Dyferencjacja strategii dezinwestycji funduszy private equity metodą pierwszej oferty publicznej

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is an attempt to identify the different strategies of private equity funds divestments carried out through stock exchange. The purpose of this study has been achieved by empirical verification of hypothesis which stipulates that the private equity funds implement heterogeneous strategies of divestment by the initial public offering. The research on disinvestment of private equity funds through initial public offering has shown that this method of exit from investment may take a wide range, different dynamics and bring various effects. The empirical studies have been carried out on a group of 26 private equity backed companies in which the divestment process had been carried out by the initial public offering and the first listing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange had taken place between 2002 and 2010.
