Abstract

Advent International, one of the world’s leading private equity firms, must decide whether to acquire Walmart’s subsidiary in Brazil or not. Although Walmart Brazil is losing cash at a rapid pace, Advent thinks it has a solid plan to recover the company’s finances. However, there are several execution risks associated with the deal and local analysts are skeptical about the possibility of a quick turnaround.
