Are you looking for new perspectives and ways of professional  development? Do you want to advance not only professionally but also  personally? HHL’s part-time MBA program offers practical management knowledge and vital leadership skills — offering framework conditions that are perfectly tailored to your  professional commitments. At HHL, you will obtain an internationally  recognized MBA degree from one of the most renowned and venerable  business schools. This university-level Master’s degree will open up  entirely new career options for you. Seize the opportunity to enter a  new promising and fulfilling career path.

The  different strategies range from plain “rollup” acquisitions of similar  companies in the same region to the creation of more complex units by combining companies in different regions and/ or in adjacent end-markets. Empirical studies show that buy and build deals outperform  “normal” buyouts. However these strategies are often difficult to implement and require special skills and resources. In this session we will discuss challenges, rewards and success factors of buy&build  strategies.

This session is part of a broader lecture series surrounding the topic of private equity (PE).

Together with his guest Christopher Brackmann (Bridgepoint), Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schwetzler (HHL, Chair of Financial Management) discusses success factors of buy&build strategies in private equity led  buyouts. Christopher is a partner at Bridgepoint´s Frankfurt office and  leading the firm´s buyout activities in the DACH region. Holding a masters degree in management from HHL, he has collected extensive  experience in buyouts while working for the levered finance team of JP  Morgan in London before joining Bridgepoint in 2008.

The following topics will be highlighted and exploratively analyzed in the session:

• Do buy&build deals outperform?
• Challenges when implementing buy&build strategies
• The role of “multiple arbitrage in buy&build value creation
• Financing addon transactions in buy&build strategies

The talk will be held in English
