Supporting Private Equity’s increasing operationalisation

From Venture Capital to Infrastructure, the Private EquiTEA podcast covers the entire market and gives a voice to all our professionals: fund managers, investors, regulators, lawyers, investment bankers and portfolio managers.

William Berger, Partner at Eight Advisory, shares his expertise on financial and operational support to companies, as well as current trends and issues in the PE market. Three key takeaways:

Increasing operationalisation 

PE funds are increasingly  an operational approach to their due diligence and to the support to their portfolio companies. This trend reflects growing interest by funds in the performance level and value creation of the target companies.

Growing sophistication of private equity  

The operational approach of private equity is becoming more complex and sophisticated, including new intervention levers and an increasing integration of ESG considerations into the overall transformation of companies. This evolution reflects convergence towards practices that are both more holistic from an operational standpoint and more sustainablees.

Differentiation of the funds 

PE funds are increasingly differentiating themselves on the market through their unique selling proposition. From sector specialisation to operational support, each player is trying to highlight its specific value to both its LPs and the companies it aims to invest in.
