CMBOR returns to Nottingham University after 2020 hiatus
The Centre for Private Equity and MBO Research (CMBOR), an academic institute focused on the study of private equity, has been relaunched as part of Nottingham University Business School.
CMBOR will be led by Dr Kevin Amess, associate professor in industrial economics at Nottingham University Business School and a former colleague of the late professor Mike Wright, the centre’s founder.
The centre was previously hosted by Imperial College London, a partnership that ended last year following the passing of Wright in 2019.
The University of Nottingham was CMBOR’s original host institution when the centre was founded in 1986. CMBOR will continue in its previous scope of independently analysing management buyouts and providing European private equity statistics.
PE house Equistone, having supported CMBOR since inception, has signed a new sponsorship agreement to fund the institute upon its return to the University of Nottingham.
CMBOR said it will issue its next half-yearly analysis of data on European buyout activity later this month.
