Cendrowski Corporate Advisors Anounces Second Edition of Private Equity Book

Chicago, IL, June 21, 2012 --(PR.com)-- As private equity draws national attention in the 2012 presidential election campaigns of President Obama and Mitt Romney, a second edition of the book titled “Private Equity: History, Governance, and Operations” unveils the inner workings of venture capital, angel investors, hedge funds, and private equity investments.

“The role of private equity general partners, limited partners, placement agents, and investor gatekeepers are all detailed in the new second edition of this authoritative handbook,” said Harry Cendrowski, lead author and Founding Member of Cendrowski Corporate Advisors (http://www.cca-advisors.com). “Readers will also learn about standard private equity pricing practices in regard to management fees, minimum investments, capital contributions, and carried interest.”

“You know it’s an excellent book when a second edition is being published,” said Maribeth S. Rabe, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fort Washington Fund Advisors. “The new chapter addressing intellectual property … is a great addition, as it is a critical topic. While this book is obviously an excellent guide for any investor new to the private equity asset class, it also serves as an excellent reference guide for the savviest of investors.”

Private equity, generally considered to be an equity investment in an operating company that is not publicly traded on a stock exchange, is coming under increased scrutiny as a result of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Students, private equity professionals, and investors alike will gain a better understanding of the role of private equity from fundraising through the divestiture of portfolio companies by reading this book.

Business professionals, including attorneys and accountants, will find chapters on corporate governance, due diligence, internal controls, financial reporting, and the legal aspects of a private equity harvest transaction to be particularly informative.

Written in an easy-to-read, engaging style, the book is also suitable for advanced, graduate-level classroom use. Purchase of the text includes access to a website of teaching materials for instructional purposes.
