Capital Corporate SL held its second conference in Madrid on 15th November 2001. The event was sponsored by 3i Europe, KPMG, Mercapital Servicios Financieros, and co-sponsored by Baker & McKenzie, DT Directores de TransiciÃ³n and Eurohold. There were over 300 delegates in attendance.

The programme began with presentations by Capital Corporate SL, Cinco DÃas, the ASCRI and KPMG Corporate Finance. This was followed by a lively debate, which touched on issues including competition, globalisation, the role of corporate financiers, and the future of the market after the downturn. The panel consisted of Mark Heappey from 3i Europe, Jean-FranÃ§ois Alandry from Eurohold, Alvaro de Remedios from Deutsche Bank Investment Banking and Javier Loizaga from Mercapital Servicios Financieros.

A round table cocktail was the next item on the agenda and covered a range of topics including discussions on the valuation of companies in the new economy (led by Kiriako Vergos on behalf of Spark Inversiones), funds-of-funds (Charles Soulignac for Fondinvest Capital), the auction process (Juan DÃaz Laviada and Luis Camilleri from Dresdner Kleinwort Capital), seed capital (Christian FernÃ¡ndez representing Barcelona EmprÃ¨n), and corporate restructuring (Enrique Bujidos on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers).

The afternoon programme was divided into two sets of themed conferences. The first of these covered various M&A related topics and case studies. Among the subjects that related to the private equity industry were how to evaluate management teams, secondary buy-outs and sourcing big deals. The last session of the conference included a look at emerging trends in Spanish private equity such as the use of mezzanine and build-ups.
