GUY FRASER-SAMPSON has over twenty years' experience of the
private equity industry, most notably having set up and run for
several years the European operations of Horsley Bridge. As a
partner in the firm, and Managing Director of Horsley Bridge
International, he had a unique opportunity to interact
simultaneously with private equity managers from all over the
world, including famous ‘golden circle’ venture firms
based predominantly in California. He previously lived and worked
in the Middle East as Investment Controller with the Abu Dhabi
Investment Authority (ADIA).
He has extensive experience of the evaluation of private equity managers, including having personally designed and developed a computer model for the evaluation of buyout performance, but is equally recognised as an expert on venture capital. In addition to his work with funds, he has also conducted direct, secondary and mezzanine transactions over the years.
Guy teaches post-graduate modules on private equity and investment strategy at Cass Business School in the City of London, and is also recognised as an authority on all types of alternative assets. He performs consultancy and high level executive training assignments for clients around the world, and is also in demand as a provider of keynote addresses at investment conferences. In addition to various professional qualifications, he holds an LLB with honours from King's College London, and an MBA majoring in finance from Warwick Business School.
Guy writes for a number of finance and investment publications, including his influential monthly column in Real Deals. He is the author of Multi-Asset Class Investment Strategy, also published as part of the Wiley Finance series, which questions accepted views of risk and return, and sets out ways in which investors could and should incorporate a wide range of so-called alternative assets into their planned portfolios. He conducts regular investor workshops around the world based upon his books.
