Interesting report out today from Coller Capital

 Their 44th edition contains the following nugget in the section headed "Zombie funds":-

"Private equity’s longer holding periods, plus the elevated entry valuations that some firms paid before interest rates rose, appear to be coming home to roost in investor portfolios. Over half (54%) of respondents expect the number of zombie funds (where a GP is prolonging a fund’s life in order to maximise management fees) in their own portfolios to increase in the next two years."

Remind me... when is the next continuation vote? Rolling 5 years after the last share allotment which took place only 5 weeks ago. Oh well. Liquidation anyone?

WHY DOES THIS MATTER SO MUCH? Because the whole purpose of Merger Valuations is to provide a once in a lifetime Independent valaution of unquoted investments, something which the entire VCT sector is terrified of doing so they just "bribe" the likes of BDO into merely rubber-stamping the Investment Manager's numbers... AND LOOK WHERE THAT GOT THE OTV2 INVESTORS! £1bn written off after more than £250m paid to Octopus. Nice work if you can get it. Why are the Directors of Octop...
