Definition from Merriam-Webster dictionary:
A form of venture capitalism in which aggressive methods are used to buy a distressed business with the intention of selling it at a profit.

秃鹫资本主义


Definition from 经济学人:
与秃鹫消灭动物的残骸保持环境清洁一样,秃鹫资本主义者寻找企业的残骸——购买处在破产边缘的企业,然后协助他们削减多余的部分,筛选有价值的部分留下来。

Example sentence(s):
  • 33岁的美国民主党支持者布拉德·格里弗斯在华盛顿附近一个私立高中工作。他对记者说,奥巴马定能胜出有两个主要理由。其一,奥巴马政府推出的汽车业救助计划将帮助他赢得关键的密歇根州、俄亥俄州和宾夕法尼亚州,那里为数众多的蓝领工人普遍支持汽车业救助计划,而共和党总统候选人罗姆尼曾反对救助汽车业,被认为热衷于冷血的“秃鹫资本主义”;其二,坚持原则是领导人的重要品质,奥巴马的政策总体来说前后一致,而罗姆尼的立场不停地改变,“为了当选说什么都行”,“美国人最终会看出他的虚伪和浅薄”。 - 人民网  
  • 现在,西方国家又一次来到十字路口,它们的发展模式由于难以促进增长遭遇严峻挑战,整个社会深受其苦。目前,其经济增长的引擎转换为以华尔街和英国富时指数为代表的私募股权和风险基金。有人把这种资本主义模式称为“秃鹫”模式。这种模式不再把重点放在促进增长,而是尽可能地压榨剩余价值。在疲软的经济背景和这种模式主导下,推动利益分享极其艰难,越是掌握权势的上层精英就越不愿与别人分享权力和利益。目前西方经济已对“秃鹫”模式产生严重依赖,而金融界趁此机会竭尽所能掠夺市场,疯狂地从一切可能的增长点(不仅仅是从贸易和投资)获利,完全不顾如何创造实质性增长。 - www.ckxx.net  
  • 中新网9月26日电 马来西亚《东方日报》9月26日发表何启斌撰写的文章《秃鹰资本主义行动》指出,国家领袖要了解的是,当把国家金融门户大开放时,尤其是当货币可以自由兑换,资金可以自由进出时,不管是“秃鹰”或“豺狼”都会进入狙击。所谓的“豺狼”,一齐狙击时,一头健康的狮子都会被分尸,正如上个星期在华尔街所上演的那样。 - 东方日报

禿鷹投資


Definition from 中信金融管理學院:
禿鷹基金是投機資金,禿鷹公司會撤底分析一間公司什麼是有價值的、什麼是沒有價值的、什麼是可以立即變現的、什麼是無法立即變現的,並藉此圖取暴利,從而可能讓企業苦心經營的成果一下子被奪走,使用的手段往往顛覆正常經營學或傳統道德觀。如同禿鷹甚少攻擊健康動物,通常體質有問題的企業才會被禿鷹基金盯上。

Example sentence(s):
  • 正邪一線間的禿鷹公司,讓你又愛又恨,狙擊金玉其外的公司,也可能錯殺按部就班的市場。 - 財訊  
  • 禿鷹投資人也可向無法繼續支付房貸,必須出售房地產以改善其資產負債表或維持其信用評等的房貸戶購買房屋。禿鷹投資人和天使投資人最主要的差別,是前者拯救其他企業自己犯下的錯,後者則提供種子資金給瀕臨破產的企業,希望它們的投資能夠轉虧為盈。 - DigitTimes  
  • 這些基金之所以被冠以「禿鷹」之名,正是因為它們專向困境的企業入手,正如禿鷹緊盯腐屍或受傷動物一樣,而且這些基金的獨特運作令其不擔心企業償還不了債項的風險,這種伺機在低位購入不良債權,以博取高回報就如禿鷹的進食模式一樣。 - 【蘇教授論經濟】禿鷹基金(�
