SoftBank's best-performing investment division, the Latin America fund, is being folded into the Vision Fund following the departures of the division's three key investors.

Marcelo Claure, the strategy's architect, left in January. And now, the Latin America fund managing directors Shu Nyatta and Paulo Passoni have decided to leave SoftBank to start their own Latin America-focused late-stage investment firm.

Tracking deSPAC performance through a tumultuous market
(whyframestudio/Getty Images)
SPAC activity in Q1 reached the lowest point since early 2020, with only 78 listings and the median deal size cut in half compared to last year. Meanwhile, aftermarket performance is suffering among SPAC combinations initiated amid the elevated valuation climate of the past two years, as high-growth sectors are revalued in the public markets.

The macroeconomic headwinds for the once-manic SPAC market look to be substantial, and the outlook is uncertain for both new listings and mergers. Our Q1 SPAC Update and Performance analyst note tracks current SPAC market activity and introduces an index to track public performance of deSPAC combinations after the mergers have been completed.

A look at SEC's proposed rules on adviser-led secondary transactions
On February 9, 2022, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed new rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The SEC did so with the goal of providing greater transparency to investors regarding private funds, the cost of investing said funds, and their performance. Two topics of special interest to the valuation community emerged:
  • 1) A proposed requirement for the investment adviser to obtain a fairness opinion in connection with certain adviser-led secondary transactions.
  • 2) An alternative requirement for advisers to obtain a third-party valuation in connection with adviser-led secondary transactions, instead of a fairness opinion.

(erdikocak/Getty Images)

PE healthcare deals hit the ground running in Q1 2022, headlined by the $17 billion buyout of Athenahealth and Clearlake's rollover of Symplr.

Partner Perspectives
Getting the band together: Club deals & co-investment fundraising are on the rise
As the PE dealmaking environment heated up in the past decade, limited partners (LPs) have sought to gain even more exposure to the asset class. Simultaneously, general partners (GPs) at PE firms have begun to band together more than ever. Drawing on PitchBook datasets, Troutman Pepper explores these trends in depth in its latest report, reviewing the implications of these developments, and how they intertwine.

Key findings include:
  • The impact of record co-investment fundraising in the past few years, with 2021 seeing over $20 billion in capital raised alone.
  • LPs are increasingly looking to join in PE deals, participating in a record high of 245 last year.
  • Analysis of the future of LP-GP relationships as market volatility rises and dry powder remains high.
