Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.</p>\n<p>Instead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.</p>\n<p>As a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.</p>\n<p>This “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.</p>\n<p>Both the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.</p>\n<p>Clearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”</p>\n<p>As someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know do<i>not</i>want to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.</p>\n<p>What Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.</p>\n<p>The good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.</p>\n<p>This is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.</p>\n<p>However, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.</p>\n<p><b>Taking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>I’m talking about <b>Nio, Inc.</b>(NYSE:<b>NIO</b>). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio back in February.</p>\n<p>The company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.</p>\n<p>The company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies like<b>NVIDIA Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b>NVDA</b>), another one of my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government.

Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.\nInstead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.\nAs a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.\nThis “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.\nBoth the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.\nClearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”\nAs someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know donotwant to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.\nWhat Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.\nThe good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.\nThis is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.\nHowever, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.\nTaking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential\nI’m talking about Nio, Inc.(NYSE:NIO). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio back in February.\nThe company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.\nThe company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies likeNVIDIA Corporation(NASDAQ:NVDA), another one of myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.\nNow, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.\nWith the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.\nThat means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.\nShares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%. First, NIO revealed that the global chip shortage is starting to take a toll on its business. NIO only delivered 6,711 vehicles in May, or a 5.5% decline from April’s deliveries. Company management noted that deliveries were “adversely impacted for several days due to the volatility of semiconductor supply and certain logistical adjustments.”\nInterestingly, despite the month-to-month dip, NIO’s deliveries were still up 95.3% year-over-year. Strong demand in China even inspired a Citigroup analyst to upgrade NIO to a buy rating, as he expects demand to accelerate in the coming months.\nIn other words, NIO represents thecrème de la crèmeof EV stocks right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":191,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":123833796,"gmtCreate":1624414937215,"gmtModify":1631891445468,"author":{"id":"3586259444797567","authorId":"3586259444797567","name":"Venses","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586259444797567","idStr":"3586259444797567"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/123833796","repostId":"2145069502","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2145069502","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com

Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.</p>\n<p>Instead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.</p>\n<p>As a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.</p>\n<p>This “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.</p>\n<p>Both the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.</p>\n<p>Clearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”</p>\n<p>As someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know do<i>not</i>want to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.</p>\n<p>What Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.</p>\n<p>The good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.</p>\n<p>This is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.</p>\n<p>However, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.</p>\n<p><b>Taking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>I’m talking about <b>Nio, Inc.</b>(NYSE:<b>NIO</b>). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio back in February.</p>\n<p>The company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.</p>\n<p>The company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies like<b>NVIDIA Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b>NVDA</b>), another one of my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.</p>\n<p>With the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.</p>\n<p>That means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.</p>\n<p>Shares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%.

Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.\nInstead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.\nAs a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.\nThis “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.\nBoth the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.\nClearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”\nAs someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know donotwant to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.\nWhat Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.\nThe good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.\nThis is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.\nHowever, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.\nTaking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential\nI’m talking about Nio, Inc.(NYSE:NIO). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio back in February.\nThe company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.\nThe company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies likeNVIDIA Corporation(NASDAQ:NVDA), another one of myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.\nNow, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.\nWith the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.\nThat means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.\nShares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%. First, NIO revealed that the global chip shortage is starting to take a toll on its business. NIO only delivered 6,711 vehicles in May, or a 5.5% decline from April’s deliveries. Company management noted that deliveries were “adversely impacted for several days due to the volatility of semiconductor supply and certain logistical adjustments.”\nInterestingly, despite the month-to-month dip, NIO’s deliveries were still up 95.3% year-over-year. Strong demand in China even inspired a Citigroup analyst to upgrade NIO to a buy rating, as he expects demand to accelerate in the coming months.\nIn other words, NIO represents thecrème de la crèmeof EV stocks right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":191,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129036678,"gmtCreate":1624342552695,"gmtModify":1631891445510,"author":{"id":"3586259444797567","authorId":"3586259444797567","name":"Venses","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586259444797567","authorIdStr":"3586259444797567"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/129036678","repostId":"1161710506","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161710506","pubTimestamp":1624340790,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1161710506?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-22 13:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Family offices tap into the Spac boom","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161710506","media":"FT","summary":"Last year, when Isabelle Freidheim was preparing to launch a special purpose acquisition company (Sp","content":"<p>Last year, when Isabelle Freidheim was preparing to launch a special purpose acquisition company (Spac) and join the trend for speculative investments that had so captivated Wall Street last year, one of the first people she contacted to raise the money to get started was Candice Beaumont.</p>\n<p>The two women had known each other since they started in finance two decades ago. Freidheim was eager to engage Beaumont as an adviser to and investor in Athena Technology Acquisition Corp, an all-women-led Spac that Freidheim had co-founded. These investment units have been playing a key roles in the wider Spacs boom — due to their flexibility and relationships with other wealthy deal backers. “Right away, I was like, I’d be delighted to help, I’d be delighted to invest, and I’d be delighted to recommend other women to the board,” says Beaumont.</p>\n<p>Soon afterwards, Beaumont put up part of the risk capital for Freidheim’s Athena Technology Acquisition Corp vehicle — money that is typically used to fund the sponsor team’s expenses, such as fees, legal advice or staff, as they hunt a target. Beaumont also brought in Kay Koplovitz, a friend and former chief executive of the USA Network cable television company, to the Athena board. In March, the Spac raised $250m in its initial public offering (IPO).</p>\n<p>Spacs, which are essentially shell companies set up by their sponsors with the aim of finding a business to acquire and take public through a merger, have boomed during the pandemic. Also known as blank-cheque investment vehicles, they have gone from being largely shunned on Wall Street to raising more than $100bn so far this year, according to Refinitiv, eclipsing the total for 2020.</p>\n<p>Family offices have participated in the boom, albeit in smaller numbers than hedge funds and other institutional investors. Among the most prominent names active in the sector are the family offices of tech entrepreneur Michael Dell, billionaire real estate mogul Barry Sternlicht and former hedge fund executive Dan Och. Some billionaires have even set up their own Spacs, with or without family office backing, including former Facebook executive Chamath Palihapitiya and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. Billionaire financier George Soros’s family office has also begun hunting for Spac opportunities.</p>\n<p>The clock starts ticking once a Spac goes public, typically at an IPO price of $10 a share. They normally have two years to complete a merger that shareholders will have to approve. Sponsors often need additional capital to complete the transactions, which are financed through private investments in public equity (Pipes).</p>\n<p>Investors have various options to participate. Some, like Beaumont with Athena, contribute to the risk capital for the sponsor — an investment that typically comes in exchange for private placement warrants and gives backers the opportunity to buy shares or warrants, or both, in the combined company later, at a pre-agreed price.</p>\n<p>If there is no deal at the end of the countdown and the Spac fails to get shareholders to agree to an extension, the risk-capital investors lose their money.</p>\n<p>Investors can also buy units, comprising common shares and warrants, in the Spac at the IPO or acquire shares on the public market once the blank-cheque company starts trading; the latter route has given opportunities to retail investors during the past year. Pipes are another entry point for investors.</p>\n<p>Among wealth managers, there is a widely cited credo that “if you’ve seen one family office, you’ve seen one family office” — high-net-worth individuals’ investment operations defy generalisation. Their capital pools are not bound by a need to provide pension payouts or endowment-funded scholarships. Plus, a lack of disclosure requirements makes it difficult to follow family offices — something that has attracted renewed scrutiny after the implosion of financier Bill Hwang’s family office Archegos.</p>\n<p>Family offices, most obviously, are about relationships, perhaps more so than in other areas of finance. The meeting of minds between Freidheim and Beaumont captures that well — they first met when Freidheim was an analyst at Lehman Brothers, the now-defunct broker, and Beaumont worked at Lazard, the investment boutique.</p>\n<p>Since then, both have risen through the ranks on Wall Street. Freidheim joined Invesco’s private equity group after leaving Lehman and later was an investor at venture capital funds The London Fund and MissionOG. In 2018, she founded her own investment firm with a focus on growth tech companies. Beaumont also took the private capital route. After several years in Lazard’s mergers and acquisitions practice, she worked as a private equity principal at hedge fund Argonaut Capital before joining L Investments as CIO in 2013.</p>\n<p>With risk capital and IPO investments in a Spac — which require a high level of conviction and trust from investors that a sponsor has the ability to find a lucrative target company to take public — “it comes down to the track record of this team; what have they done before, who are they?” says Alex Chaloff, co-head of investment strategies at Bernstein Private Wealth Management. “In the family office space, which is such a Rolodex universe, it’s really who you know,” he adds.</p>\n<p>Family offices also tend to be more flexible with their capital. For some, that means prioritising capital preservation at all cost; for others, it means being more comfortable with taking on riskier bets for potentially higher upside than other asset managers might. But they are not immune to Wall Street trends, and Spacs are just the latest example of that.</p>\n<p>“Family offices are largely exempt from registering with the SEC [US Securities and Exchange Commission] and they’ve got a lot of great connections,” says Jane Leung, chief investment officer at Silicon Valley Bank. “They’re able to have a lot more flexibility and nimbleness when it comes to making investments in Spacs.”</p>\n<p>The result is a patchwork of family office activity across the blank-cheque vehicle universe. The Dell family office’s Spac, MSD Acquisition Corp, was launched this year, raising $575m in its IPO.</p>\n<p>Starwood Capital Group founder Sternlicht has been involved with at least six Spacs. His Jaws Acquisition Corp last year announced a planned merger with healthcare company Cano Health, while his Jaws Spitfire Acquisition Corp will merge with 3D printing company Velo3D. Hedge fund investor Och, who launched his Spac Ajax I last year, said in March the company was planning to merge with car sales portal Cazoo in a $7bn deal.</p>\n<p>Yet, in recent months, concerns have grown about the health of the Spac market and deal flow has slowed. While Spacs raised more than $93bn in IPO proceeds and an additional $232bn in merger funding in the first quarter of this year alone, those numbers have dipped, with only $7bn in IPO and $109bn in acquisition proceeds in the second quarter, as of May 21, according to Refinitiv data.</p>\n<p>Family office investors have not held back in their criticism of sponsors with little dealmaking experience and “frothy” trading. “It’s a lot out of control — if you can walk, you can launch a Spac,” Sternlicht told CNBC in March. “We’ve done over 150 investments in my family office, so we see, we know these people.” He added that, in the Pipes market especially, investor sentiment has shifted, with institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity putting the brakes on rushed deals and sky-high valuations. For some family offices that are not necessarily eager to launch Spacs themselves, that has created new opportunities.</p>\n<p>Dawn Fitzpatrick, chief investment officer of Soros’s private family office, told Bloomberg in March: “When it came to [Spac] Pipes, it was a sellers’ market and you had to take the terms. Now it feels like Pipes are going to get done where the buyers can be smart structurers. We think that could get very interesting when the target company is attractive.”</p>\n<p>Public trading of Spacs has cooled, as well. That has caused many Spac shares to trade below the legally protected trust value of the usual $10 plus accrued interest. For investors, including family offices, that has created an arbitrage opportunity, because Spac investors can redeem shares for their fair trust value if there is no deal, or if they do not want to stay invested after the deal.</p>\n<p>Peter Weprin, an adviser to family office Hemingway Group, says buying Spac shares at or below their IPO price can be a “clever alternative” to regular equity investing in an environment where stocks are expensive and have become more volatile, with some fearing a correction on the horizon. “If the market goes off a cliff, Spacs will be the best ‘performing’ part of a long portfolio because, in essence, you don’t lose a penny, as long as you are pre-merger and you have the time to wait to redeem,” Weprin says.</p>\n<p>Alex Band, head of public equities at Partners Capital, which manages portfolios of family offices and institutional investors, says his team is “most active” in arbitrage opportunities with Spacs. “It’s a pretty good investment if you execute it in a disciplined way,” he says.</p>\n<p>Athena shares are still trading around their fair-trust value as its sponsor team is hunting for a tech company to acquire, ideally one that shows some alignment with the values of Freidheim and her co-lead Phyllis Newhouse, an entrepreneur and former US army cyber-security specialist.</p>\n<p>Freidheim, who is the Spac’s chair, says she assembled her team of advisers and investors — comprising a former SEC commissioner, former chief executives, dealmakers and bankers — on the basis of who would be most helpful and not, as often, most generous with their financial resources.</p>\n<p>Beaumont fits in as a highly networked family investor with a strong record of sourcing deals internationally. Global experience has become increasingly important, as US sponsors have looked abroad for targets to avoid competition from the near-500 blank-cheque companies that have launched since the start of 2019 and were still looking for a deal as of late May.</p>\n<p>“It’s a very different perspective,” Freidheim says. “So it was important to me to have someone like Candice at the table.”</p>","source":"lsy1607686395552","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Family offices tap into the Spac boom</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nFamily offices tap into the Spac boom\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-22 13:46 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.ft.com/content/059ce5cd-f166-4e9d-8795-d415bf3f7f25?ftcamp=traffic/partner/feed_headline/us_yahoo/auddev><strong>FT</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Last year, when Isabelle Freidheim was preparing to launch a special purpose acquisition company (Spac) and join the trend for speculative investments that had so captivated Wall Street last year, one...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.ft.com/content/059ce5cd-f166-4e9d-8795-d415bf3f7f25?ftcamp=traffic/partner/feed_headline/us_yahoo/auddev\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.ft.com/content/059ce5cd-f166-4e9d-8795-d415bf3f7f25?ftcamp=traffic/partner/feed_headline/us_yahoo/auddev","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161710506","content_text":"Last year, when Isabelle Freidheim was preparing to launch a special purpose acquisition company (Spac) and join the trend for speculative investments that had so captivated Wall Street last year, one of the first people she contacted to raise the money to get started was Candice Beaumont.\nThe two women had known each other since they started in finance two decades ago.

Billionaire financier George Soros’s family office has also begun hunting for Spac opportunities.\nThe clock starts ticking once a Spac goes public, typically at an IPO price of $10 a share. They normally have two years to complete a merger that shareholders will have to approve. Sponsors often need additional capital to complete the transactions, which are financed through private investments in public equity (Pipes).\nInvestors have various options to participate. Some, like Beaumont with Athena, contribute to the risk capital for the sponsor — an investment that typically comes in exchange for private placement warrants and gives backers the opportunity to buy shares or warrants, or both, in the combined company later, at a pre-agreed price.\nIf there is no deal at the end of the countdown and the Spac fails to get shareholders to agree to an extension, the risk-capital investors lose their money.\nInvestors can also buy units, comprising common shares and warrants, in the Spac at the IPO or acquire shares on the public market once the blank-cheque company starts trading; the latter route has given opportunities to retail investors during the past year. Pipes are another entry point for investors.\nAmong wealth managers, there is a widely cited credo that “if you’ve seen one family office, you’ve seen one family office” — high-net-worth individuals’ investment operations defy generalisation. Their capital pools are not bound by a need to provide pension payouts or endowment-funded scholarships. Plus, a lack of disclosure requirements makes it difficult to follow family offices — something that has attracted renewed scrutiny after the implosion of financier Bill Hwang’s family office Archegos.\nFamily offices, most obviously, are about relationships, perhaps more so than in other areas of finance. The meeting of minds between Freidheim and Beaumont captures that well — they first met when Freidheim was an analyst at Lehman Brothers, the now-defunct broker, and Beaumont worked at Lazard, the investment boutique.\nSince then, both have risen through the ranks on Wall Street. Freidheim joined Invesco’s private equity group after leaving Lehman and later was an investor at venture capital funds The London Fund and MissionOG. In 2018, she founded her own investment firm with a focus on growth tech companies. Beaumont also took the private capital route. After several years in Lazard’s mergers and acquisitions practice, she worked as a private equity principal at hedge fund Argonaut Capital before joining L Investments as CIO in 2013.\nWith risk capital and IPO investments in a Spac — which require a high level of conviction and trust from investors that a sponsor has the ability to find a lucrative target company to take public — “it comes down to the track record of this team; what have they done before, who are they?” says Alex Chaloff, co-head of investment strategies at Bernstein Private Wealth Management. “In the family office space, which is such a Rolodex universe, it’s really who you know,” he adds.\nFamily offices also tend to be more flexible with their capital. For some, that means prioritising capital preservation at all cost; for others, it means being more comfortable with taking on riskier bets for potentially higher upside than other asset managers might. But they are not immune to Wall Street trends, and Spacs are just the latest example of that.\n“Family offices are largely exempt from registering with the SEC [US Securities and Exchange Commission] and they’ve got a lot of great connections,” says Jane Leung, chief investment officer at Silicon Valley Bank. “They’re able to have a lot more flexibility and nimbleness when it comes to making investments in Spacs.”\nThe result is a patchwork of family office activity across the blank-cheque vehicle universe. The Dell family office’s Spac, MSD Acquisition Corp, was launched this year, raising $575m in its IPO.\nStarwood Capital Group founder Sternlicht has been involved with at least six Spacs. His Jaws Acquisition Corp last year announced a planned merger with healthcare company Cano Health, while his Jaws Spitfire Acquisition Corp will merge with 3D printing company Velo3D. Hedge fund investor Och, who launched his Spac Ajax I last year, said in March the company was planning to merge with car sales portal Cazoo in a $7bn deal.\nYet, in recent months, concerns have grown about the health of the Spac market and deal flow has slowed. While Spacs raised more than $93bn in IPO proceeds and an additional $232bn in merger funding in the first quarter of this year alone, those numbers have dipped, with only $7bn in IPO and $109bn in acquisition proceeds in the second quarter, as of May 21, according to Refinitiv data.\nFamily office investors have not held back in their criticism of sponsors with little dealmaking experience and “frothy” trading. “It’s a lot out of control — if you can walk, you can launch a Spac,” Sternlicht told CNBC in March. “We’ve done over 150 investments in my family office, so we see, we know these people.” He added that, in the Pipes market especially, investor sentiment has shifted, with institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity putting the brakes on rushed deals and sky-high valuations. For some family offices that are not necessarily eager to launch Spacs themselves, that has created new opportunities.\nDawn Fitzpatrick, chief investment officer of Soros’s private family office, told Bloomberg in March: “When it came to [Spac] Pipes, it was a sellers’ market and you had to take the terms. Now it feels like Pipes are going to get done where the buyers can be smart structurers. We think that could get very interesting when the target company is attractive.”\nPublic trading of Spacs has cooled, as well. That has caused many Spac shares to trade below the legally protected trust value of the usual $10 plus accrued interest. For investors, including family offices, that has created an arbitrage opportunity, because Spac investors can redeem shares for their fair trust value if there is no deal, or if they do not want to stay invested after the deal.\nPeter Weprin, an adviser to family office Hemingway Group, says buying Spac shares at or below their IPO price can be a “clever alternative” to regular equity investing in an environment where stocks are expensive and have become more volatile, with some fearing a correction on the horizon. “If the market goes off a cliff, Spacs will be the best ‘performing’ part of a long portfolio because, in essence, you don’t lose a penny, as long as you are pre-merger and you have the time to wait to redeem,” Weprin says.\nAlex Band, head of public equities at Partners Capital, which manages portfolios of family offices and institutional investors, says his team is “most active” in arbitrage opportunities with Spacs. “It’s a pretty good investment if you execute it in a disciplined way,” he says.\nAthena shares are still trading around their fair-trust value as its sponsor team is hunting for a tech company to acquire, ideally one that shows some alignment with the values of Freidheim and her co-lead Phyllis Newhouse, an entrepreneur and former US army cyber-security specialist.\nFreidheim, who is the Spac’s chair, says she assembled her team of advisers and investors — comprising a former SEC commissioner, former chief executives, dealmakers and bankers — on the basis of who would be most helpful and not, as often, most generous with their financial resources.\nBeaumont fits in as a highly networked family investor with a strong record of sourcing deals internationally. Global experience has become increasingly important, as US sponsors have looked abroad for targets to avoid competition from the near-500 blank-cheque companies that have launched since the start of 2019 and were still looking for a deal as of late May.\n“It’s a very different perspective,” Freidheim says. “So it was important to me to have someone like Candice at the table.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":123830057,"gmtCreate":1624414845279,"gmtModify":1631891445513,"author":{"id":"3586259444797567","authorId":"3586259444797567","name":"Venses","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586259444797567","authorIdStr":"3586259444797567"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/123830057","repostId":"2145664330","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":240,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803216363,"gmtCreate":1627440971652,"gmtModify":1631891445427,"author":{"id":"3586259444797567","authorId":"3586259444797567","name":"Venses","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586259444797567","authorIdStr":"3586259444797567"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great opportunity!","listText":"Great opportunity!","text":"Great opportunity!","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd2569fb02ad4dc98b517ac117f29a70","width":"1080","height":"2279"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/803216363","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":335,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":123833796,"gmtCreate":1624414937215,"gmtModify":1631891445468,"author":{"id":"3586259444797567","authorId":"3586259444797567","name":"Venses","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586259444797567","authorIdStr":"3586259444797567"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/123833796","repostId":"2145069502","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":123839290,"gmtCreate":1624414897610,"gmtModify":1631891445478,"author":{"id":"3586259444797567","authorId":"3586259444797567","name":"Venses","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586259444797567","authorIdStr":"3586259444797567"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/123839290","repostId":"1139503540","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":166,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
