Interesting article on 'permanent equity funds' (PEF's) in acquiring SMB's.

My takeaways:
-PEF growth will mirror the recent growth in ETA.
-PEF's flexibility in deal structure is a competitive advantage.
-Capital allocation in PEF's portfolio is key.

Investor: "You can't structure a PE fund like that. That's not how things work."
Me: "Well, we did."
I: "That'll never work."
Me: "Probably"

By the way some talk, you'd guess 2-20 was on Moses's tablets. The PE industry/structure started in the mid-1960s (KKR/Orkin deal).
