New investment lures the bears back to market

Article Abstract:

The venture capital industry, which provides equity for small quoted and unquoted companies, is expected to improve after prices started to fall at the end of 1991. The 'bulls,' Grosvenor Venture Managers, CINVen and Candover Investments invested heavily in 1991. The 'bears,' Electra, Charterhouse Development Capital and Apax Partners made few investments but are returning to the market. 1992 is seen as the year of development capital, with early stage investment unpopular. Companies with investments managed through difficult times will survive.

Africa: the final frontier for world investment

Article Abstract:

Foreign investors are beginning to take a growing interest in Africa. The South African stock market is already the fifth-largest emerging market in the world, and there are a number of South Africa funds available to private investors. However, the future of foreign investment in Africa as a whole will depend on developments in countries neighbouring South Africa. Egypt, where there is economic stability and privatisation is progressing well, will be particularly attractive.

Run for cover and jump the queue

Article Abstract:

There are now many different types of private medical insurance (PMI) schemes available, although demand is not rising very much at present and growth is not expected to return until there are clear signs of economic recovery. Schemes can offer very minimal or very comprehensive cover, and the premiums will directly reflect the level of cover offered. Factors such as no claims bonuses, loyalty bonuses and excesses should also be taken into account.
