Probably not worth it at present.
Looks more like an exercise in brand growth/exploitation. They've got a lot of investments in media companies, but as far as I can tell the only other "sport" investment they have is in the Harlem Globetrotters. | |

We are in talks with the council about buying the stadium so possibly that is what they will finance. | | | |

That's certainly a strong possibility. Shamrock stump up the cash in return for a percentage of the club and maybe an enhanced cut of any increase in commercial income going forward. | |

Patrick Russo of Shamrock Capital is also on the board of the Miley Cyrus Foundation. Double header with Snoop Dog to celebrate the extension? Might be the only time the expanded stadium sells out! | | | |

Not quite correct but close. The $7.4 billion is other people's mont under their management. It is important to know the difference between this and the Kaplan Levien investment.
In this case investment it seems is from money from their under management funds not a separate fund owned by the owners.
You will remember Kaplan and Levien. Kaplan was a director at Oaktree Capital Management which has £270 billion under management and much bigger than Shamrock. However Oaktree did not invest in Swansea Kaplan did himself with his friend Levien setting up a separate business. Kaplan sold up his founding shareholding and pocketted a few hundreds of millions. His loss in Swansea was disappointing but he will not have lost any sleep over it.
I suspect Kaplan was a lot weather than many believed. Shamrock are investing other people money invested with them not their own. The idea of hedge funds is the owner of the fund is invested as well and has a vested interest in doing well. All the investors in the Kaplan Levien fund took a hit and chequed out accepting it did not work. [Post edited 29 Jun 19:15]

It took me 20 minutes of my time to explain to the forum community the difference between this and Kaplan Levien investment as it appeared to be similar . I am a frustrated teacher and like explaining things to people who are not well versed in these matters .
You post was a little misleading. I got a bouncing coin after my essay on James Analytics.. C'est la vie!
That was the equivalent of young Evans's paper aeroplane in English literature on a hot wednesday afternoon. [Post edited 29 Jun 19:30]

Swansea have not released detail on the size or form of the investment, but have indicated that Shamrock Capital will not become shareholders in the club.
So how is this investment working if not shareholders? Are they just going to be a financing vehicle. Loans? | | | |

Well we have had our old friend the "convertible loan note " before.
We are in the world of wonderful financial manoeuvre s and techniques. Hedge funds and the like.
The CLN was a loan made to the club to to turned into shares at a fixed price some time in the future. Perhaps something like this is involved. [Post edited 1 Jul 12:19]

The Swans are gaining what could be multi millions in investment over time. This isn’t a small issue by any means and with the fans park under way there is much to look forward to. Not only that getting in another winger and centre back on a permanent is solid business.
People are complaining elsewhere, you would think we were entitled to these things. |  |

Especially with the losses of £17m last season a millions before. In the old Morgan / Jenkins regime these losses woud have killed the club. They saw the way the wind was blowing and exited. The fans group were not paying attention. | |

Things are definitely looking good. These owners are doing a great job. There are always moaners who will never be happy. I am really excited by all the positive things going on at our club. | | | |
