Syndication is the creation of the physical asset along with its financial securities and running a process related to the achievement of a target valuation and subsequent cash exit for the syndicator. There is a paradigm shift from one-dimensional entrepreneurship to multi-dimensional investment syndication which is consistent with portfolio theory in modern finance. Investment Syndication and the Syndication Enterprise acknowledges that the more syndications the syndicator pursues, the lower their risk becomes with the target of approximately 30 - 40 billion-dollar NPV syndications (modern venture capital finance states that 2 out of 10 of the venture capitalist investments will actually become a success and thus increasing the number of syndications to the target number of securities in the efficient portfolio consistent with Harry Markowitz's work will allow for the optimal portfolio size (ie 30). We call this the Wise Portfolio . Investment Syndication bridges the gap between the two competing schools in finance, Inefficient Markets & Efficient Markets. What this means is that the syndicator can already know that their syndications, though early on in the process have together created a portfolio with a tangible cash value of $1,000,000,000 in today's dollars which can be securitized and exited from. Thus if you have a Wise Portfolio you are in actuality already a billionaire in today's dollars but it has simply not been priced in yet in the public marketplace according to Fama and French's work on Efficient markets). This is at the core of the Chartered Investor (CI ) Body of Knowledge. Anyone with an MBA at an Investment Bank or Private Equity shop should not be leaving to pursue just any startup, but rather should be strategic and pursue Investment Syndication . You can obtain the CI designation at www.CharteredInvestor.org. Billionaire University has licensed the CI Institute BOK and is providing degrees consistent with the CI BOK. Investment syndication does not pay retail for investments or commodities. The syndicator syndicates the investments instead and captures the exponential wealth increase that comes along with multiple expansion regarding the trading/market multiples regarding the syndication as it reaches a liquidity event in a private equity secondary market exit."
