Will Demographics Change Start-up Investment? By Duncan Cameron, Sat Dec 10th
There is a growing understanding that as baby-boomers retire,western equity markets will be under pressure as this marketsegment draws on their lifetime savings (Source: McKinsey April2005). So what will this mean to start-ups that arelooking for new capital? Actually it is quite good news.
First off, as most US, Japanese and European investors are mostheavily into listed stocks and bonds, these will be the onesmost under pressure. One trend that is expected to offset thiswithdrawal of funds is the increase in savings from the Chineseand Indian middle classes. Will these new investors take theplace of the retiring ones? Time will only tell, but thisinstability should cause institutional investors to think twiceabout staying in most common equities.
Secondly, those remaining investors, faced with an uncertain (atbest) market in traditional vehicles, will look for high growthopportunities to offset poor performance by established equitiesand debt. Obviously emerging economies will be high on the list,but foreign exposure will come into play as
investors look toget local high growth to reduce the exchange issues. Investmentsin start-ups are net-new, and don’t have the down side ofinvestor withdrawals. Furthermore, with possible high rewards,against a sea of uncertainty with limited growth, newinvestments may look positively glowing.
Finally, with this net increase of investment from emergingnations, the industrial nation’s currencies will gain in value,further emphasising the need to invest within industrial nationsrather than face potential currency losses on foreign highgrowth opportunities.
So, all in all, the next few years should be very good for start-ups that arelooking for capital.
