Private equity ghouls have a new way to steal from their investors

Private equity is quite a racket. PE managers pile up other peoples’ money — pension funds, plutes, other pools of money — and then “invest” it (buying businesses, loading them with debt, cutting wages, lowering quality and setting traps for customers). For this, they get an annual fee — 2% — of the money they manage, and a bonus for any profits they make.

On top of this, private equity bosses get to use the carried interest tax loophole, a scam that lets them treat this ordinary income as a capital gain, so they can pay half the taxes that a working stiff would pay on a regular salary. If you don’t know much about carried interest, you might think it has to do with “interest” on a loan or a deposit, but it’s way weirder. “Carried interest” is a tax regime designed for 16th century sea captains and their “interest” in the cargo they “carried”:

Private equity is a cancer. Its profits come from buying productive firms, loading them with debt, abusing their suppliers, workers and customers, and driving them into ground, stiffing all of them — and the company’s creditors. The mafia have a name for this. They call it a “bust out”:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/02/plunderers/#farben

Private equity destroyed Toys R Us, Sears, Bed, Bath and Beyond, and many more companies beloved of Main Street, bled dry for Wall Street:

And they’re coming for more. PE funds are “rolling up” thousands of Boomer-owned business as their owners retire. There’s a good chance that every funeral home, pet groomer and urgent care clinic within an hour’s drive of you is owned by a single PE firm. There’s 2.9m more Boomer-owned businesses going up for sale in the coming years, with 32m employees, and PE is set to buy ’em all:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/16/schumpeterian-terrorism/#deliberately-broken

PE funds get their money from “institutional investors.” It shouldn’t surprise you to learn they treat their investors no better than their creditors, nor the customers, employees or suppliers of the businesses they buy.

Pension funds, in particular, are the perennial suckers at the poker table. My parent’s pension fund, the Ontario Teachers’ Fund, are every grifter’s favorite patsy, losing $90m to Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency scam:

Pension funds are neck-deep in private equity, paying steep fees for shitty returns. Imagine knowing that the reason you can’t afford your apartment anymore is your pension fund gambled with the private equity firm that bought your building and jacked up the rent — and still lost money:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/02/25/pluralistic-your-daily-link-dose-25-feb-2020/

But there’s no depth too low for PE looters to sink to. They’ve found an exciting new way to steal from their investors, a scam called a “continuation fund.” Writing in his latest newsletter, the great Matt Levine breaks it down:

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/mergers-and-acquisitions/matt-levines-money-stuff-buyout-funds-buy-from-themselves

Here’s the deal: say you’re a PE guy who’s raised a $1b fund. That entitles you to a 2% annual “carry” on the fund: $20,000,000/year. But you’ve managed to buy and asset strip so many productive businesses that it’s now worth $5b. Your carry doesn’t go up fivefold. You could sell the company and collect your 20% commission — $800m — but you stop collecting that annual carry.

But what if you do both? Here’s how: you create a “continuation fund” — a fund that buys your old fund’s portfolio. Now you’ve got $5b under management and your carry quintuples, to $100m/year. Levine dryly notes that the FT calls this “a controversial type of transaction”:

https://www.ft.com/content/11549c33-b97d-468b-8990-e6fd64294f85

These deals “look like a pyramid scheme” — one fund flips its assets to another fund, with the same manager running both funds. It’s a way to make the pie bigger, but to decrease the share (in both real and proportional terms) going to the pension funds and other institutional investors who backed the fund.

A PE boss is supposed to be a fiduciary, with a legal requirement to do what’s best for their investors. But when the same PE manager is the buyer and the seller, and when the sale takes place without inviting any outside bidders, how can they possibly resolve their conflict of interest?

They can’t: 42% of continuation fund deals involve a sale at a value lower than the one that the PE fund told their investors the assets were worth. Now, this may sound weird — if a PE boss wants to set a high initial value for their fund in order to maximize their carry, why would they sell its assets to the new fund at a discount?

Here’s Levine’s theory: if you’re a PE guy going back to your investors for money to put in a new fund, you’re more likely to succeed if you can show that their getting a bargain. So you raise $1b, build it up to $5b, and then tell your investors they can buy the new fund for only $3b. Sure, they can get out — and lose big. Or they can take the deal, get the new fund at a 40% discount — and the PE boss gets $60m/year for the next ten years, instead of the $20m they were getting before the continuation fund deal.

PE is devouring the productive economy and making the world’s richest people even richer. The one bright light? The FTC and DoJ Antitrust Division just published new merger guidelines that would make the PE acquire/debt-load/asset-strip model illegal:

https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/07/ftc-doj-seek-comment-draft-merger-guidelines

The bad news is that some sneaky fuck just slipped a 20% FTC budget cut — $50m/year — into the new appropriations bill:

Background on the owner of the private jet

Marc Ganzi is an American businessman. He is the President and CEO of DigitalBridge, and is the founder and former CEO of Digital Bridge Holdings and Global Tower Partners. He is also a polo player.

He received a Bachelor of Science in business administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He interned in the White House for Stephen M. Studdert, special advisor to President George H. W. Bush in 1989. In 1990, Ganzi served as an assistant Commercial Attaché in Madrid for the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Foreign Commercial Service Department.

After graduation, Ganzi bought distressed real estate for Resolution Trust Corporation. He worked at Deutsche Bank, where he oversaw investments in the radio tower sector.

In 1993, he co-founded AD Development Corporation, a real estate development company in the Mid-Atlantic states, where he worked until 1994. He co-founded Apex Site Management, which was purchased by SpectraSite, and he served as group president for a year. In 1998, Ganzi founded Eureka Broadband, an application service provider and high-speed Internet access corporation. From 2000 to 2002, he was a partner in DB Capital Partners in New York City.

In 2003, he founded Global Tower Partners, a telecommunications company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. He served as its Chief Executive Officer and built the company into the largest privately held operator of U.S. cell towers. The company was purchased by Macquarie Group (ASX: MQG) in 2007, and, in 2013, American Tower Corporation (NYSE: AMT) acquired GTP for $4.8 billion.

In 2013, Ganzi and Ben Jenkins founded Digital Bridge Holdings, an investor and operator of mobile and internet connectivity companies. Digital Bridge Holdings was acquired by Colony Capital in 2019, where Ganzi took over as CEO-elect. On July 1, 2020, he became CEO and President of Colony Capital. In 2021, the company rebranded to become DigitalBridge, a digital infrastructure investment firm, and he remained in those respective positions.

DigitalBridge Group, Inc. is a global digital infrastructure investment firm. The company owns, invests in and operates businesses such as cell towers, data centers, fiber, small cells, and edge infrastructure. Headquartered in Boca Raton, DigitalBridge has key offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, and Singapore.

In 2010, DigitalBridge, then still Colony Capital, was reported to manage about $30 billion in investments. In 2011, DigitalBridge was tied for 3rd largest private equity real estate fund in the world, behind Blackstone Group and Morgan Stanley Real Estate

Colony purchased Raffles International on July 18, 2005. This included the 41 hotels and resorts operated under the Raffles Hotel and Swissotel brand names. On January 30, 2006, it acquired Fairmont Hotels and Resorts of Toronto, Ontario with Kingdom Hotels International as a joint partner for US$3.24 billion.[citation needed] On April 10, 2006, it acquired French professional football team Paris Saint-Germain.

On November 11, 2008, Michael Jackson transferred the title of his 2,700 acre estate Neverland Ranch to Sycamore Valley Ranch Company LLC, a joint venture between Jackson (represented by attorney, L. Londell McMillan) and an affiliate of Colony Capital. It is still unclear whether Colony Capital has a part in the property. Jackson earned a total of US$35 million when he agreed to the joint venture between himself and Colony Capital.

In March 2010, Colony arranged a financing and marketing package for Annie Leibovitz. The New York celebrity photographer had been in financial difficulty and in danger of losing to her previous lender, ArtCapital, the rights to her photographs and negatives and her three Greenwich Village townhouses. ArtCapital's credit was for $24 million. In December 2010, Colony purchased Miramax from Disney with Qatar Investment Authority, Tutor-Saliba Corporation and The Weinstein Company as part of a joint venture called Filmyard Holdings for $663 million.

In September 2017, Colony NorthStar agreed to sell its Townsend Group unit to Aon for $475 million.

In October 2017, Colony entered discussions to purchase The Weinstein Company, a movie and TV production studio that sustained damage after its co-founder, Harvey Weinstein, was accused of multiple counts of sexual harassment over three decades. In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal, in late October 2017, it was reported that Colony Capital LLC had proved hesitant to purchase Weinstein Co. after a week of exclusive negotiations. Fortress Investment Group was also in talks to provide a loan to Weinstein Co.

In June 2018, The New York Times reported that Colony North Star had raised more than $7 billion in investments since Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. 24 percent of the money came from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

In April 2022, DigitalBridge bought out Wafra’s stake in its investment management subsidiary for $800 million and switched from REIT to traditional C-Corp. DigitalBridge announced and initiated several acquisitions during 2022 including AMP Capital's global infrastructure equity investment management business for $328 million and Switch, Inc., a data center company, for $11 billion. The firm sold 27 percent of its stake in DataBank to Swiss Life and EDF Invest for $1.2 billion. DigitalBridge said it would own 15.5 percent of DataBank after the sale.

Thanks!

He looks a lot like that Mark Dyer guy that used to keep tabs on Harry.

Whether you lead a startup, a small to medium-sized enterprise, or a big corporation, the need for effective strategies and sound decision-making goes without saying. It would make sense for you to work with business consulting firms in Ontario to gain all the expertise you need.

These firms are trusted advisors and partners in your journey towards sustainable growth as well as higher profitability and efficiency. Their services are designed to provide strategic guidance, offer objective insights, and deliver tailored solutions that address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by your organization.

Let's dig deeper into what business consulting firms do and why you should consider engaging their services.

Smart Business Planning

Primarily, business consultants are professionals who assist in strategic planning. They work with your leadership team to identify and set clear objectives, create a roadmap, and develop actionable plans that align with your business's vision and mission. These plans are geared toward driving long-term success and achieving key performance indicators (KPIs).

Expertise in Diverse Industries

Business consulting firms often have a wealth of experience across various industries, allowing them to bring valuable insights and best practices from different sectors. They can apply this broad knowledge to your specific industry and tailor solutions that suit your unique needs.

Streamlining process

Consultants evaluate your existing processes, workflows, and systems to identify areas for improvement. They streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and optimize resource allocation to ensure maximum productivity and cost-effectiveness.

Market Research and Analysis

Staying competitive in a fast-paced business environment requires up-to-date market intelligence. One of the major advantages of working with business consulting firms in Ontario is their access to in-depth market research, helping you to understand market trends, consumer behaviors, and the competitive landscape.

Managing organizational change is another critical function of business consultants. They guide you through the process of implementing new technologies, procedures, or restructuring, ensuring a smooth transition and the acceptance of change among your team.

Risk Management and Compliance

In an increasingly regulated business environment, consultants help you navigate compliance and mitigate risks. They ensure your operations are aligned with legal requirements and industry standards, safeguarding your reputation and avoiding costly penalties.

Using Technology Effectively

The rapid evolution of technology can leave businesses struggling to keep up. Business consulting firms offer guidance on adopting the latest tech solutions that align with your objectives and enhance productivity, from CRM systems to data analytics tools.

Talent Development

Your employees are your most valuable asset. Consultants work on talent development, offering guidance on hiring, training, and retaining top talent. This focus on human capital ensures your workforce is skilled and motivated to drive your business forward.

What You Should Know About Wills and Powers of Attorney

It’s never too early to start thinking about planning for your future, and a crucial part of that planning involves creating a will or power of attorney (PoA). These legal documents are essential for ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that your health and financial affairs are taken care of if you’re unable to make decisions for yourself.

In this blog, we will explain what wills and powers of attorney are, what you can do with them, and why you should work with wills and estate lawyers near you to prepare them.

What Is a Will?

A will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets to be distributed after your death. Having a will is essential because, without one, your assets will be distributed according to the Succession Law Reform Act. If that happens, your assets may be distributed in a way that does not align with your wishes.

Who Executes a Will?

You can name an executor in your will (commonly a trusted St. Catharines law firm) responsible for carrying out your wishes and distributing your assets. You can also name guardians for any minor children you have.

Preparing a Will Valid Under Ontario Law

To be valid, your will must meet specific requirements under Ontario’s laws, which is why most people approach a will lawyer to prepare theirs. It must be in writing, signed by you (or someone in your presence and on your behalf), and witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries named in the will. People also update their wills after significant life changes, such as after marriage, the birth of a child, and divorce.

What Is a Power of Attorney?

A PoA is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to decide on your behalf. Ontario has two types of PoAs: personal care and property.

Power of attorney for personal care – It gives someone else the authority to make decisions about your health care, medical treatment, and personal needs. This includes decisions about where you live, what medical treatment you receive, and who can visit you.

Power of attorney for property- It gives someone else the authority to manage your financial affairs, including paying bills, managing investments, and selling property.

To be valid, a PoA must be in writing, signed by you, and witnessed by two people who are not the attorney or related to the attorney by blood or marriage.

Do You Need a St. Catharines Law Firm for a Valid Will or PoA?

It is not necessary to hire a lawyer to prepare a valid will or power of attorney in Ontario, but it is highly advisable you consult with a will lawyer.

Wills and PoAs are powerful, binding legal documents that can impact your interests. You must discuss matters thoroughly with experienced wills and estates lawyers near you to ensure you don’t prejudice your interests or leave for misunderstandings further down the line.

Distribute Assets and Manage Your Life the Way You Want With the Leading Wills and Estate Lawyers Near You

Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your goals. We take the time to understand your priorities and build your confidence in your next steps. In over 60 years of representing clients in St. Catharines and the Niagara region, we have helped clients prepare watertight wills and clearly defined powers of attorney and manage their affairs confidently.
