As many investors often do, the LPs are looking at historical returns to justify continued investment in the sector. But with the sub debt markets almost shut down, and with a 750 basis point spread between high yeild and treasuries, it is hard to imagine the buy out market doing well in the next 5 years. I recently put together a set of slides (for some of my limited partners) on why VC is a much better bet over the next 5 years. If interested, you can see the slides on my bio (william quigley)on the Clearstone web. <a href="sitehttp://www.clearstone.com/content/html/about-team-profile.htm?a=10" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="sitehttp://www.clearstone.com/content/html/about-team-profile.htm?a=10">sitehttp://www.clearstone.c...</a></p>William QuigleyMon, 03 Mar 2008 23:19:02 -0000
