Prior to founding Pegasus, Cogut was a senior principal and one of the founding partners of Apollo Management. Leon Black and Craig Cogut started Apollo Management during the twilight of their careers at former investment banking power Drexel Burnham Lambert after the bank was besieged by allegations over illegal activities involving high-yield debt. From 1990 to 1995, Cogut was involved in virtually all aspects of Apollo's distressed securities investments and restructurings. He left Apollo in 1995 and established Pegasus to focus on investments in middle-market companies facing financial distress.〔 Like Jerome Kohlberg who left his KKR to find the middle-market private equity shop Kohlberg & Company, Cogut departed from Apollo to concentrate on the middle-market sector where returns from deals are more reliant on the actual alpha of the investor. In other words, Cogut wanted to concentrate on transactions that could generate returns through revenue growth and operating improvements rather than largely relying on financial leverage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pegasus Capital Advisors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
