Book Description

A theoretical and practical guide that enables readers to make sound investment and financing decisions
This book is a technical finance book that surveys the private capital markets-the major uncharted financial market. Representing nearly half of the U.S. gross national product, these markets are largely ignored, partially because of the difficulty obtaining information and because of the lack of a unified structure to approach them. This book provides a structured framework that owner-managers and their professional advisors can use to effectively deal with the complicated issues of valuation and capital structure and transfer issues.

5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to valuation.......2007-09-16

This book clarifies several obscure aspects and concepts of valuation of any company by providing an innovative approach to the subject, and its content also reflects well the needs of those working with evaluating non listed assets or willing to further understanding myriad aspects that are important in any transaction involving small to middle market companies.

Valuation and deal making practitioners will find in this book an in-depth conceptual understanding of the risk-reward trade-off existing in major capital structure decisions by looking at all major funding alternatives, their risk, cost to borrower and return to fund providers at different levels of claims and their consequent pledges.

In addition, this book provides a fresh view on different levels/structures of financial sponsoring companies, ownership and/or control issues and other intricacies regarding the relation of entrepreneurs and financists when dealing with transaction's high level issues.

5 out of 5 stars At Last...a Finance and Valuation Text for Privately Owned Companies!.......2007-01-24

Performing fair market valuations keeps thousands of appraisers busy in the United States. Most professional appraisers rarely venture outside of this one standard of value. Now imagine if fair market value accounted for less than 10% of the appraisal needs of the private capital markets. The private appraisal market would be huge! This is just one of the many messages contained in Robert T. Slee's book, Private Capital Markets.

Slee's book is not strictly a valuation book; rather, it is a conceptual Lewis & Clark-type survey of the private capital markets. This is the first book that attempts to develop a unified structure for the analysis of these markets. Think of it as a private finance textbook. Why do we need this?

Slee's premise is that the body of financial knowledge explaining the behavior of private players differs from corporate finance. Economists created corporate finance in the 1960s to explain the behavior of large public companies. Since that time, business professors have taught finance as if only public companies exist in the market. In fact, more than 99% of the companies in the United States are privately held. Private Capital Markets, on the other hand, focuses on the financial motives and needs of private company owners and their advisors.

In this book, Slee establishes private capital markets theory. This theory describes an integrated body of knowledge encompassing the valuation, capitalization and transfer of private companies, particularly those with annual revenues between $5 million and $500 million. Slee designed this theory to help players make better financing and investment decisions in private markets. He asserts that business owners can create competitive advantages with these tools.

Slee explains that valuation, capital, and transfer issues are inter-related and inter-dependent. This means that you cannot fully understand valuation, capital, or transfer discretely: You must first understand how they all fit together. He calls this holistic interconnection Triangulation. Each chapter of the book triangulates the reader's position so they understand their position within the private markets.

Slee introduces the new framework of value worlds to explain valuation, capital, and transfer. Value worlds dramatically extend the appraisal concept of standard of value. We all know that value is relative to the purpose of an appraisal. Slee illustrates how purpose selects a value world. As many value worlds exist as there are appraisal purposes. There are dozens. Because the valuation rules are different in each world, every private company has dozens of correct values at the same time.

Who sets the rules? Various authorities create and enforce the rules in each value world. For instance, in the fair market value world, the IRS, tax courts, ERISA laws, appraisal societies, and various other authorities tell appraisers how to value business interests within each's sphere of influence. Some authorities (IRS) have fairly strong sanctioning power; others (administrative rulings) can only suggest a course of action. Most value worlds, such as the owner or investment value worlds, have only one or two authorities. Slee's value world construct puts appraisers in their true role: as interpreters of authorities' decisions. This won't sit well with many appraisal purists, who for years have believed that they are authorities.

Slee views valuation as the common language that unites the private capital markets. He argues that we need this language to communicate with each other over capital structure and business transfer issues. Thus, the book surveys the entire capital and transfers spectrums of the private capital markets. It describes all institutional types of capital in terms of their access, sample terms, and effective all-in costs. Finally, Slee explains all transfer methods making up the private business transfer spectrum.

One surprise that springs from the book is that transfer methods select value worlds. This means that once a business owner chooses the method (ESOP, recapitalization, estate-planning, etc.) of transferring their business, they also choose (unknowingly in most cases) the transfer value as well.

This book and subsequent analyses of the private markets will likely impact fair market value appraisals significantly in a way that the book does not address. Businesses appraised for fair market value purposes are real flesh and blood businesses that operate in the private markets. As our young profession matures, continuing to treat private companies as if they operated in a market similar to the public markets will appear more futile.

Private Capital Markets is comprehensive and is aimed at the serious reader. Because we can competently value private businesses only to the extent we understand the private markets, this book belongs in every appraiser's library.

    Book Description

    The Pure Theory of Capital, F. A. Hayek’s long-overlooked, little-understood volume, was his most detailed work in economic theory. Originally published in 1941 when fashionable economic thought had shifted to John Maynard Keynes, Hayek’s manifesto of capital theory is now available again for today’s students and economists to discover.

    With a new introduction by Hayek expert Lawrence H. White, who firmly situates the book not only in historical and theoretical context but within Hayek’s own life and his struggle to complete the manuscript, this edition commemorates the celebrated scholar’s last major work in economics. Offering a detailed account of the equilibrium relationships between inputs and outputs in an economy, Hayek’s stated objective was to make capital theory—which had previously been devoted almost entirely to the explanation of interest rates—“useful for the analysis of the monetary phenomena of the real world.” His ambitious goal was nothing less than to develop a capital theory that could be fully integrated into the business cycle theory.

    5 out of 5 stars Compact compendium of financial information.......2003-07-14

    In this text, Van Horne combines elements of both finance and economics; this results in an outstanding compendium of financial theory as it relates to financial markets. However, the breadth of the material and the detail to which the reader is exposed necessitates succinct dissemination in such a compact text (300 pages). I've found more information in this paperback than most hardcover texts (800 pages or more) that I've read, and at half the price.

    My fellow students and I plowed our way through it in one 400-level course in the finance program at EWU. This is advanced material and not for the faint of heart. As I remember it, there was a sizable number of students with weak hearts about half-way through the quarter.

    4 out of 5 stars a great contribute to financial market theory.......1999-10-08

    Professor Van Horne Books are certainly fundamental to approach right the theory of finance. I think we have all to thank him for his studies.

    4 out of 5 stars A good reference for fixed income securities.......1999-09-19

    A compact book focusing on fixed-income market, derivatives, and risk management. Highly Recommended for advanced undergraduates
