同时。
风险投资对于那些早期起步的、没有稳定利润回报的公司来说，这是一股强大的资金注入。
首先，由于信息的不对称，前期调查必须深入那些小的、刚起步的的公司进行，也许他会导致事与愿违或道德败坏等问题。
早期良好的表现可以吸引更多的投资，而原始资本可以使公司更好的起步。
但是，最重要的结果是更多的投资者向机构投资，事实上随着新鲜资金的流入的同时伴随着资金的增值，同时投资者对公司进行监控，提供专业的技术和最基本的帮助。
也为企业赢得更好的声誉。
因此，风险投资对小型金融企业的作用是非常巨大的，文章对此进行了深入的研究。
关键字：风险投资小型企业企业关系AbstractThe Role of Venture Capital in FinancingVenture capital is an important alternative for companies that have difficulties accessing more traditional financing sources and it is a strong financial injection for earlystage companies that do not have evidence for persistent profitability yet. Firstly, deep prescreening process should be performed before investing in small, start-up business because of the information asymmetries, which in turn are the main cause for adverse selection and moral hazard problems. Well performed initial scan ensures good investment. Seed capital provided than enables the firm’s set off.But what is more important is the conclusion that there is much more than just capital that flows from the investors to the organizations in which they invest. Indeed, fresh capital inflow is accompanied with the process of value-adding which provides the company with monitoring, skills, expertise, help and, basically, reputation for attracting further finance. Consequently, the role of the venture capital in financing small business is tremendous. The paper sheds light on these issues.Keywords：Venture Capital, Small Business, Entrepreneurship, Financing1.外文文献译文1.1导论在过去的几十年里，对小型公司的投资得到了发展。
企业家的投资决策对国民经济的发展起了很重要的影响作用，因此，中小企业的融资问题不断的吸引着学术界的关注。
大部分文献资料显示企业关系对经济的发展和生产力的发展起了基础性作用（OECD，2004），例如它曾引发了小型企业的创新，进而为国家经济竞争了的增强增添了巨大的筹码（Pandey et al, 2003）,但是在另一方面，由于公司起步时的高风险和信息不对称，小型企业显得不堪一击（Berger and Udell, 2002），同时小型企业面临艰难的资金问题——投资者拒绝“供给资金”给刚起步的企业(Gans and Stern, 2003)。
换句话说，当你和你的家人及朋友的资金枯竭，车子被买了，房子作了抵押，那么你从哪里获得资金是你变得资金充足呢？(Reynolds, 2000, p.52)这是风险投资在小型金融企业变得重要的重点，更进一步说，经济学家认为风险投资给那些规模小、刚起步、有创新精神的企业提供了支持，尤其是高科技产业的投资公司。
(Bottazzi and Rin, 2002)因此，风险投资促进了企业观念的成长和发展。
这篇论文旨在评论风险投资对实体企业的贡献，重点是对小型金融企业的评价。
论文第一部分重点介绍风险投资在小型金融企业的基础作用；第二部分介绍风险投资带来的一揽子服务；第三部分，风险投资对公司专业化的主要贡献；最后一部分，怎样吸引风险投资。
1.2为什么刚起步的小型企业选择风险投资？风险投资对其的作用虽然集体讨论的过程可以真正的不断提高生产力，但是企业家们必须考虑资金问题。
事实上，一个人有开小公司的想法是很好的，但是实施这个想法会因为需要“养料”而给他带来很多麻烦。
因此，像这样的贫穷企业家必须依赖外来的资金来开办企业(Lulfesmann, 2000)。
实际上，年轻的、尤其是有创新精神、发展较快的企业很难从传统渠道获得资金(Gompers and Lerner, 1999; cited in Giudici and Paleari, 2000)。
最终导致那些刚起步的企业由于规模太小而不能得到社会贷款。
然而，虽然由于它们不成熟、不能得到银行贷款、它们有着很大的不确定性（也就是风险）、伴随着信息不对称，但是这并不意味着大部分创新观点会消失，一个很好的机会出现了，那就是风险投资。
对于那些难以从传统渠道获得资金的企业来说，风险投资是一条很好的获得资金来源的渠道。
风险投资为那些刚起步、没有能力证明会有稳定回报的公司注入了强大的资金。
换句话来说，风险投资引发了小企业的快速成长并保持了这种良好的状态，进而创造了很大的利润，这也是他的基本作用：他解除了刚起步小企业俄财政危机，换句话说，他是小企业的“源资金”，他使好的企业计划得以实现。
无论怎样，一方面风险投资与高风险相联系，那意味着良好的回报也许会出现在几年后或者没有。
不仅如此，风险投资家可能开始一种与企业家相悖的商业策略，前一种情况可能会使企业家离开公司，这些方面以后再做讨论。
但是有一点是确定的，一旦方案被通过，风险投资资金注入公司并使他起步，这是方案成为现实的时刻。
并且风险投资不仅带来了资金，也带来了更多的好处，有专家指出“早期的资本注入，使资金得到了延伸”，可以说，风险投资家是企业的监督，因为从现在起，公司的命运变成了他的关注点，有了这个想法，结果就是有超过投资者所想的回报，同时也提升了资金带给公司的效益。
当风险资金进入到小型企业时各种讨论就开始了，我们将在以后的章节中讨论。
1.3为什么将资金投资在也有发展前途的企业？——风险投资家的想法风险投资家会将资金投资在有发展前途的产业，这是别广泛的认同并证明了的。
在起初的时候，他们对此是抱着怀疑的态度。
很肯定的回答说“不”的要比说“是的”的人多(Mason and Rogers, 1997; cited in Mason and Harrison, 2004)。
并且风险投资家会做很多潜力调查，例如商业信息、市场渠道、管理队伍或企业家情况(Berger and Udel, 1998; cited in Baeyens and Manigart, 2003)，这一切都是为了减少早期的信息不对称和企业家潜在的问题。
换句话说，在最终的签合同之前，风险投资家会花很多时间和精力去评估和观察机会，诸如市场的大小、营销策略、顾客的需求等(Kaplan and Strömberg, 2001b)。
这样就会避免投资无保证，继而资金转向其他的投资项目(Berger and Udell, 2002, p.32)。
经过这样的早期调查，投资者相信他的钱不会“蒸发”，并会给他带来长期的效益。
早期的调查是签订有效合同的基础，这能保证投资的安全和会有投资收益。
这样，风险投资家投入资本，企业ongoing资金创造价值。
实际上，风险投资家有双重作用：认真的筛选有发展前景的企业或项目并监督它(Kaplan and Strömberg, 2001a; cited in Hellmann and Puri, 2002a)；另一个功能是伴随着融资过程创造新的价值。
1.4风险投资——“多种服务”和推动创新尽管风险投资的主要要作用是供给规模小的、具有创新的、快速成长的企业。
许多文章说(Giudici and Paleari, 2000; Kortum and Lerner, 2000; Bottazzi and Rin, 2002; Hellmann and Puri, 2002a; Sætre, 2003; Wilson, 2005)，风险投资家带给企业的服务同带给企业的资金和企业家同等重要。
在他们的研究里，资金注入公司风险投资家会以各种不同的方式来帮助企业。
许多的文献认为风险投资家的资金为企业带来了价值，实际上在上面讨论的早期调查的目的是让风险投资家确定自己为企业提供了能给企业带来价值(Reynolds, 2000)的服务。
风险投资家的任务不仅仅是得到回报，还包括为企业提供服务和帮助，因为回报是伴随着企业的成长而来的，只有让企业快速发展回报才会更大(Pandey et al, 2003)。
另一种说法，与企业家一起奋战比回报更为重要。
更广泛的说，提拔一个公司意味着风险投资家会给予企业更多的关注，例如给企业家提供更多的服务、帮助和指导(Lerner, 1995)，实际上，风险投资家为企业提供一系列的服务，其目的都是为了自己投入资金的价值和回报。
风险投资家的另外一个重要作用是给企业家提供专业建议。
投资者是企业家的向导，因为投资给刚起步的企业，意味着他对这个行业有丰富的人事，因此他可以设计策略，雇佣好的执行者，提高与供应者和消费者(Bottazzi and Rin, 2002; Hellmann and Puri, 2002a)的销售网络质量，这些专业知识建立起了企业前进的基础(2004)：让企业成功或降低成本(p.111)。

投资风险 英文作文
投资风险英文作文Title: Understanding Investment Risks。
Investing is an essential aspect of financial planning for many individuals and organizations. While the potential for financial gain is enticing, it's crucial to acknowledge and manage the associated risks. In this essay, we'll explore various types of investment risks and strategiesfor mitigating them.1. Market Risk: Market risk, also known as systematic risk, refers to the possibility of investments losing value due to broad market factors such as economic downturns, political instability, or changes in interest rates. This risk affects all investments to some degree and cannot be diversified away completely. However, diversification across asset classes, industries, and geographical regions can help mitigate market risk by spreading investments across different areas that may respond differently to market changes.2. Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, particularly relevant for fixed-income investments such as bonds. When interest rates rise, bond prices typically fall, and vice versa. To manage interest rate risk, investors can consider diversifyingtheir bond holdings across different maturities orinvesting in bond funds with varying durations.3. Credit Risk: Credit risk, also known as default risk, is the possibility that a borrower will fail to repay aloan or debt obligation. This risk is prevalent incorporate bonds, municipal bonds, and loans to individualsor businesses. Conducting thorough credit analysis and investing in bonds with higher credit ratings can help mitigate credit risk. Additionally, diversifying bond holdings across issuers and industries can further reduce exposure to individual default events.4. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk refers to thedifficulty of buying or selling an investment without causing a significant impact on its price. Investments inassets with low trading volumes or limited market participants are particularly susceptible to liquidity risk. To mitigate this risk, investors should carefully consider the liquidity of an investment before purchasing it and avoid placing large portions of their portfolio in illiquid assets.5. Inflation Risk: Inflation risk, also known as purchasing power risk, is the possibility that the real value of an investment will decline due to rising inflation eroding the purchasing power of future cash flows. Investments with fixed returns, such as bonds and cash equivalents, are especially vulnerable to inflation risk.To hedge against inflation, investors can allocate aportion of their portfolio to inflation-protectedsecurities such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), real estate, and commodities.6. Currency Risk: Currency risk arises fromfluctuations in exchange rates, impacting the value of investments denominated in foreign currencies. When the investor's base currency strengthens against the foreigncurrency, returns may be reduced upon conversion. Hedging strategies such as using currency futures or options can help mitigate currency risk for international investments.7. Political and Regulatory Risk: Political instability, changes in government policies, and regulatory developments can significantly impact investment returns, especially in emerging markets or regulated industries. Conducting thorough research on the political and regulatory environment of a country or industry before investing can help mitigate political and regulatory risk. Additionally, diversifying across countries and sectors can reduce exposure to individual geopolitical events.In conclusion, understanding and managing investment risks are essential for building a resilient andsustainable investment portfolio. By diversifying across asset classes, conducting thorough research, and implementing risk mitigation strategies, investors can navigate the complexities of the financial markets more effectively and achieve their long-term financial goals.。
美国风险投资示范合同中英文
美国风险投资示范合同中英文In the world of venture capital, contracts are the backbone of every investment deal. They outline the terms, conditions, and expectations for both parties involved.The United States is renowned for its innovative approach to venture capital agreements, often setting the standard for other countries to follow. These contracts are meticulously crafted to protect the interests of investors and startups alike.A well-structured venture capital contract in the U.S. typically includes provisions for equity stakes, exit strategies, and the rights of the investors. It ensures a clear understanding of the financial commitment and the potential returns.One of the key components of a U.S. venture capital contract is the valuation of the startup. It's a critical negotiation point that determines the amount of equity the investor will receive in exchange for their capital.Another essential aspect is the liquidation preference, which dictates the order in which assets are distributed in the event of a liquidation. This clause is crucial for investors to recoup their investment first before other stakeholders.The role of the board of directors is also defined within these contracts, highlighting the investor's influence on the strategic direction of the company. This is often a point of contention but is vital for the governance of the startup.In addition to financial terms, U.S. venture capital contracts often address intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and the obligations of the founders to the company. This comprehensive approach helps mitigate risks and fosters a collaborative environment.The exit strategy is a critical part of the contract, detailing how the investment will be realized. This could be through an IPO, acquisition, or a secondary sale of shares.Lastly, a U.S. venture capital contract is not just a legal document but a roadmap for the partnership. It sets the stage for a successful collaboration between investors and entrepreneurs, guiding them through the journey of innovation and growth.。

投资风险 英文作文
投资风险英文作文英文：Investment risk is a topic that I am very familiar with, as I have been investing in stocks and other financial products for many years. In my experience, there areseveral types of investment risks that investors should be aware of.Firstly, there is market risk, which refers to the possibility that the overall market will decline and cause the value of your investments to decrease. This type ofrisk cannot be eliminated, but it can be mitigated by diversifying your portfolio across different industries and asset classes.Secondly, there is company-specific risk, which is the risk that a particular company you have invested in will perform poorly due to factors such as management issues, competition, or a decline in demand for their products.This risk can be reduced by conducting thorough research before investing in a company and regularly monitoring its performance.Thirdly, there is liquidity risk, which refers to the risk that you may not be able to sell your investments when you want to due to a lack of buyers or a decline in market conditions. This risk can be minimized by investing in assets that are more liquid, such as stocks and bonds, and avoiding illiquid assets like real estate or private equity.Lastly, there is inflation risk, which is the risk that the value of your investments will decrease over time dueto inflation. This risk can be mitigated by investing in assets that have historically outpaced inflation, such as stocks and real estate.In summary, investment risk cannot be eliminated entirely, but it can be managed through diversification, research, and careful monitoring. By understanding and managing these risks, investors can make informed decisions and achieve their financial goals.中文：作为一名多年来一直在股票和其他金融产品上投资的人，我对投资风险非常熟悉。

7.21经济学人外刊精读| 风险投资经济学人原文Venture capitalThe reckoningThe startup bust is bad, but not as bad as the dotcom fiasco【1】The venture-capital bull run of the past two decades transformed what was once a cottage industry in Silicon Valley into a huge machine for buildingglobally dominant companies. Over $600bn of venture fundswere invested worldwide last year, nearly ten times the level a decadeago. venture capital (VC) spread into new sectors, drew in new participants and became more global. valuations rocketed as a sense took hold that the good times would never end.【2】Now the war in Ukraine, China’s purging of its tech industry and rising interest rates mean capitalism’s moon-shot machine is earthbound. Public markets were the first to be hit. The NASDAQ index, which is weighted towards technology companies, has fallen by nearly 30% so far this year in a gruesome reckoning.The amount of capital raised through initial public offerings so far in 2022 is down by about 50% globally and by more than 70% in America compared with the same period last year【3】The public-market bloodbath is inevitably hurting the VC world. Losses in end-investors’ public portfolios put pressure on their private ones. pension funds and endowments that committed large amo unts of “dry powder” to private markets are trying to preserve cash by asking VCs to slow their pace of investing. Because there are more crossover funds, such as Tiger Global Management, which invest in several corners of the capital markets, the connection between publicand private valuations has strengthened. Global investments made by VC funds in startups in May were worth $39bn, about 30% less than the monthly average for 2021. Already, 68% of VC funds are reporting markdowns of valuations in their portfolios.【4】Startups that rely on VC cash are, unsurprisingly, feeling the pain. Fledgling firms with little cash saved, especially in competitive sectors such as food delivery, will fare worst. And after a long boom, expect some dubious behaviour tobe revealed. One concern is how interlinked tech firms might be.Some apparently profitable startups are earning money by providing services, from digital marketing to cloud computing, to other startups that are losing money and that in turn rely on endless blank cheques from their VC sponsors.【5】Pessimists note that VC slumps take years to bottom out. Downturns causedby inflation and an oil shock meant the amount of money flowing into VCfunds fell by 94% between 1969 and 1975. After the peak of the dotcom bubble, the rateat which VC funds deployed capital fell for more than two years.【6】Yet despite all this, the correction will not be as bad as the crash of 2000-01. For one thing, plenty of startups have built up war chests and so have healthybalance-sheets. Assuming a typical cash-burn rate, all but three of the 70-odd biggest software startups have raised enough funds to last until 2025.【7】The VC industry is more institutionalised, too. Self-sustaining VC networks from Europe to Asia are less dependent on flighty American capital and have enduring links to local financial firms and entrepreneurs. End-investors suchas pension funds and endowments have experienced enough oftech’s transformative effect on the economy to know not to run away.【8】Most important, the opportunity for innovation remains vast.The potential market for technology products has expanded hugely, beyond the bastions of business and consumer computing, to affect all parts of the business world, from biotech to supply-chain monitoring. What emerges from the chaos will be a leaner and more efficient industry—and one that will remain a powerful force.长难句1）原文：The amount of capital raised through initial public offerings so far in 2022is down by about 50% globally and by more than 70% in America compared with the same period last year. 2）分析：●∙红色部分是主句，是主系表结构，其中主语是the amount of capital，系动词是is，表语是down，后面by引导的介词短语表示跌落的程度，两个by引导的介词短语是并列结构。
外文翻译--风险投资(适用于毕业论文外文翻译+中英文对照)
Venture capitalVenture CapitalVenture Capital is the process by which investors fund early stage, more risk oriented business endeavors. A venture capital funding arrangement will typically entail relinquishing some level of ownership and control of the business. Offsetting the high risk the investor takes is the promise of high return on the investment. The investment is usually in the form of stock or an instrument which can be converted into stock at some future date. As the business matures, an initial public offering may take place, or the business merged or sold, or other sources of capital found. Any of these would occur with the intention of buying out the venture capitalists. Venture capitalists typically expect a 20-50% annual return on their investment at the time they are brought out. Venture capitalists typically invest in high growth companies with the potential to generate revenues of $20MM in any one company, but typical investments range from between $500,000 and $5MM. Management experience is a major consideration in evaluating financing prospects.History of private equity and venture capitalWith few exceptions, private equity in the first half of the 20th century was the domain of wealthy individuals and families. The Vanderbilt’s, Whitneys, Rockefellers and Warburgs were notable investors in private companies in the first half of the century. In 1938, Laurance S. Rockefeller helped finance the creation of both Eastern Air Lines and Douglas Aircraft and the Rockefeller family had vast holdings in a variety of companies.Early venture capitalOne of the first steps toward a professionally-managed venture capital industry was the passage of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. The 1958 Act officially allowedthe U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to license private "Small Business Investment Companies" (SBICs) to help the financing and management of the small entrepreneurial businesses in the United States.During the 1960s and 1970s, venture capital firms focused their investment activity primarily on starting and expanding companies. As a result, venture capital came to be almost synonymous with technology finance.Stage of venture capital(1)Initial/SeedA relatively small amount of capital provided to an investor or entrepreneur, usually to prove a concept. It may involve product development, but rarely involves initial marketing.(2)First StageFinancing provided to companies that have expended their initial capital and require funds, often to initiate commercial manufacturing and sales.(3)Second StageFunds provided for the major growth of a company whose sales volume is increasing and that is beginning to break even or turn profitable. These funds are typically for plant expansion, marketing and working capital development of an improved product.(4)Third StageFunds provided for the major growth of a company whose sales volume is increasing and that is beginning to break even or turn profitable. These funds are typically for plant expansion, marketing and working capital development of an improved product.(5)Follow-on/Later StageA subsequent investment made by an investor who has made a previous investment in the company -- generally a later stage investment in comparison to the initial investment.Structure of the fundsMost venture capital funds have a fixed life of 10 years, with the possibility of a few years of extensions to allow for private companies still seeking liquidity. The investing cycle for most funds is generally three to five years, after which the focus is managing and making follow-on investments in an existing portfolio. This model was pioneered bysuccessful funds in Silicon Valley through the 1980s to invest in technological trends broadly but only during their period of ascendance, and to cut exposure to management and marketing risks of any individual firm or its product.In such a fund, the investors have a fixed commitment to the fund that is initially unfunded and subsequently "called down" by the venture capital fund over time as the fund makes its investments.It can take anywhere from a month or so to several years for venture capitalists to raise money from limited partners for their fund. At the time when all of the money has been raised, the fund is said to be closed and the 10 year lifetime begins. Some funds have partial closes when one half (or some other amount) of the fund has been raised. "Vintage year" generally refers to the year in which the fund was closed and may serve as a means to stratify VC funds for comparison. This free database of venture capital funds shows the difference between a venture capital fund management company and the venture capital funds managed by them.Geographical differences(V.C) Venture capital, as an industry, originated in the United States and American firms have traditionally been the largest participants in venture deals and the bulk of venture capital has been deployed in American companies. However, increasingly, non-US venture investment is growing and the number and size of non-US venture capitalists have been expanding.Venture capital has been used as a tool for economic development in a variety of developing regions. In many of these regions, with less developed financial sectors, venture capital plays a role in facilitating access to finance for small and medium enterprises (SMES), which in most cases would not qualify for receiving bank loans.In the year of 2008, while the Venture Capital fundings are still majorly dominated by U.S. (USD 28.8 B invested in 2008), compared to International fund investments (USD 13.4 B invested in everywhere else), there have been an average 5% growth in the Venture capital deals outside of the U.S- mainly in China, Europe and Israel. Geographical differences can be significant. For instance, in the U.K., 4% of British investment goes to venture capital, compared to about 33% in the U.S.(1)United StatesVenture capitalists invested some $6.6 billion in 797 deals in U.S. during the thirdquarter of 2006, according to the Money Tree Report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association based on data by Thomson Financial.A National Venture Capital Association survey found that a majority of venture capitalists predicted that venture investments in the U.S. would have leveled between $20–29 billion in 2007.(2)CanadaCanadian technology companies have attracted interest from the global venture capital community as a result, in part, of generous tax incentive through the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) investment tax credit program. The basic incentive available to any Canadian corporation performing R&D is a non-refundable tax credit that is equal to 20% of "qualifying" R&D expenditures. An enhanced 35% refundable tax credit of available to certain (i.e. small) Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCS). Because the CCPC rules require a minimum of 50% Canadian ownership in the company performing R&D, foreign investors who would like to benefit from the larger 35% tax credit must accept minority position in the company - which might not be desirable. The SR&ED program does not restrict the export of any technology or intellectual property that may have been developed with the benefit of SR&ED tax incentives.Canada also has a fairly unique form of venture capital generation in its Labour Sponsored Venture Capital Corporations (LSVCC). These funds, also known as Retail Venture Capital or Labor Sponsored Investment Funds (LSIF), are generally sponsored by labor unions and offer tax breaks from government to encourage retail investors to purchase the funds. Generally, these Retail Venture Capital funds only invest in companies where the majority of employees are in Canada. However, innovative structures have been developed to permit LSVCCS to direct in Canadian subsidiaries of corporations incorporated in jurisdictions outside of Canada.(3)EuropeEurope has a large and growing number of active venture firms. Capital raised in the region in 2005, including buy-out funds, exceeded €60bn, of which €12.6bn was specifically for venture investment. The European Venture Capital Association includes a list of active firms and other statistics. In 2006 the top three countries receiving the most venture capital investments were the United Kingdom, France, and Germany according to data gathered by Library House.European venture capital investment in the second quarter of 2007 rose 5% to 1.14 billion Euros from the first quarter. However, due to bigger sized deals in early stage investments, the number of deals was down 20% to 213. The second quarter venture capital investment results were significant in terms of early-round investment, where as much as 600 million Euros were invested in 126 early round deals. Private equity in Italy was 4.2 billion Euros in 2007.(4)China(a)Analysis by Deal Number & Investment AmountChina’s venture capital market maintained a stable development in Q3 2008, witnessing an increase in deal number and investment amount quarter on quarter while a decrement is observed year on year. The total number of deals closed was 86 increasing by 4.9% quarter on quarter but decreasing by 21.1% year on year. Total investment amount stood at US$1.026 Billion, increasing by 51.8% quarter on quarter while decreasing by 6.8% year on year. Amid global capital market turmoil, some financial service giants had filed for bankruptcy. Meanwhile, China’s domestic economy had to be regulated. Under such circumstances, investment firms are becoming more prudent about their investments.(b).Analysis by Single Investment AmountThe average deal size in China’s VC market increased, reaching US$11.94 Million, and representing a 44.7% increase month on month and an 18.1% increase year on year.Out of the 86 deals disclosed, 23 deals were worth between US$5 Million and US$10 Million was 23, accounting for 26.7%. 9 deals were closed with investment between US$10-20 Million, representing 10.5%. The single investment amount of another 9 deals was between US$30 Million and US$50 Million, representing another 10.5%. 8 deals experienced single investment amount of US$20-30 Million, making up 9.3% Investors will focus mainly on early stage projects as pre-IPO projects were impacted by the sluggish secondary market. China Venture forecasts average deal size would be more likely to decrease in the future.(c).Investment Hotspot86 deals were secured in 15 sectors in Q3 2008. Internet, IT Services, Medical and Healthcare sectors formed the key investment sectors.20 Internet deals secured US$267 Million, representing a 4.8% decrease in deal number while a 10.5% increase in investment amount is observed quarter on quarter. The IT Services sector had a positive month with US$98.97 Million piping into 8 deals,representing a 34.5% increase in investment amount.Government plays a role in venture capitalThe guiding role of the government in financing influences the utility of the venture capital supplier, thus brings about changes in the capital supply in venture investment market. Therefore, the law of such economic influences can be studied by establishing a micro-economic analytical model which includes the guiding activities of the government in financing. Usually, the guiding activities of the government in financing can be presented as a specific financial product in financial economics, which can be designed and priced using the theories and methods in financial engineering, thus the feasibility and the scientific of the guiding role of the government in venture capital finance can be improved.

It discusses the impact of US federal state laws and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations to the venture capital markets, arguing if the rules and regulatories are burdensome to entrepreneurs and new-growth businesses. The impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the future Investment Act on venture capital funds and entrepreneurial companies going public are also discussed. The paper proposes the model of venture capital financing describing the process from fund raising to investment exits, the linkages of the venture capital market to the financial/capital markets and the related capital market laws. The policy implications on SEC regulations essential to the development of venture capital industry are suggested.Keywords: capital market；Securities；entrepreneurship; regulated industries;law1European Journal of Operational ResearchVolume 192, Issue 1, 1 January 2009, Pages 293-3011.1. The relation of venture capital funding and the capital marketVenture capital (VC) is a high-risk, potentially high-return investment to support business creation and growth. It is a source of funds that typically finance new and rapidly growing companies through equity participation (Bygrave and Timmons, 1992W.D. Bygrave and J.A. Timmons, Venture Capital at the Crossroads, Harvard Business School Press, Boston, MA (1992).[Bygrave and Timmons, 1992] and [Gompers and Lerner, 2001]). In other words, VC is pre-IPO equity capital provided by professional investors. The concept of modern venture capital is defined by Megginson (2002) as a professionally managed pool of money raised for the purpose of making equity investments in growing private companies with a well defined exit strategy. Venture capital markets are of particular interest to policy makers since this type of financing is used to fund Hi-Tech companies with the high growth potential in order to draw investments into the local economy.Given that innovations often follow a life cycle, Fig. 1 shows the funding requirement linked to the stages of the innovation process in the life cycle. At the seed, start-up and early stages, the entrepreneurial firms are generally funded by families and venture capitalists. Some venture capitalists focus on later-stage investment to help the companies grow to a critical mass to attract public financing through a stock offering. Through these investments, investors generally acquire an equity and/or security that can be convertible into equity in the target company.One of the key factors cited in the success of venture capital markets in the US has been the presence of a viable exit method (Black and Gilson, 1998). The development of capital markets e.g. NASDAQ, Regional Stock Markets, New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange (AMEX) plays an important role in the success of venture capital markets in the US, given that initial public offerings (IPOs) offer a quick exit for the investor. The study of factors determining the growth and development of venture capital markets carried out by Jeng and Wells (2000), based on statistics from 21 countries, concludes that the growth of venture capital markets is influenced by size and liquidity of a nation’s stock markets. In the venture capital industry, bringing a company public is a signal of success for the venture capital fund backing the issuing company ([Gompers, 1998], [Gompers and Lerner, 1998], [Gompers and Lerner, 1999], [Gompers and Lerner, 2001], [Black and Gilson, 1998], [Jeng and Wells, 2000], [Lerner, 1999], [Lerner, 2002], [Barnes et al., 2003] and [Hellmann, 2000]).Initial public offerings (IPOs) are seen by investors as the best exit mechanism to obtain a return. According to the conventional financial theory, the return required by a rational investor is influenced by the risk of the investment project and the return on less risky investment alternatives. IPO seems to be the most attractive option to liquidate an investment as valuations can be highest in a liquid stock market. However, the market for venture capital investments is far from perfect market ([Brealey and Myers, 1996], [Wright and Robbie, 1998] and [Black and Gilson, 1998]). Most venture capitalists and investors are risk averse. They see that the major risk is the risk of not getting their money back from an investment and therefore prefer to invest in profitable businesses. Fig. 2shows the two sets of indifference curves slope upward to reflect the σ–E(r) preferences of the two different risk averse venture capitalists. Underlying portfolio theory, all combinations of risk, σ, and return, E(r), along an indiff erence curve gives the venture capitalists the same level of satisfaction. Since new entrepreneurial companies are risky prospects, the venture capitalists will demand higher rates of return (risk premium) for making investments ([Makens, 2004] and [Bodie et al., 2005]). However, the high yield requirements are frequently incompatible with the growth potential of the preponderance of small issuers.Fig. 2. Analysis of risk and return for the venture capitalists.The venture capital firms generally manage several pools of funds and invest in a broad range of industries. The means to make a profitable exit is to register with SEC so that the venture capitalists can sell all their holding shares in the capital market. For the VC-backed companies going public, they have to comply with the federal laws and the laws of the state in which the securities are to be offered and sold.1.2. Laws and regulations concerning the venture capital fundThe venture capital markets are influenced by a country’s legal and institutional structure. Legal and regulatory variables affect VC investment in terms of supply and demand of venture capital finance ([Cumming et al., 2005], [Kanniainen and Keuschnigg, 2003a], [Kanniainen and Keuschnigg, 2003b], [Keuschnigg, 2002], [Keuschnigg, 2003], [Keuschnigg and Nielsen, 2001], [Keuschnigg and Nielsen, 2003], [Keuschnigg and Nielsen, 2004] and [Armour, 2003]). The role of the US Government in the development of venture capital can be seen, for example, in the cases of the Small Business Investment Corporations (SBICs) legislation in 1958 to encourage investment in small businesses; the Revenue Act of 1978 and the 1981 Economic Recovery Tax Act to reduce the capital gains tax rates in order to encourage venture capital investment; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 to allow pension funds to invest in private equity ([Bygrave and Timmons, 1992], [Gompers and Lerner, 1998] and [Lerner, 1999]).In the US, the stock exchanges are registered with and regulated by the SEC. The SEC is aregulatory agency created by the Congress in 1934. The role of SEC is to ensure that the investment companies, public companies and other participants in the securities markets comply with federal securities laws. According to the study by Gompers and Lerner (1995), over 80% of venture capital funds are organised as limited partnerships. Venture capitalists tend to liquidate their investments within 7–10 years. Although IPO is considered to be the most attractive option for the entrepreneurial companies to liquidate an investment ([Sahlman, 1990] and [James, 1994]), the public investments in their stocks are quite risky. This is because the entrepreneurial companies do not have established track record to show their performance. Their stocks tend to be traded in low volumes (low market capitalisation) and underperform the market, thereby increasing the riskiness of the portfolio. The SEC has toughened its rules in attempts to protect public investors in the securities markets. The companies trading on the Stock Market are required to register under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They must file various other classes of financial data and information with government bodies.There is a close relationship between IPO and venture capital since IPO is an exit for entrepreneurial ventures and investors. When a VC-backed company decides to issue securities to the public, the company will offer the securities through an IPO. In the US, small entrepreneurial companies often seek a public market for their stock on the NASDAQ stock market ([Bannock, 1994], [Black and Gilson, 1998] and [Tykvová and Walz, 2007]).By bringing companies public, the venture capitalists could establish a reputation and raise capital for new funds ([Gompers, 1996]and [Gompers and Lerner, 1999]). However, they also face the regulatory pressures as financial regulators become more involved in the efficiency of the securities industry. In order to sell securities in the capital market, they must register the securities offering with applicable authorities, or an exemption from registration must be found. Although IPOs represent the best means for initial investors to obtain a return, they are costly. Rushing the companies to IPO would impose heightened costs on the issuers.2 Venture capital industry and SEC’s role in regulating the capital marketIn the venture capital industry, the entrepreneur is the owner of the VC share. Venture capitalists liquidate their portfolio company investments by bringing venture-backed companies to public. Fig. 5presents the model of venture capital financing describing the process from fund raising to investment exits. The model also describes the linkages of venture capital market to the financial/capital markets and the related capital market laws.For the young companies entering the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the investments in their stocks involve risk. Many microcap companies4 are new and have no proven track record. Some of them have no assets or operations. As microcap stocks trade in low volumes, any size of trade can have a large percentage impact on the price of the stock. These risks have caught the attention of SEC to enforce regulatory compliance on the securities market. The young companies who later enter the market do not appreciate the heightened costs coming from the laws and regulations governing the capital markets. Small issuers often lack the expertise and experience to deal with the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The aforementioned problems to capital formation would affect the level of venture capital investment, inhibit innovation and adversely affect national productivity.Currently, the laws and regulations pose impairment to small issuers seeking capital. In the future, it would seem that the SEC would produce further legislative initiatives on top of this to protectinvestors. From the venture capitalists’ perspective, they try to understand that the regulations are financial watchdogs to help mitigate problems in microcap frauds. However, they argue that the regulatory focus should be on ‘sales’ (not ‘offers’). In their view, venture capital is an important intermediary in the financial/capital market (as shown in Fig. 5). The IPO market and the process of going public are central to the success of venture capital investment and reinvestment into new ventures. Therefore, they would rather see SEC not making the new regulations burdensome on small business capital formation and competition.3. Policy implications and conclusionsGiven that the stock market is essential for the venture capitalists to exit through an initial public offering (IPO), this study explores the influence of capital market laws and IPO process on venture capital. The analysis suggests that the government should take action to improve the environment for small business capital formation, consistent with other public policy goals since entrepreneurial businesses are important to the economy. Policymakers wishing to develop venture capital market should effectively develop securities laws to assist the capital markets to function and therefore IPOs. It is argued that the process of venture capitalists getting a return from the VC funds as a result of successful exits through IPOs would help stimulate the new venture capitalists to enter the VC market (further initiating new investments).文献翻译资本市场法律和首次公开发行对风险投资的影响2摘要：本文关注的是资本市场的法律和首次公开发行（IPO）对风险投资过程的影响。
