15th & Lawson - Private Equity Markets: The Public Life of Private Companies

The private equity market has undergone dramatic growth, and with that has come greater public disclosure. For fundraisers this means there is now a wealth of in-depth information previously unavailable on private companies. In this edition of 15th & Lawson we will explore the documents that contain the data as well as the public markets for private securities. Here is some of the knowledge you will gain:

* Why private companies have to make certain information public
* Which regulations govern the sale of private securities
* How to find details about current and past private stock sales
* How to effectively use the publicly available information
* Where private companies sell their stock to the public
* How to research private companies on public market sites

Sign-up today for 15th & Lawson - Where Wealth & Philanthropy Meet.

"This really is good stuff! I see practical application in proactive research shops especially in this economic climate when everyone feels the decline of personal wealth. This doesn't mean other sectors of the economy are not doing well as WorkingPhilanthropy.com has so adeptly pointed out. Knowing where wealth is still being built will help our institutions weather this economic downturn if we can identify prospects we have in these industries. Thanks for this expanded knowledge base!"
