Taiwanese banks, once seen as a gateway into China, look more like a trap for private-equity firms including Carlyle Group LP (CG) as the mainland market proves elusive and competition at home curbs profits for small lenders.
Cosmos Bank Taiwan (2837), controlled by a buyout firm owned by Steven A. Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors LLC, has lost 68 percent from the end of 2007, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Taipei-based Ta Chong Bank Ltd. (2847), backed by Carlyle, declined 11 percent, while EnTie Commercial Bank, whose owners include Longreach Group Ltd., fell 18 percent in that period.

Forstmann Little & Co. attracted first-round bids for the talent agency IMG Worldwide Inc. from Silver Lake Management LLC, TPG Capital, CVC Capital Partners Ltd. and KKR & Co., people familiar with the matter said.
 
Initial, nonbinding expressions of interest were due Sept. 30 and give potential buyers access to financial data on the company, which could fetch more than $2 billion, said the people, who asked not to be named because the talks are private.
The auction pits two Hollywood talent-management companies and their private-equity investors against each other. Silver Lake is teaming up with William Morris Endeavor Entertainment LLC, while TPG is joining with Creative Artists Agency, said the people. CVC Capital, KKR and other private equity firms have also bid, one person said.

國際私募基金來台規定大鬆綁。行政院近期正推動修法，未來凡是國際私募基金來台併購案，都將列為重大投資案，不僅會事先說明遊戲規則，也將力爭三個月內完成准駁。此舉將有助爭取國際私募基金重返台灣。
行政院近期雙管齊下，爭取優質、大咖的國際私募基金來台投資。興利策略是配合僑外投資條例修正，提升審議效率與透明度；除弊策略是藉由企業併購法大翻修，納入「國巨條款」，明定公開發行股票公司在併購前，都應設置特別委員會，落實公司治理及投資人保障。

經濟部因而修改僑外投資條例，立法院已經完成初審，待未來三讀後，經濟部即可據此實施審查新制。未來國際私募基金來台併購都將視為重大投資案，必須交由跨部會專案小組審查通過後，才送投審會委員會議通過；小組審查期間，跨部會須一次陳述所需補件內容與審議規則，同時在二至三個月內完成准駁。知情官員表示，過去經濟部投審會在受理國際私募基金併購案時，各部會常反覆提出不同的補件要求，美其名是慎重，卻讓業者疲於奔命，「有些併購案一審就是一年多，補件後也不一定會過關，令不少國際私募基金抱怨審查程序不透明。」
