Sorry about all the JAMA this morning but there’s a lot. And this one is particularly upsetting because the US still uses psychiatry as a weapon against women, and I suppose the only difference between a private prison and a private psychiatric hospital would be the mandatory medication. And that’s pretty terrifying.

Question  How has private equity (PE) investment among US psychiatric hospitals changed in recent years, and what is the cross-sectional association of PE with geography, staffing, and quality?
Finding  About 14% of US psychiatric hospitals were owned by PE in 2021, with two-thirds of these facilities located in the southern US. In adjusted models, PE ownership was associated with lower staffing ratios but higher performance on quality measures of restraint, 7- and 30-day follow-up visits, and 30-day all-cause readmission.
Meaning  These results demonstrate that PE ownership among US psychiatric hospitals is growing, underscoring the importance of US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services initiatives to monitor patient experience.

"Susca reveals an industry rocked less by external forces like lost ad revenue and more by ownership and management obsessed with profit and beholden to private fund interests that feel no responsibility toward journalism or the public it is meant to serve."

Might be a fun read. #PrivateEquity needs to be regulated like a fiduciary is still my position.

We have to do something about #PrivateEquity NOW

“From 2013 to 2023, private equity firms acquired more than 1,000 disability and elder care providers, according to the report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project. That’s likely an undercount because they’re generally not required to disclose acquisitions, the report said.”

Ich habe gerade aus einer Branchen-Postille etwas über unseren Lieblings-Glashersteller (#Optovision) erfahren, was uns gegenüber etwas anders kommuniziert wurde… 😡
Ich nehme an, Namen wie Grundig, Grohe, etc. sagen Euch etwas. Eventuell reiht sich Rodenstock* da bald ein.

> Medicare beneficiaries who undergo surgery in hospitals owned by private-equity investment funds are 42% more likely to die within the following 30 days than those getting the same operations in hospitals that aren’t private-equity owned.
> That’s according to new research just published in the medical journal Health Affairs, which raises yet more concerns about the way these aggressive investment funds may be letting elderly patients suffer and die in a relentless pursuit of profits.

Looks like the private equity vultures have begun circling Westfield: https://www.realcommercial.com.au/news/sparks-fly-at-westfield-owners-annual-meeting-over-share-price #ausbiz #auspol #westfield #PrivateEquity

Look, there's many legitimate reasons to be critical of Westfield.

But to claim it doesn't know how to maximise the long-term profitability of their shopping centres is laughable.

And sure, private equity over the short term might be willing to load up on more debt and strip out more assets than Westfield.

But the long-term track record of companies that have come under private equity control I'd not great.

"Shopping centre giant Scentre, owner of the local Westfield empire, has come under attack from shareholder activist David Kingston for its lacklustre performance over the last decade, with the listed company’s chairman Ilana Atlas defending its record at its annual meeting in Sydney.

"Mr Kingston, a former Rothschild banker who had targeted the company last year as he took on underperformance across the real estate sector, again questioned the company’s strategy and its inability to generate long-term value for shareholders.

"In a lively meeting, marked by spirited debate, Mr Kingston and his son Charlie, both of K Capital, took on the board over the company’s longer-term failure to lift its share price, the high valuations of its shopping centres after rivals traded some assets cheaply, and plans keep its debt in check."

Rachel Reeves looks prepared to mandate the share of pension assets invested in private equity, if pension trustees do not voluntarily raise the level.

This is presented as getting better returns for pensioners, but looks more like an intervention that will reduce pension trustees 'freedom' to invest in the interests of their members.

I may have my suspicions about pension trustees' motivations but I have even more about Reeves' & who's interests she serves.
