Growing markets

At last the summer is here, very welcome after a generally morose winter in Europe, and hopefully with the better weather we will have a more go-ahead drive in business. For over a year we have had 1 step forwards and 2 steps backwards from both European and Russian/CIS perspectives.

 ALGERIA, MENA Region - We at Advent UK prefer to reach out to growing markets, so we have started our expansion into the MENA Region (Middle East and North Africa), and we have just returned from our first visit to the north of Algeria; our Algerian colleagues Mr Bendahou and Mr Nouacer treated us royally in all respects, including 3 police car escorts during the whole visit like Ministers! There is better security at their airports than in Europe; road checks are regular too, though in Algiers it is advisable to watch your belongings as in any Metropolitan city.

The Algerians are an extremely friendly and respectful people, highly intelligent, hardworking and open for partnerships/Joint Ventures with European companies. There is a need for technology transfer and know-how into the country to create or improve industry, and a need for products too. We met Algerian authorities from different departments and private businessmen and presented our company activities, and we also met the Trade and Investment department at the British Embassy who agree that we should get more British companies linked into Algerian businesses, all very positive. We are very optimized by the opportunities and the relationships we have established, and we feel there is a real need for the Advent UK interface with our experience in opening markets, sourcing partners & our fluent French.

What an extraordinarily beautiful country with over 1,000 kilometers of coastline, apricot sand, green hills behind, and into the region of Constantine & Batna vast sweeping valleys of wheat and barley and biblical shepherds keeping their flocks of sheep and goats, surrounded by hills like the west coast of Scotland with scattered trees and brush, all very green and lush at this time of year. And a vast magnificent Roman town in Timgad as big as Pompei! Algiers (10 million inhabitants in the Bay of Algiers) is like a vast Marseille/Monaco mix with Haussmann architecture in the centre, a huge busy port, a Kasbah, esplanades rising up the hills, an amazing huge botanical garden, bougainvillea and wisteria flowering everywhere. I can’t wait to return!

 GLOBAL DIRECTOR’S FORUM – RUSSIAN/CIS PE CONVENTION LONDON 10/11 June

We are moderating at the Global Director’s Forum in Mayfair on 10:11th June with other major players in Private Equity targeting Russia/CIS. This is a very original convention with round tables for discussions on different topics, and we look forward to participating and hearing about the future perspectives for this region.

Private Equity Convention...

 

Advent UK at Private Equity Convention Russia (CIS) & CEE - 10-11 June 2010 - London

Private Equity Convention Russia (CIS) & CEE

  What is the GDF Private Equity Convention? The Private Equity convention offers a new information service to the private equity industry in Russia, which would maximize "the take home" effect for every participant via enabling a free flow of information, ideas, and contacts among everyone involved. Within this event we step aside from the traditional seminar-style format, where the exchange of ideas is largely limited to coffee and meal breaks towards a fuller discussion based networking platform.

Euro consolidation - http://www.advent-uk.com

Euro consolidation

 

EURO CONSOLIDATION - Our United Europe seems to be having some headaches; basic differences of opinion on bailing out Greece, Greek Government bonds are now "junk" (such a nasty word), the Germans have come up with a legal reason why they cannot be in the bailout party, the Euro is on a see-saw, there is rain in Spain, the looming UK elections look like father, son (go for it Cameron!) and holy ghost (where on earth did Clegg come from?), AND we've all lost money & time due to the Volcanic Eruption. The Euro is supposed to be a reputable and sustainable world currency, the Eurozone caretakers should unite their team fast and all face in the same direction and consolidate!

Battle on capitol hill

Battle on capitol hill

BATTLE ON CAPITOL HILL But the most riveting Battle of the Titians was undoubtedly the USA Senate Subcommittee (SSC) interrogation of Goldman Sachs (GS) on their business activities prior to the sub-prime mortgage crisis. No reality TV show could possibly have been more fascinating. The issue is the difference in objectives and responsibility for GS as a major market maker to the market, as a broker to their clients, and as an active principal to their shareholders (and themselves of course).

The SSC did not ask anyone at GS to explain in layman's language what a market maker is and how GS operates, so there were a lot of misunderstandings in the question and answer process. The SSC, led by their imposing President Carl Levin, was relentless on business morals and ethics, the public's ongoing anger at the financial entities role in the credit crisis, the perception of client trust and belief in products sold by GS, and the key point of conflict of interest in actively selling complex mortgage derivative products to clients when GS were hedging against these same products as principals on their own account. And those bonuses, so popular!

The GS team was clearly confused by some of the lines of interrogation and were badly prepared on detailed documents; these guys are not used to public interrogation, and had probably thought the questions would be on procedures, not on morals. The traders were uncomfortable and evasive, probably trained by legal beagles "when in doubt, deflect". The CFO David Viniar tried to explain the GS position on "going short" and the firm's reactive risk management decisions when the sub-prime market cascaded; not a happy bunny when questioned about internal emails saying deals/products were "shitty". The GS star in the shape of Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of GS, was also surprisingly uncomfortable under the SSC fire and the broadsides of the CSS on business morals and client trust left him floundering. GS broadly speaking didn't get it and needs to boot up quick on ethics!

BUT it should not be forgotten that the stability of the financial markets is absolutely essential. Regulatory reform to prevent a future financial crisis - yes. Assassination of GS and other financial institutions with all that this implies - no.

Moneycorp’s daily emails on exchange rates have some great comments – here is the latest!

Moneycorp’s daily emails on exchange rates have some great comments – here is the latest!

It's manifesto time in England and there is a nuclear theme:

The Labour effort shows a neo-Stalinesque nuclear family gazing across the fields at a nuclear explosion.

The Conservative effort, by contrast, has a plain blue cover reminiscent of the annual report of a subsidiary bank. It, too, has a nuclear explosion but it is much smaller and looks like a tree drawn by a three-year-old.

Welsh Plaid Cymru's 'European (now there's ambition for you) Manifesto' shows an English tourist looking expectantly across the hills for signs of a nuclear explosion.

The Liberal Democratic Party's manifesto examines both sides of the argument for nuclear explosions.

I find this highly amusing.
