Methodology: A short-term event study to detect a cumulative abnormal return around LBO exit announcement, multivariable regression and multinomial logit regression analyses.

Empirical foundation: A sample of 209 global LBO exits conducted by 16 listed private equity companies between 1998 and 2016
Conclusion: This paper has confirmed the existence of positive abnormal return on listed private equity stocks in short run around the LBO exit announcement. A new pecking order of exit strategies in term of wealth generation is found to be trade sale, secondary buyout and IPO. Additionally, we revealed that operating performance and macro conditions in the market significantly influence the intensiveness of LBO exits’ wealth effects. (Less)
