Prof. Tereza Tykvová

Tereza Tykvová holds the Chair of Private Markets and Alternative Investments at the University of St.Gallen. She is a regular speaker at leading conferences and has published extensively in the top academic journals in her areas of research expertise.

Professor Tykvová studies private equity markets and contributes to a better understanding of the value effects that buyouts and venture capital transactions generate. She focuses on the effects that arise for investors and target companies and considers the implications of these transactions for other stakeholders. In a recent study, for example, she examines the competition and information effects of leveraged buyout transactions on target companies' peers. Data shows that both effects are associated with a decrease in peer companies' values. In further work, she demonstrates that customers perceive private equity negatively and reveals that some customers vote with their feet during changes in ownership.
