At work it is clear. 25% growth per year or we are all out of work. What more do you need, we are all in the same boat from the CEO on down. We used to run companies and share stock. Now private equity hands out money and goals and if the goals aren't met your company that is doing great and turning 15% per year evaporates on the next recap.

I'm not out of work just because one company goes under, though

If you have to grow 25% every year just to stay afloat, I hate to break it to you but your business model is shit

  I think he's saying they have to grow 25% per year to please their PE overlords.

    Ah. Well then yeah, I think it’s safe to say the business model of PE wealth extraction is broken. That or businesses that need to take on PE funding are probably not very sound.

      PE is what happens when a company dies - PE is how the carcass of the company rots.

  Private equity is not happy with 15% because they can get that by parking their money in a REIT. They are shooting for the moon, period. Once you take their money their is no backing out. It's to the moon or close up shop.

    What REITs have 15% return? That seems improbable.
