence, wit and authority.

In a room filled with reporters, tape recorders and cameras, just how candid can a group of limited partners be? As it turns out, quite candid.

The LPs who participated in Private Equity International's debut US roundtable event were eager to share ideas with their peers and learn about the differing ways in which other private equity investors are dealing with the upheaval in the asset class.
