The Return on Private Placement in Small Public EquityCécile CarpentierLaval University; Center for Interuniversity Research and Analysis on Organization (CIRANO); University of Lille II - European Center for Corporate Control Studies Jean-Francois L'HerCanada Pension Plan Investment Board; Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec (CDPQ) Jean-Marc SuretLaval University; Center for Interuniversity Research and Analysis on Organization (CIRANO); European Center for Corporate Control Studies May 4, 2011 Abstract: Private placements provided by institutional or individual accredited investors are becoming an important financing tool for small public firms worldwide. However, private placement issuers offer, on average, poor returns. We explain this puzzle using 2,987 traditional private placements by Canadian small public firms over a decade. We observe significant long-run post-issue underperformance using a classic factor pricing model. This underperformance is partially erased when the returns are adjusted to consider the high level of investment by the issuers, and to include the discount granted to private investors. We split the sample by the glamour/value dimension and by the firms’ investment activity. Only glamour firms with high investment activity underperform in the long run. Private investors obtain positive returns on placements in value and high investment firms. However, they overestimate investment projects of glamour firms.
