Hi Guys,
There are 2 questions from the reading that I think many study mates have confusion about.
- Leveraged recapaitalization. By definiation, this is to add equity or debt…into the balance sheet; hence, providng liqudity.
–>What is the difference in this and asking a bank to give you a loan with the firm used as a collateral? Except in this case, the broekrage firm is a PE.
- Index tracking tax optimization.
The book reads: “the portfolio is quantiatively designed to track a broad based market index on a pre-tax basis, and outperform it on an after tax basis”. What does this exactly translate to into understandable words? And how does an index tracking provides tax optimization?
