Back
Organized annually, the HKVCA’s Private Equity Fundamentals Course comprises five tailormade modules to provide participants with in-depth information and analysis of private equity and venture capital, either as industry entrants or for those seeking to refresh their skill sets. Covering the entire fund-raising process from strategy to distribution of returns, data on global funds and investment activity, current issues and fund marketing, it is particularly relevant for those practitioners keen to expand their technical ability and know-how.

Delivered by leading industry specialists and experts with experience in different fund strategies, marketing, deal making, and the pros and cons of investing in private equity as an asset class, each module will be taught relative to real case studies to show how investors finance through the different stages of a company’s lifecycle, and explain financing as financial intermediaries practice it.
