"On ne chosit pas d'etre Banquier On devient Banquier" Michel Pébereau (23 janvier 1942- ) Former BNP Paribas CEO.
Kalau mau tahu ceritanya, kenapa kok, aku ini jadi bankir atau investment banker atau juga Fund Manager. Wah ceritanya, udah dari dulu. Awalnya dari Kakek ayah aku, yang bernama Nico Bernhard Paul Graafland yg memulai karir beliau sebagai bankir di Nederlandsche Handel-Maatscappij Factorij -Batavia yang kemudian di gabung di Algemijn bank van Nerderland dan bergabung lagi dengan beberapa bank di negeri Belanda yang kemudian menjadi ABN AMRO sekarang. Dan kemudian ayahku co-founder bank di tahun 1960-an yang tidak sampai lama, yaitu Bank Mualim di Jawa tengah, Indonesia.
Yah...sekarang, Redland Merchant Capital Corporation is more a merchant bankers then anything else. We do Merger and Acquisition, as well as Private Equity Type transaction such as Venture Capital and even Hedge Fund.
Yap, everything is more a natural emerging process.
"The Early Beginning" : David at Boulevard du Souverain 7, at First "Redland" Office in Brussels in 1996.
David act as the Fund manager of Redland's first Private Investment Fund: "Millennium Development Investment Fund" was established to deal with the development of properties project in Jakarta Kemayoran, International Trade City Development Program, just before the Asian Financial Crisis, initiated to Fund the erection of "European House" a building linked to several prominent European based multinational companies.

"Batara Yudha from Bagawaskita" dan "The Art of War of Sun Tzu"
Dua cerita dan dua ilmu, yang mengutarakan kebijaksanaan dalam perang dan kehidupan yang (harus) berprikemanusian.
Sebelum, saya membahas dan di izinkan menguraikan ke dua pujangga di atas. Saya ingin mengutarakan beberapa "feelings" tentant perang!
Perang = La guerre! di bahasa perancisnya, dengan beberapa peribahasa yg pernah saya pelajari seperti;
* A la guerre comme a la guerre! (peribahasa lebih Belgisist daripada Perancis, perlu di ketahui, di Belgi, kita berbicara Perancis juga, dengan derivatifnya bahasa "Wallon"). Kalimat ini lebih menyentuh akar peribahasa dari daerah Brussels dengan bahasa dialeknya Brussellaar.
* Les hommes ne peuvent pas vivre sans la guerre! (artinya: Kita tidak bisa hidup tanpa perang!???)
Ada peribahasa latinnya juga tentant perang yg selalu saya ingat: "Si vis pacem parabellum" kalau kita mau kedamaian, kita harus siap2 perang!...again another.....

A
Active Commitments - An investment that has not reached the end of its legal term.
AIM - "Redland" Alternative Investment Management Program.
B
Benchmark - A previously agreed upon point of reference or measure used to evaluate performance.
Buyout Financing - A transaction in which a business, business unit, or company is acquired from the current shareholders (the vendor). Buyout funds are those with a strategy to acquire other businesses; this may also include mezzanine debt funds that may provide (generally subordinated) debt to facilitate financing buyouts, frequently alongside a right to some of the equity upside. Buyout financing is also known as the takeover of a company's assets and operations through the purchase of at least a controlling interest in a company's stock. The transaction usually will include a new business plan and management structure with the intent of improving the company's financial performance. Also known as corporate restructuring.
C
CalPERS - The California Public Employees' Retirement System.
Capital Commitment - A Limited Partner’s obligation to provide a certain amount of capital to a private equity fund for investments.
Capital Deployment - The portion of capital committed to a fund that is drawn down over time as the General Partner selects investments that meet the fund's investment mandate.
Carried Interest - A bonus entitlement accruing to an investment fund’s management company. Carried interest (typically up to 20 percent of the profits) becomes payable once the investors have achieved repayment of their original investment in the fund, plus a defined hurdle rate.
Cash In - The total capital contributed to the fund by CalPERS for the purpose of making investments and paying for the fund’s expenses and management fees.
Cash Out - The total proceeds distributed by the fund to CalPERS, which may include both return of capital and gain distributions.
Co-Investment - Investing directly in an operating company alongside a fund.
Corporate Restructuring - See buyout financing.
D
Direct Investment - Directly investing in an operating company, rather than investing through a partnership or fund vehicle.
Draw-Down - When investors commit themselves to back a private equity fund, all the funding may not be needed at once. Therefore, remaining capital is drawn down at a later date.
Due Diligence - For private equity professionals, due diligence can apply either narrowly to the process of verifying the data presented in a business plan or sales memorandum, or broadly as completing the investigation and analytical process that precedes a commitment to invest. The purpose is to determine the attractiveness, risks, and issues regarding a transaction with a potential investment. Due diligence should enable investment professionals to realize an effective decision process and optimize the deal terms.
E
Expansion Capital - The investment in established companies looking to enter new markets or expand operations.
Exit - Liquidation of holdings by a private equity fund. Among the various methods of exiting an investment are: trade sale; sale by public offering (including IPO), write-offs, repayment of preference shares or loans, sale to another venture capitalist, or sale to a financial institution.
F
Fund - See Limited Partnership.
Fund-of-Funds - A pooled vehicle that invests in a number of other funds or partnerships.
G
General Partner - The managing partner in a private equity management company who has unlimited personal liability for the debts and obligations of the Limited Partnership and the right to participate in its management.

I
Initial Public Offering (IPO) - The sale or distribution of a company’s shares to the public for the first time. An IPO of the investee company’s shares is one of the ways in which a private equity fund can exit from an investment.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) - The dollar-weighted internal rate of return, net of management fees and carried interest generated by the CalPERS investment in the fund. This return considers the daily timing of all cash flows and CalPERS cumulative fair stated value, as of the end of the reported period.
Investment Multiple - Calculation performed by adding the remaining (reported) value and the distributions received (cash out) and subsequently dividing that amount by the total capital contributed (cash in).
Investment Philosophy - The stated investment approach or focus of a management team.
J
J-Curve Effect - The curve realized by plotting the returns generated by a private equity fund against time (from inception to termination). The common practice of paying the management fee and start-up costs out of the first draw-down does not produce an equivalent book value. As a result, a private equity fund will initially show a negative return. When the first realizations are made, the fund returns start to rise quite steeply. After about three to five years, the interim IRR will give a reasonable indication of the definitive IRR. This period is generally shorter for buyout funds than for early-stage and expansion funds.

Limited Partner - An investor in a Limited Partnership (i.e., private equity fund).

The General Partner receives a management fee and a percentage of the profits. The Limited Partners receive income, capital gains, and tax benefits. The General Partner manages the partnership using policy laid down in a Partnership Agreement. The agreement also covers terms, fees, structures, and other items agreed on between the Limited Partners and the General Partner.
M

Marketable - Easily bought or sold.
Mezzanine Debt Financing - The use of subordinated debt together with equity to finance a company just prior to an IPO; invests in the subordinated debt and/or equity of privately owned companies. Investors in subordinated instruments stand behind those with senior instruments - like bonds.
