    Venture capital firms face tighter exit strategies
    2008-07-04 13:38:00
    The IPO market has crimped the most, with no venture-backed firms making the leap to going public during the second quarter of 2008, according to a report from Dow Jones VentureSource and a similar study from the National Venture Capital Association and Thomson Reuters.Combined with only five venture-backed offerings in the first quarter, the market for venture-backed IPO deals has plummeted from 43 deals in the first quarter of last year, the NVCA report found."The situation is concerning enough to be characterized as a capital markets crisis for the start-up community," the NVCA report read.There also does not seem to be many deals waiting in the pipeline. As of June 30, only 42 venture-backed companies had filed IPO papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That number is down 40% from a three-year high of 72 companies in the registration process in the third quarter of last year.The report from Dow Jones VentureSource added that 10 companies have pulled their IPO registra

    Reduce Capital Gains Tax in the Sale of a Business
    2008-06-28 11:32:27
    The sale of your business will be the largest financial transaction in your life. As a business owner, you have benefited from the growth in the value of your business tax free. Unfortunately when you sell your business, it is time to pay up with capital gains taxes. This post discusses an approach that allows you to again defer your capital gains taxes, maximizing the returns from your business sale. Hopefully, before selling a business, you meet with a CPA or tax accountant and get an estimate on how much of your proceeds will be going directly to Uncle Sam if you pay them in a lump sum at time of sale. You don't want to save this surprise for after all is said and done, because not only will it most likely be a shock, but you will have given up your chance to do anything about it. Planning is everything. For this article I will assume you are not doing a 1031 business exchange, that is selling your business and buying another similar business taking into consideration all the IRS g

    Capital Gains Tax Continues to Roil Economic Debate on Anniversary of Bush Tax Cut
    2008-05-26 23:00:00
    Tomorrow, May 28, 2008, is the fifth anniversary of the second round of Bush tax cuts to personal income, known officially as the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief and Reconciliation Act of 2003 (JGTRRA).Impatient with the economic stagnation that followed the enactment of the first Bush tax cut two years earlier, the Republican congress pushed JGTRRA through during the spring of 2003 to accelerate the tax rate cuts that were scheduled to occur in dribs and drabs over the next several years. JGTRRA also cut the tax rate on long-term capital gains from 20 percent to 15 percent. The Tax Foundation has expanded its historical table of capital gains tax rates, back in time to 1988 and forward into the future, when the current rate is scheduled to expire in 2011.The 2003 tax cut for capital gains was JGTRRA'a most controversial provision for two reasons.First is the Democratic Party theme that capital gains should be taxed at least as heavily as wages, and second is the Republican Party theme that

    Capital Gains, Dividends, and Taxes
    2008-05-25 10:24:00
    I've come across these questions several times in the last few days, so I thought I'd answer them to dispel some intuitions novice investors have.1. If I reinvest my dividends, do I have to pay taxes on them?Whether you reinvest your dividends or not, this decision will never (unless tax laws are changed) affect your taxes. Whether your dividends are taxed depends on what dividends you're talking about and in what kind of account you're receiving them.Let's start with regular stocks--like the ones traded on NYSE, NASDAQ, and Pink Sheets. In a regular, taxable brokerage account, or if you buy directly from the company in a taxable account (e.g., not as part of a 401(k), etc) you have to pay taxes on all your dividends. It does not matter if you reinvest your dividends or not. There are two ways in which regular stock dividends are taxed: ordinary income and qualified dividends.The ordinary income tax rate on dividends, or the ordinary dividend tax rate, is based on whatever tax bracket

    Why the venture capital model is broken
    2008-05-20 15:35:00
    Why should we care? Simply because while the 'smart money' is busy chasing huge hits, less sexy but perfectly viable ventures are getting ignored.Consider that, on average, 4,130 companies were backed annually by VC money between 1997 and 2004, according to figures compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Association. If 2 per cent are 'home runs' (defined as projects with annual returns of 100 per cent and up), then we're talking about a meager 83 home runs a year.Think about it: That means an enormous percentage of the 1,200 VC funds (even assuming some collaboration) are losing their shirts--let alone clearing those 20 pre cent hurdle rates demanded by investors to justify the risk. Indeed, the actual average return for early-stage VC funds during the 20-year periods ending between 1999 and 2005 was 17.3 per cent.

    Lessons from the father of venture capital
    2008-05-06 05:18:00
    French politicians often look enviously across the Atlantic at the entrepreneurial successes of the U.S. economy, such as Google Inc., Apple Inc., Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp. So it is a heavy irony that the man who founded the U.S. venture capital industry, helping to create many multibillion-dollar companies, came from France.In "Creative Capital," Spencer E. Ante, a Business Week journalist, recounts the life of a 20th century Renaissance man, Georges Doriot.Born in Paris in 1899, Doriot was the only son of a promising industrialist at the Peugeot car company and his schoolteacher wife. At age 21, Doriot sailed by steamship to the U.S. from his native France and went on to become a brigadier general in World War II, one of the most influential professors at Harvard Business School and founder of Instead, Europe's first business school.But his main achievement was to pioneer the U.S. venture capital industry in 1946 by setting up American Research & Development, which backed o

    luxury tour of the Russian capital
    2008-05-03 02:12:00
    Think about it: Moscow only has 35,000 hotel beds that you'd actually want to sleep in; the visa problem seems to be a slow-motion explosion happening before our eyes; Moscow is an arduous four-hour flight away from most western European capitals; and Moscow has officially been anointed most expensive city in the world.In fact, the more you think about it, the more it becomes clear that whoever decided to host the Champions League final in Moscow has never been anywhere near the Russian capital in their life. So, whichever team lifts the cup on 21 May, the result will be the same: chaos.

    RBS Plans $23.7 Bln Share Sale To Bolster Capital
    2008-04-22 06:13:14
    LONDON - The Royal Bank of Scotland on Tuesday said it planned to raise 12 billion pounds ($23.7 billion) through the sale of shares to existing investors in an attempt to bolster its shaky capital position. The sale, known as a rights issue, will be the biggest ever for a U.K. company and is needed to balance the impact of the ABN Amro acquisition and possible further pretax write-downs of 5.9 billion pounds in 2008. It also puts RBS second in the European capital-raising league table. Top of the table is Swiss giant UBS , which has raised around $28 billion through a rights issue and the sale of a stake to investors in Singapore and the Middle East since the credit crisis began. RBS also said it hopes disposals -- likely including its insurance arm and Angel Trains, its train leasing company -- will add roughly a further 4 billion pounds to its core capital. Other disposals are possible as long as the bank can get an acceptable price, CEO Fr

    National City May Get $7 Billion to Replenish Capital

    April 21 - National City Corp., Ohio's biggest bank and subprime lender, may get $6 billion to $7 billion from a group led by Corsair Capital LLC to bolster its balance sheet, said a person with knowledge of the situation. The investors will pay $5 a share, about 40 percent less than National City's closing price on April 18, said the person, who didn't want to be identified before a possible announcement later today. The company, led by Chief Executive Officer Peter Raskind, also plans to slash the quarterly dividend to 1 cent a share from 21 cents, the second cut this year, the person said. ``Shareholders continue to get penalized,'' said Gerard Cassidy, a Portland, Maine-based analyst at RBC Capital Markets, who has a ``sector perform'' rating on National City. ``It's another major company going to the capital markets to enable them to survive in this incredibly deflationary environment.''

Tan sólo se ha podido saber algo a través de Foro Recursos Humanos en el cual han resumido alguna de las ponencias, y se han hecho eco de los Premios Capital Humano. Por otro lado, dos de los participantes, Pilar Jericó y Juan Carlos Cubeiro sí han hecho lo propio en sus respectivos blogs, cosa que se agradece.Aún con todo parece que la 13ª edición ha sido un éxito y se ha superado un año más.

    Outlook for capital goods industries remain bleak in Q4
    2008-04-10 21:10:00
    The entire capital goods segment has been in the eye of the storm in the recent times owing to fears of overstretched valuation, slowdown in order execution and increasing margin pressure due to rising input costs, Sharekhan, one of the leading broking houses in India said. Consequently, the sector has underperformed the broader market, with the BSE Capital Goods Index correcting by 29.1% in the last quarter as compared with a 22.9% correction in the Sensex, it added.High raw material cost is likely to exert greater pressure on the margins of all the capital goods companies, as they would find it difficult to pass on the entire impact to customers. This combined with slower order execution has led to a sector de-rating. In line with this, Sharekhan has downgraded the valuation multiples and consequently the price targets for some of the companies under its coverage.Though there has been a slowdown of sorts in order execution lately, but Sharekhan thinks the same is a medium-term phenom

    Brussels Chocolate Capital of the World
    2008-04-06 11:17:11
    As the de facto capital of Europe, home to both the EU and the NATO headquarters, it's fair to say that Brussels plays a vital part in European society and global politics, and if you were asked to name something that makes Brussels famous then its role as the capital of European politics is bound to spring to mind. Then again, you may decide to answer more 'diplomatically', and name the other thing that Brussels is world famous for: chocolate! The image of the chocolate-obsessed Belgian also springs quickly to mind when thinking of Brussels - and with over 2,000 chocolate shops and factories around the country (many in Brussels itself), it is perhaps a stereotype that the Belgians would not only accept, but be very proud of too!And yet, there is something rather strange about this relationship between Belgium - a European country - and chocolate, a sweet treat made from the plant of the cocoa tree; a plant native to South America. So where does this connection come from? The story goe
