Abstract

Using a unique, hand-collected sample of 146 firms in the Caribbean region, this paper explores the impact of private equity (PE) ownership on the external financing costs of listed firms in Caribbean offshore economies. Our analysis is based on the ownership competency theory of Foss, Klein, Lien, Zellweger & Zenger (2021) and shows PE ownership increases these costs, as reflected in quoted bid-ask spreads. This relationship is negatively moderated by both the firm having a related party located in an offshore jurisdiction and the adoption of shareholder value governance. Our analysis sheds light on PE financing’s impact in stimulating entrepreneurial regeneration of small island economies and facilitating further broader investment, as well as maturity and exit in PE investment cycles.
