 Demographic shifts in the US population have made a significant difference to the changes in the private equity market, argue Philip Alphonse, Thomas Hellmann and Jane Wei of Stanford Graduate Business School. As a percentage of the total US population, Asian, Black and Hispanic populations have been steadily increasing during the 90s, education levels are rising, and with them minority-owned businesses. These companies have evolved from small, locally focused start-ups to established players in expanding markets, ensuring that minority private equity is becoming more and more relevant to the market as a whole.
In this study, the authors examine the state of the minority private equity market, and predict that changes in the Small Business Investment Corporation funding programme will have significant impact on it, so that experimentation with new investment strategies, concepts and definitions will generate both opportunity and turmoil.
