Private Equity Association Names Judge

A private equity underwriter (PEU) trade group named its new CEO.  Dealbook reported:

The Private Equity Growth Capital Council plans to formally appoint Steve Judge as its chief executive on Monday

I offer a bolder, more penetrating name for the PEU association.

Private
Equity
Capital
Knowledge
Executed
Responsibly

I admit the name differs from their old standard.  But it seems PEU boys like nonstandard measures.

Let the PEU good times roll:

Buyout funds globally are seeking to raise about $165 billion, more than in 2006 at the height of the fundraising boom, according to Preqin.

Engorgement?  It's what you'd expect from the PECKER Network.

Update 8-10-22:  The PEU lobby has been recast as American Investment Council.  It's still full of peckers who successfully fought to keep its preferred "carried interest" taxation, yet again.  Blue Corporacrats showed their PEU love.
