Estudo sobre a captação dos fundos de Private Equity e Venture Capital

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the factors that might explain the fundraising of Private Equity and Venture Capital funds (PE/VC). Generally, the proposal is to investigate empirically what are the factors that impact on fundraising of PE/VC funds. The sample was composed of 25 countries and a timeline of 6 years (2006-2011). Six factors were identified: Economic Activity, Development of Stock Markets, Corporate Governance, Social-environmental Development, Entrepreneurship and Taxation. I constructed through factor analysis six factors that were composed of 26 variables. Through multiple regression were investigated relationships between fundraising of PE/VC funds and the factors generated. The results showed that despite the significant factors being tested, the uptake of resources is strongly influenced by the level of development of the stock market. The findings become relevant because argue a growing reality in Brazil and the world, since the market for PE/VC solidifies itself as an alternative of fundraising.
