VOICES By SABRINA WILLMER, ARI LEVy, AND SUSANNAH BIRKWOOD
Terrence Mullen, Partner at arsenal Capital PartnersThe private equity story of the year was: Making sense of the “New Crazy Normal” - PE firms trying to determine the implications of continuing environmental complexity and how to capitalize on it.The best strategy/region to invest in this year was: High-growth, high value-add small U.S. industrials companies. My biggest investment focus in the coming year will be: Building, de-risking, and scaling our portfolio companies into big winners.My biggest investment-related worry in the coming year is: The continuing dysfunction of the U.S. government and its anti-growth, anti-business sentiment.
Len Tannenbaum, Ceo of fifth street financeStory: The criticism of Mitt Romney’s private equity past and the attention he drew to the industry as a whole. Strategy/region: Mezzanine and second lien loans.Focus next year: One-stop financings for mid-market companies.Worry: The continued lack of visibility in the U.S. Congress and a fourth year with no budget.
ian sigalow, Partner at greycroft LLCStory: Mitt Romney and Bain Capital, although the Hostess bankruptcy is giving that a run for its money. Strategy/region: Emerging software companies.Focus next year: The same as last year, particularly e-commerce, video, increasing smart phone utilization, and cloud computing.Worry: The existence of fewer “true” Series B investors. you always have to make sure companies have a path to profitability.
Lamar villere, director of Private equity at Tennessee Consolidated retirement systemStory: The return of the PIK toggles, the dividend recaps, and the other bubbly leverage tools we thought were left for dead in 2008.Strategy/region: Ask me in 12 years.Focus next year: Finding great GPs with aligned interests.Worry: Frothy leverage leading to high prices for assets.
Jim Herrington, Private and Public equity investment officer, west virginia investment Management BoardStory: One written by Sabrina, no doubt. Strategy/region: Depends on what your portfolio needs were. I don’t have a one-year focus, especially with PE.Focus next year: Building a good mix of risk/return across the portfolio. Picking the best managers for the next five to ten years.Worry: GPs forcing capital at the end of the investment period.
rainer ender, Co-head of investment Management, adveqStory: The questioning of private equity’s role in the wider global economy as part of the U.S. presidential election. Strategy/region: In the Western world, specialized buyout and turnaround managers and venture capital with a global view on technology innovation.Focus next year: Outside the Western world, the firm remains very active in pursuing venture capital and growth opportunities in strong growing economies, such as China and India.Worry: With the time horizon of private equity, it remains crucial to work thoroughly and pursue a variety of diverse strategies with select fund managers.
Mitt Romney Was Big 2012 Story; U.S. Government ‘Dysfunction’ on Investors’ Minds in 2013Bloomberg Brief: Private Equity asked a number of private equity and venture capital executives, as well as limited partners, to share the industry highlights of 2012 and make predictions for the coming year.

VOICES By SABRINA WILLMER, ARI LEVy, AND SUSANNAH BIRKWOOD
steve Jurvetson, Managing director of draper fisher JurvetsonStory: The rise of sectors that were largely considered out of favor, like enterprise and disruptive technology. Strategy/region: Disruptive technology was a key focus for us this year. We’re seeing innovation at an all-time high. Focus next year: We want to partner with extraordinary entrepreneurs who are starting the next SpaceX and Box.Worry: Consolidation of investment capital into the hands of too few.
Jeff Brody, Partner at redpoint venturesStory: The failed IPOs of Facebook, Groupon and Zynga. Strategy/region: Early stage, rationally priced investments with committed and brilliant entrepreneurs, in companies developing unique and proprietary technology. Brazil and Silicon Valley.Focus next year: Offline to online. Industry and consumer marketplaces: new payment systems and financial servic-es, and transportation, marketing/advertising/merchandising systems.Worry: Too many maturing companies have disappointed investors, making it more challenging and expensive for deserving companies to access capital.
Peter fenton, general Partner at Benchmark CapitalStory: Establishing new valuation heights through the Facebook IPO. Time will be the judge, but it may turn out to have been a fair price, or proof of the reality distortion of Silicon Valley.Strategy/region: Ubiquitous mobile, which has transformed every part of our world from transport (Uber), communi-cation (Twitter), discovery (yelp), to photos (Instagram) and takeout (GrubHub). Focus next year: The non-obvious yet awe-inspiring new inventions coming from young entrepreneurs.Worry: The unprecedented levels of starvation for great engineering and design talent.
scott sandell, general Partner at new enterprise associatesStory: The resurgence of the U.S. IPO market relative to China and the rest of the world. This is a fundamental shift, in part a response to cooling sentiment toward emerging markets.Strategy/region: The enterprise sector was a big silver-lined cloud in the consumer internet tempest. Education technology has also gained a lot of momentum this year, with well over $600 million invested.Focus next year: Building enduring businesses, especially enterprise and education.Worry: The threat of macro headwinds looms large with volatility in Europe, in emerging markets and in Washington.
scott weiss, Partner at andreessen HorowitzStory: GitHub. The world’s largest source code repository took in $100 million in its first and likely only round of private financing.Strategy/region: Technical founders in Silicon Valley, a continuing geographic magnet for the startup ecosystem. Focus next year: The disruptive power of mobile and cloud is accelerating. There will be 50 new franchises in the enterprise stack across every application and infrastructure layer, e.g. networking, databases.Worry: Platform risk. As the world is moving quicker than anyone thought to mobile, we have two gorillas in Google and Apple that lord over most of the mobile ecosystem.
Yegin Chen, investment officer, san diego County employees retirement associationStory: The vilification of private equity in the U.S. presidential campaign. Strategy/region: Developing markets, especially in Asia.Focus next year: Developing markets (both private equity and private debt), especially in Latin America.Worry: Too much public and private capital flowing into developing markets.
gregory garrett, Managing director, Portfolio advisorsStory: The fund size resetting in the large/mega buyout space. Many managers that raised significantly larger fund sizes during the 2006-2008 era are now raising smaller funds and taking longer to raise them. Strategy/region: U.S. energy opportunities, which have generated significant interest from both public and private investors. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracking have opened new reserve opportunities.Focus next year: Due diligence on managers that can invest in both equity and debt-oriented securities.Worry: The further economic slowdown across the developed economies.

VOICES By SABRINA WILLMER, ARI LEVy, AND SUSANNAH BIRKWOOD
david sze, Managing director at greylock PartnersStory: Reality sets in for the super-angels/micro VCs.Strategy/region: The Valley, as usual, despite the grumblings of other regions. Software IP in its new forms of con-sumer internet services, Software as a Service, Big Data analytics, is where the leverage and value creation is.Focus next year: Mobile social 2.0.Worry: Macro swamping micro.
Klaus ruhne, Partner at aTP Private equity PartnersStory: Succession in large-cap firms.Strategy/region: Small cap in the U.S. Focus next year: Distressed and emerging markets.Worry: Economy and tax issues related to PE.
david Chen, Co-founder of angelvestStory: Awareness about angel investing increased since a year ago and I’ve seen more funds and people doing early stage than before.Strategy/region: In China, the tier-1 cities of Beijing and Shanghai and their surrounding areas. Mobile technology, gaming and internet, e-commerce.Focus next year: Continued focus on mobile and internet, trying also to do cross-border. Investing in companies that have developed a presence elsewhere but have a technology that can be used in China. Worry: Getting step-ups for our companies, and exits. Can our companies become more valuable through additional funding? And can we get our cash out at some point?
Thomas Kubr, executive Chairman of Capital dynamicsStory: 2012 still hasn’t returned the industry to a state that we can call “normal”. I expected the industry to come back by 2012 at the latest, but it feels a lot like 2010 and 2011.Strategy/region: Strong companies in strong markets. The question “what’s the best sector, the best country?” is nonsensical. Anyone who asks that question still hasn’t fully understood what private equity is about.Focus next year: Looking for great funds that invest in great companies. Much the same as for the last two decades.Worry: In Asia, it is the future of China; in the U.S., it is a significant loss of confidence; in Europe, it continues to be the inability to solve their fundamental institutional problems.
vincent Huang, Partner at Pantheon ventures asiaStory: The Chinese market shifted towards more of an RMB market. It’s become more and more pronounced that the local market is more important now.Strategy/region: China continued to be one of the more attractive markets.Focus next year: China, India and Australia will continue to be the three largest markets we focus on, although India is falling out of favor a bit because the liquidity hasn’t happened.Worry: Thing cannot be worse: the European crisis, the U.S. fiscal cliff. These issues aren’t going to be solved any time soon; they will be ongoing.
sebastiaan van den Berg, Managing director, Harbourvest Partners asiaStory: Southeast Asia has continued to be a big driver of activity in Asia Pacific. A lot of people wanted to increase their exposure to the new funds and the larger incumbent funds being raised there.Strategy/region: This year was probably an OK year to invest in Southeast Asia, with lower P/E multiples than in other growth markets. Australia continued to be a steady buyout market.Focus next year: I’m optimistic that we’ll see much better performance from China overall next year.Worry: The situation between China and Japan is a cause for uncertainty. [Japan’s prime minister] Shinzo Abe com-ing back into government brings the risk that tensions could escalate.
