[ˈlevərd ˈɛkwɪti]
nounpl: levered equities
patrimônio com alavancagem
1. The equity of a company or investment that has been financed partially with debt (leverage), representing the residual ownership after accounting for borrowed funds
The levered equity returns were significantly higher than the unlevered returns due to the company's substantial debt financing.
Os retornos do patrimônio com alavancagem foram significativamente maiores do que os retornos não alavancados devido ao financiamento substancial da dívida da empresa.
2. In finance and valuation, the equity value of a firm that uses debt in its capital structure, making it more sensitive to operational performance
Investors calculated the levered equity value by subtracting net debt from the enterprise value.
Os investidores calcularam o valor do patrimônio com alavancagem subtraindo a dívida líquida do valor da empresa.
This is a specialized financial term widely used in investment banking, private equity, and corporate finance in both the USA and Brazil. In Brazil, the term is commonly used in Portuguese as 'patrimônio com alavancagem' or as a direct English borrowing 'equity alavancado' in financial circles. It's essential terminology for understanding corporate valuation, LBO (leveraged buyout) transactions, and investment returns analysis. The concept is critical in emerging markets like Brazil where leverage strategies are frequently employed in corporate restructuring and acquisition financing.
