OVERVIEW
Life Cycle of an Investment
Private equity can offer access to a wide spectrum of business sectors and stages (i.e., start-ups, middle market and well-established enterprises) and has distinct value-add advantages throughout the life cycle of an investment.
On the Buy
On the Hold
On the Sell

On the Buy

  • Private equity has distinct advantages, including access to detailed, non-public information, which enables more informed decision-making and the ability to unlock exclusive opportunities
  • Private equity managers can also benefit from the use of innovative financing structures and valuation asymmetries

On the Hold

  • Private equity managers look to significantly enhance portfolio company performance during the hold period via strategic growth initiatives, operational improvements and effective governance, among others
  • Common methods to add value to a portfolio company during the holding period:
    • Margin improvement
    • Mergers & Acquisitions
    • Product line expansion
    • Geographic expansion

On the Sell

  • Private equity managers have many potential exit options, including an IPO or sale of the portfolio company to a strategic (e.g. mergers and acquisitions) or financial buyer (e.g. another private equity firm)
  • Importantly, private equity managers are not managing to quarterly earnings, and can take a long-term mindset and choose to exit at the most attractive time
