About the report

Since the private equity heyday of the 1980s, when financial engineering ruled the playbook for this novel type of investing, a lot has changed. This white paper looks into strategies fund managers in private equity use to generate value. 

Key highlights

  • What makes private equity unique? Private equity is a unique asset class, often distinguished from public equities due to the asset’s illiquidity. This illiquidity has a clear rationale and direct consequences.
  • Private equity focusing on the fundamentals In the wake of strong competition and rising valuation multiples, successful fund managers have differentiated themselves by focusing on operational value creation, as a more persistent and replicable way of creating value within their portfolio companies.
  • Persistence in value creation Whilst the persistence of performance in private equity funds is a highly debated topic, research has shown that only operational improvement is a replicable source of value creation as compared to the other performance components.
