Thanks to a political scandal linked to a coin Ohio traders, a number of Corporate Venture Capital and buy-out of companies - including some of the biggest area of Washington State name - there is a risk of important information about their investments to liberate the world.

Last month, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation backed off at the last minute, sharing assessment details on over 65 private equity fund in which the Bureau an investor. While the decision was a victory for the Corporate Venture Capital and Buy-Out, society pressure to ensure that information quiet, the issue is now before a judge in Ohio.

If information is shared, I can tell you what L oews Cineplex Entertainment Corp.. worthwhile and weaknesses and strengths of private enterprise, because the Agency of Ohio is an investor in a buyout fund managed by the Landkreis based Carlyle Group, that 15 percent of Loews. In the same way, everyone in the situation to see how Thayer Capital Partners, another DC-Buyout society, values Heckethorne distributor of automotive parts Manufacturing Co., Baltimore’s Or, as the ABS Capital Partners values Arlington online all Security Inc. Cyveillance companies want to know what the team’s Carlyle Venture really think its investments in Herndon’s Secure Elements Inc.? This is also.

The Private Equity Community - the small but influential Club Venture capital and leveraged buyout partnerships, investing hundreds of billions of dollars in private companies - is to be reconciled in recent years on the disclosure of overall performance. Activist of the coerced State pension funds, that the change in the private equity players to hesitate. But there is widespread concern at the idea that Ohio, the Agency is to force disclosure of details concerning various investments - facts, the hearts of Private Equity business.

“Dangerous”, as Peter Barris, managing partner of New Enterprise Associates in Reston, itself (although it is recognizing the Ohio workers’ comp office is not among the investors NEA). ” Dumbest money all idiots “Daniel Primack, Editor-at - broad in the Private Equity week,” wrote Ohio Push for disclosure.

Private Equity companies object to disclosure, as investments are on the frontline for competitive reasons. Companies are afraid that information on a business strategy, technology, gains or losses reach competitors.

In 1998, he convinced the Bureau of Workers Compensation to invest 50 million dollars of money controlled by the State to a fund to invest in rare coins - a fund Noe be controlled.

While most public pensions and health insurance funds, some money in the “Alternative investments”, such as hedge funds or venture capital partnerships, rare coin funds are Investment least, outside the normal range.

The Toledo Blade has shown the usual April little investment in the past. Given that the newspaper peller, it was found that up to $ 13 million of the initial investment of coin is rare, then yes, is absent. Noe was accused at the expense of the Confederation of making illegal contributions to the re-election of President Bush’s election campaign in Ohio and is under investigation by the State for lack of resources rare coin . Noe The case has also led to an extensive survey of the Bureau of compensation practices of investment, not $ 215 million is not disclosed to losses in offshore hedge funds. The Columbus Dispatch a formal request of the state laws relating to public disclosure of evaluation data on all investments made by services, including individual investments of private equity fund.

THE OFFICE, caught in the glare of a scandal that has engulfed much on the state of the Republican leadership, was prepared in accordance with the press upon request. But on December 22, drew back from which the funds that the performance levels of data, not the performance of each investment in these funds. (Data from Bureau Release contain several errors, including repatriation of incorrect data for two Carlyle Run partnerships).

The controversy has again drawn attention to the potential conflict between transparency sought by banks to deposit public money and privacy is a major advantage of private companies to invest.

While government pension funds - mostly public pension systems and local staff and teachers - devote about 2 percent of their assets, or about $ 50 billion of the USA, private equity partnerships, their size and growing interest in Private Equity Investors them has made an important stop, if fund managers are on the road for money. More than 22 percent of all money in the Venture Capital Fund - about $ 5 billion invested last year - comes from public pension funds, according to the National Venture Capital Association. The rest comes from private pensions, banks, insurance companies, foundations and wealthy individuals. While some large private equity partnerships are not accept money from public pension funds, fearing that yields or other data available to the public, the vast majority of fund managers are public funds under its investor Mix.
