Investors
Creating value doesn't end with the investment. We help investors strengthen the strategy, operations, and commercial capabilities portfolio companies need to deliver against higher expectations for growth and performance.
What Investors Are Up Against
Capital creates the opportunity for growth, but realizing its value depends on what happens next. As expectations for portfolio performance increase, investors need partners who can translate value-creation priorities into meaningful change across the business.
More Value Has to Be Created From Within
As recent industry data shows, investors are placing greater emphasis on portfolio company performance after the investment, as they look to create value and generate returns.
Value Creation Is Becoming More Systematic
75% of PE firms now apply a consistent value-creation model across their portfolio, up from roughly 50% a decade ago.
Exit Readiness Is a Greater Priority
2 in 3 GPs say they are more focused on exit readiness than usual as longer hold periods and uncertain markets increase pressure on portfolio performance.
Value Creation Is Becoming a GP Differentiator
53% of LPs rank a GP's value-creation strategy among their top five criteria when selecting a manager.
More of the Investment Return Now Has to Come from Improving the Performance of the Portfolio Company Itself.
12%
Annual EBITDA growth may now be required to generate returns that historically could have been achieved with roughly 5% growth, as multiple expansion and leverage become less reliable sources of value creation.
