Summary: THIS IS AN AUDIO-ONLY VERSION OF A VIDEO INTERVIEW FOUND ON PRIVCAP.COM. VIEW THE FULL VIDEO HERE: The consumer sector drives the US economy and is also a big private equity target. But how can GPs make money amid such weak consumer spending? It’s a question our three experts are eager to answer. In this program - the first of a four-part Privcap series on private equity success in the consumer sector - Michael J. Grossman, Principal at McGladrey, Joan McCabe, Managing Partner of Brynwood Partners and Timothy Mayhew, Managing Director at Fenway Partners, explain how to identify consumer niches that are growing faster than the broader economy. Topics of discussion also include: identifying growth strategies, improving distribution channels (hello, Bentonville!) and how to profit by investing in a business with declining revenues. With consumer spending making up two-thirds of GDP, this video is essential viewing for any investor looking to grab a piece of it. The program also includes an expert Q8A with Michael J. Grossman of McGladrey, the sponsor of this video series.
