Abstract

SUBJECT AREAS: Financial strategy, Intangible assets, Negotiations, Subsidiaries

CASE SETTINGS: United Kingdom; 25 employees; 2002-2003

Describes the dilemma facing Chris Masterson, the head of HSBC's private equity division, in negotiating this team's buyout of its organization from HSBC, its corporate parent since 1992. Discusses the pros and cons of being a captive fund and the delicate balance among many interests - limited partners, team members, the parent, and the investee companies - that must be maintained.
