The Challenge
The private equity industry is now an asset class that counts more than 7,500 active firms globally, with an ecosystem of banks and intermediaries alongside it. In such a crowded space, investors can no longer rely on an “information advantage” to acquire assets outside of a competitive auction or target industries primed to benefit from long-term trends. The new challenge is to enable a persistent and unique investor advantage based on a data-powered, “inside-out” view of a company’s operating drivers.
