Today\u2019s show is a panel about the merits of private equity. On one side is Sachin Khajuria. a former partner at Apollo and twenty-five-year veteran of the industry, who recently authored \u201cTwo and Twenty.\u201d Sachin was a past guest on the show discussing his book and that conversation is replayed in the feed.
On the other is Brendan Ballou, a federal prosecutor who serves on the special counsel for private equity in the Justice Department\u2019s antitrust division and recently authored \u201cPlunder: Private Equity\u2019s Plan to Pillage America,\u201d highlighting controversy and potential flaws in private market investing.
Our conversation begins with Sachin\u2019s view on private markets as an essential value-additive element of the economy and Brendan\u2019s thesis on the inadequacy of the legal structure surrounding the activity. We discuss incentives, investment duration, failed deals, fees, operational effectiveness, legal environment, risk, and broad education about the space. While the titles of their books might suggest a point-counterpoint discussion, the thoughtful nuance Sachin and Brendan bring to the table offer more commonality and food for thought than difference.
