LBO Outlook From Kravis
|
|
The reopening of credit and speculative debt spreads returning to pre-crisis levels is helping buyout firms and lenders alike emerge from the past year's turmoil. But LBO funds are largely shut out of bidding for troubled financial institutions at this time, due to the rise of strategic acquirers (other banks) and regulatory restraints on private equity.

Our Take: Where Bonus Forecasts Come From
|
|
The past month has produced an outpouring of reports about banks' expected year-end payouts to employees. Although I suspect very few eFinancialCareers users depend on the news media when assessing your own bonus prospects, it can't hurt to be informed what goes into the sausage-vat that spews headlines like "Wall Street's Bonus Babies" and "Wall Street's Bonus Army Pulls Bank Robbery."
