Finance Teach-in with alumnus Eric Sullivan: How changes in Capital Markets will impact virtually every business - Mon 10/24 at 12:30-1:30 in C125

Something extraordinary is currently happening in the Capital Markets. Central banks around the world continue with unprecedented efforts to manage down interest rates, in order to stimulate investment and economic growth. As a result, economies have strengthened, but speculative bubbles have formed in various asset classes. Bubbles tend to pop, and the Fed is proceeding gingerly to avoid that prospect, afraid of triggering another recession. But that's not the unusual part! What is likely to be transformative is that long held assumptions about how economic growth is likely to occur in the future are being rethought by capital markets leaders.

Capital Markets is a cross disciplinary field that brings together finance, venture capital, business planning and macroeconomics. An understanding of Capital Markets optimizes the connection between a company's internal Corporate Finance decisions and external market forces, which affect the timing, availability and cost of capital to the company.

Learn about upcoming changes in capital markets from alumnus Eric Sullivan, who has been working in capital markets most of his career, since he graduated from Haas in 1984. Sullivan is currently Principal and Co Founder of PCG Equity, an investment company and private hedge fund, which owns and manages billions of dollars worth of investments in various industries. For much of his career he has been an investment banker, specializing in leveraged buyouts of undervalued companies. During the dot com boom, Sullivan ran a venture capital fund, which was one of the first to focus on early stage angel investing in technology companies.
