Singapore GIC targets emerging markets via private equity
2008-04-18 04:19:00 Singapore GIC targets emerging markets via private equity Analysts say it can rely on funds’ expertise in less familiar areas and avoid national sensitivity issues By Alvin Foo  THE Government of Singapore Investment Corporation plans to invest a larger share of its resources in emerging markets, a senior GIC executive has reportedly said. It may do this by funnelling its investments through private equity funds. This would avoid the growing criticism levelled at sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) such as GIC that they may be investing for political motives rather than financial returns. Market observers note that GIC could avoid issues of national sensitivity by using private equity funds and adopting a more passive role. Analysts say using such funds would also enable GIC to reach into less familiar investment areas as it could rely on the funds’ expertise. However, the limited number of these funds operating in high-growth markets could be a constraint. MAJOR CONSTRA...

Private equity players in India focusing at hospitality and education secto
2008-02-02 20:21:00 By Vipin Agnihotri Private equity players in India are focusing at hospitality sector and education firms at this moment of time.

According to sources, agriculture-based research companies are attracting investors. On the other hand, in the energy sector, private equity investors have invested more than $250 million across 11 deals over the past nine months. In my opinion, power and power utility services are the most vibrant sub-segments of energy sector. It has been noticed that hotel sector is attracting plenty of private equity investors.
