About Us

Breakingviews.com is the world's leading source of agenda-setting financial insight. breakingviews has 25 correspondents and columnists based in London, New York, Paris, Washington, San Francisco and Madrid. Our aim is to become the lingua franca for the global financial community. Our real-time subscription service currently reaches around 15,000 financial professionals such as investment bankers, senior corporate executives, hedge fund managers, lawyers and private equity professionals.

We reach a broader audience of nearly 4.5m investors and opinion-formers via columns in the following influential newspapers: The New York Times (USA), The Telegraph (UK), The International Herald Tribune, Le Monde (France), El Pais and Cinco Dias (Spain), Handelsblatt (Germany), La Stampa (Italy), NRC Handelsblad (Netherlands), The National (UAE), The Business Times (Singapore), Mint (India) and L’Agefi (Switzerland).

That’s what a handful of venture capital firms did after the tech-boom when they couldn’t find profitable deals. With buyout firms struggling to invest amid moribund credit markets, it seems logical they’d consider doing the same. Don’t bet on it. Private equity’s return profile and fee structure gives buyout bosses no incentive to hand back funds.
